Genie booms for GPT

Irish rental company GPT (Galway Plant & Toot) has placed an order for a large number of Genie boom lifts.

The order, part of an investment programme that will add 200 new machines to the company’s fleet includes: 125ft SX-125XC, 85ft S-85XC and 65ft S-65XC dual capacity telescopic boom lifts, along with 62ft Z-62/40 and 80ft Z-80/60 articulated booms.

GPT operations director Enda Eiffe said: “We are extremely pleased to be one of the first companies to introduce these new Genie XC boom lifts to customers in Ireland. Their arrival over recent weeks is another example of the significant investment GPT is making that adds value to our broadening aerial offering. With these new machines, customers now have the choice of the optimum mix of standard and dual capacity Genie XC models with increased lift capabilities to support new application opportunities and new working trends adapted to rising demand in a positive local market context.”

“With their heavier lift capacity and excellent below-grade reach that further expands their field of application, we are expecting our new Genie XC models to be a popular choice among customers for civil engineering, steel fixing and facilities maintenance applications. By increasing productivity, they will find that they can do more using a single machine, which in turn helps to reduce labour costs. We are confident that these new units will rapidly become a must have that will generate the high rates of utilisation that we expect from any rental equipment to support our business.”
