The Genie Z-60 Bi-Energy is a 60 ft (18.16 m) platform height articulating knuckle boom lift with a working height of 20.16 m (65 ft) and a horizontal reach of 11.15 m (36 ft 6 in). It carries a platform capacity of 227 kg (500 lb) and runs on a bi-energy power system — a diesel engine for outdoor work on rough terrain combined with zero-emission electric drive for indoor and enclosed-space operation. This dual-power capability makes it one of the most versatile booms in the 60 ft class, suited to commercial construction, industrial maintenance, building facades, and large-scale fit-outs.
What sets the Z-60 Bi-Energy apart is the ability to move seamlessly between fuel modes without changing machines. On Australian construction sites — where a single job often spans outdoor ground prep and indoor structural work — this eliminates the need to swap to a separate electric unit when working inside. The articulating knuckle boom configuration gives it the ability to reach up and over obstructions, making it practical for working around steelwork, roof structures, and plant equipment where a straight-mast machine cannot reach. Four-wheel drive and rough-terrain tyres allow it to operate on uneven ground typical of active build sites.
In the Geelong region, the Z-60 Bi-Energy sees regular use on commercial and industrial construction projects, warehouse and cold-store maintenance, and large residential developments where work moves between indoor and outdoor environments in a single hire period.
