EquipmentWatch has awarded Genie the EquipmentWatch Highest Retained Value Award for Articulating Boom Lifts, Telescopic Boom Lifts, and I.C. Scissor Lifts. Additionally, Genie also received the Lowest Cost of Ownership Award for Articulating Boom Lifts. These industry awards leverage third-party, unbiased data to identify equipment that is projected to best hold its value and/or offer the lowest cost of ownership in the next five years.

Winners in the EquipmentWatch Highest Retained Value category represent the model within its respective equipment type projected to retain the highest percentage of its original value after a five-year period, based on the EquipmentWatch market activity database.

Three Genie products received the EquipmentWatch Highest Retained Value Award:

  • Genie Z articulating boom lifts, which include the versatile and efficient Genie FE fuel-electric hybrid booms, as well as all-electric booms lifts; 
  • Genie scissor lifts which now include a maintenance free AC electric drive. Genie E-Drive delivers increased run time per battery charge and reduced maintenance costs.
