Genie, whose 180-foot SX-180 boom lift was recently eclipsed as the world's tallest by the 185-foot JLG 1850SJ Ultra Boom, has put its competitor on notice regarding possible patent infringement.
"We have some concerns because it appears to be similar in how it is executed." said Brad Allen, vice president of marketing, product management and engineering for Terex Corp.'s aerial work platform unit, which produces the Genie brand. Allen spoke to ENR on March 5 at the CONEXPO-CON/AGG equipment show in Las Vegas.
