Sofranel first spotted the Z-62/40 TraX boom, with its four independent triangular rubber tracks, on the Genie stand at bauma in 2019. The company already owns Genie S-65 TraX telescopic boom lifts.

Founded in 1977, Sofranel runs a wide range of equipment in its fleet. Its aerial lifts include self-propelled models and a growing range of tracked machines from Genie, ATN, Almac and Palfinger. It also operates a small fleet of truck mounts.
