Genie booms for Lufthansa
German airline Lufthansa has purchased two Genie electric articulating booms for maintenance of its aircraft at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. The pair of Genie Z-34/22 Ns is equipped with specially adapted aircraft protection packages. The machines have a working height of 12.52 m, a maximum horizontal reach of 6.78 m with an up-and-over clearance of 4.62 m. They also offer a 1.47 m system width, making them suitable for aircraft maintenance. Since acquiring the booms, Lufthansa has placed an order for a Genie GS-3246 scissor lift and has plans to order three additional lifts in the near future, said the manufacturer.
