45ft GENIEZ45 ELECTRIC KNUCKLE BOOM

The Genie Z-45 Electric Knuckle Boom is a battery-powered articulating boom lift that delivers a 15.94 m (51 ft) working height and a platform height of 13.94 m (45 ft). With a 227 kg capacity and a horizontal outreach of 11.15 m, it is built for tasks that require working up and over obstacles or reaching into confined structural bays. Running on DC electric power, it produces zero on-site emissions and operates quietly — making it suited to indoor facilities, enclosed warehouses, and sensitive environments where diesel fumes or noise are not acceptable.

What sets the Z-45 apart from straight-mast or telescoping booms in this height range is its knuckle (articulating) jib. The up-and-over capability lets operators position the platform above obstructions — such as racking, pipework, or structural steel — without repositioning the machine. The electric drive system also delivers precise, low-speed movement on polished or sealed concrete floors without risking surface damage. The machine's compact footprint and proportionally large outreach make it a practical choice when site access is narrow but the work envelope is wide.

In the Geelong region, this machine is regularly used for maintenance and fit-out work in manufacturing plants, cold storage facilities, and large commercial buildings. It is also a common choice for stadium and arena venues, data centres, and retail distribution centres where overhead infrastructure is congested and emissions or noise restrictions apply.
