Moroccan crane and access rental company Eurogrues Maroc has taken delivery of 99 Genie Z-60/37 FE 60ft hybrid and Xtra Capacity (XC) boom lifts, with plans to order another 100 units next year.
The Z-60/37 FE has four wheel electric wheel motor drive, and is a full battery electric machine with a diesel engine that generates sufficient power to be fully autonomous, as well as recharge the battery pack. The unit provides an outreach of 11.15 metres at an up and over height of 7.4 metres, with a maximum platform capacity is 230kg. The XC models offer 272kg unrestricted platform capacity or 454kg with reduced outreach.
Managing director Jose Antonio Moreno said: “It is one thing to be the market leader and to reap the benefits. But this also implies having a duty. For us, this means developing the professionalism of our industry, part of which includes promoting the safe use of the equipment that we provide, as well as introducing new technology to our customers, be it in terms of clean running machines that respect the environment, or offer improved platform capacities, offering increased productivity and even higher levels of performance.”
Genie sales director southern Europe and north Africa Christophe Rousseau added: “Since 2016, Genie and Eurogrues Maroc have established strong ties based on mutual trust that have led to large orders. Leader on its market, Eurogrues has invested in Genie models that feature our latest technologies, allowing them to remain a step ahead of competitors and to accompany the market in moving towards new practises. Their latest order including the hybrid Z-60 FE and XC boom lifts, is a perfect illustration of this strategy.”
Established in 2006, Eurogrues Maroc is based in Tangiers, with branches in Mohammedia, Jorf and Agadir. The company’s fleet includes aerial lifts, cranes and telehandlers.
