Genie telematics connector

A wide range of Genie’s new aerial work platforms in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Russia are now being fitted with telematics connectors as standard.

The factory installed, eight pin telematics connector allows companies to quickly connect their own telematics systems to the Genie aerial lifts.

Also available within the Europe, Africa and Middle East region, is an option to incorporate a card reader security system - which uses a TrackUnit Smart ID device to read IPAF Smart PAL cards - and Genie's track and trace system. Features include hourmeter reporting, location, machine utilisation, breakdown, failure and security functions such as geo-fencing, alarms by movement or input and remote machine disabling.

All Genie aerial work platforms and telehandlers will come with the telematic connector as standard by the end of 2015

Matt Skipworth, Genie service solutions manager for the region, said: “Our customers have many brands of equipment to manage and many different versions of telematics solutions. Our new telematics-ready aerial work platforms are unique in that they are the only products of their kind providing our customers the ability to manage their diverse fleets without being forced into a particular telematics solution.”

The company has said it plans for all of its aerial work platforms and telehandlers to be telematics-ready by the end of 2015. Currently all its aerial work platforms in North America come with the telematics connector as standard, along with its S- telescopic, Z- diesel articulating, Z-40/23 boom lifts and scissor/Runabouts lifts throughout the rest of the world.
