180ft GENIE SX-180 TELESCOPIC BOOM

The Genie SX-180 is one of the tallest self-propelled telescopic boom lifts available, delivering a platform height of 54.86 m (180 ft) and a working height of 56.86 m (186 ft). With a horizontal outreach of 24.38 m and a 340 kg platform capacity, it is designed for large-scale construction, industrial maintenance, and infrastructure projects where conventional equipment simply cannot reach. The SX-180's telescopic boom geometry allows operators to position the platform far out over obstacles while remaining stable on rough or uneven terrain.

What sets the SX-180 apart from shorter-range telescopic booms is its ability to tackle jobs that would otherwise require crane-assisted personnel baskets or scaffolding at extreme heights — bridge inspection, high-rise facade maintenance, wind turbine servicing, and large industrial plant work. The machine's four-wheel drive and four-wheel steer configuration with oscillating axle make it capable on unprepared ground, while its extendable axles provide the wide wheelbase needed to support the boom at full extension. At this working height, the SX-180 remains one of only a handful of self-propelled platforms in its class available for hire in Victoria.

In the Geelong region, this machine suits major civil and infrastructure projects — including port facilities at Corio Quay, large industrial installations in the Geelong industrial corridor, and significant construction projects requiring safe access to height well above what standard 40–60 ft booms can provide. Geelong Access Hire can arrange transport and site induction for SX-180 hires across the Geelong and greater south-west Victoria area.
