Genie Z-51/30J RT Boom Lift: High Reach Meets Rugged Reliability with Uphire

The Genie Z-51/30J RT is built to perform in demanding outdoor environments where height, reach, and tough terrain are part of the job. With its powerful diesel engine, four-wheel drive, and impressive working envelope, this articulating boom lift is ideal for construction, maintenance, and industrial applications where access is often limited and conditions are unpredictable. Choosing the right equipment is only part of the equation. To get the full value from a machine like the Z-51/30J RT, you need a trusted rental partner—and that’s where Uphire stands out.

This boom lift offers a maximum working height of 17.59 metres, with a horizontal outreach of 9.37 metres. It also features a 1.52-metre articulating jib with vertical rotation of 135 degrees, which allows operators to access hard-to-reach areas with precision and ease. The up-and-over capabilities of the Genie Z-51/30J RT are particularly valuable on job sites cluttered with obstacles such as buildings, scaffolding, or other equipment. This level of reach and control gives operators the ability to work efficiently without constant repositioning of the base unit.

Designed for outdoor use, the Genie Z-51/30J RT is equipped with rough terrain tyres and active oscillating axles, which automatically adjust to uneven ground for greater stability and traction. The four-wheel drive system and 45% gradeability mean this lift can climb steep slopes and operate on rough or muddy surfaces without sacrificing performance. These features make it ideal for industries such as civil construction, commercial roofing, mining support services, and infrastructure development.

Power and durability are at the core of the Genie Z-51/30J RT, but its user-focused design also ensures safe, intuitive operation. Proportional lift and drive controls provide smooth and responsive movement, while the self-levelling platform keeps operators steady at height. The 227 kg lift capacity is more than enough to support a worker with tools and materials, making it practical for long tasks that require a full setup at elevation. Built-in safety systems, including tilt alarms and descent brakes, add another layer of protection on the job site.

While the features of the Genie Z-51/30J RT are impressive, the full benefits are only realised when rented through a provider that maintains high operational standards.
