Overview
About the Genie Z-40/23N RJ Articulating Boom Lift
The Genie Z-40/23N RJ is a narrow battery-electric articulating boom lift: 14.32m working height, 12.32m platform height, 6.91m horizontal reach and 6.48m up-and-over clearance, on a 1.50m wide chassis. A 48V DC pack (eight 6V 350Ah batteries) drives a 29V three-phase AC drive system — no exhaust, low noise, and an inside turning radius of just 0.87m. The 1.22m jib works through 128 degrees vertically and 90 degrees horizontally; the platform rotates 180 degrees and the turntable 355 degrees non-continuous. 227kg platform capacity.
Where it works
Best-fit jobs and sites
- High access on finished or noise-sensitive sites, atriums and plant rooms, working over obstacles where a 1.5m wide machine is the only one that fits.
Good to confirm: Electric drive with 30% gradeability — firm, reasonably level ground. Confirm slab loading before taking it inside. An online listing cannot replace a site assessment, so tell us the job and we will confirm suitability.

The numbers that decide access
- Machine width
- 1.5 m: needs double doors or gate access
Drawn to scale from this machine's stored specifications. The manufacturer spec sheet (below) governs.
Delivery, access and running
Delivery is quoted by suburb, site access and transport requirements. Tell us the tightest access width on site if the machine must pass through gates, doorways or between structures.
Licence and competency: Boom-type EWP. A WP-class high-risk work licence is required in NSW where the boom length is 11m or more; harness with lanyard mandatory in the basket.
Hire period: Hire runs from delivery or pickup until off-hire is confirmed. Rates are quoted for your dates, suburb and machine together; see our hire terms for responsibilities during the hire.
Charging this machine
- Batteries
- 48V DC (eight 6V 350Ah batteries), 30A smart charger
- Our fleet guidance
- Charge overnight (about 8 hours) from a standard outlet for a full day's work. Runtime depends on battery condition, drive distance and lift cycles. Ask us if your job runs long shifts.
- Confirm a live, accessible power outlet near where the machine parks each night. A machine left away from power starts tomorrow flat.
- Plug in at the end of every shift, not "when it gets low"; opportunity charging at breaks helps on heavy days.
- Charge in a ventilated area and keep the charger connections dry.
Pre-start checks, every day
Every Equip Hire machine is function-tested before delivery, and every operator still checks the machine before each shift. This is the baseline we use; the machine's own logbook and check sheet govern.
Walk around
- Tyres, wheels and structure: damage, cracks, leaks
- Scissor stack / boom, pins and hoses: no visible damage or hydraulic leaks
- Decals, capacity plate and rails in place; gates close properly
- Work area: overhead power lines, holes, slopes, other traffic
Power on
- Battery state of charge: enough for the shift
- Ground and platform controls both operate correctly
- Emergency stop and horn work from both stations
Function test
- Raise, lower and drive at low height before working
- Emergency lowering: know where it is and that it works
- Tilt / overload alarms not showing faults
- Harness on, lanyard to the rated anchor point: mandatory in the basket
Any fault: tag it out and call us on 0472 721 234. Do not operate a machine with a known fault. Based on manufacturer pre-start requirements and SafeWork NSW guidance.
Before it arrives
- Measure the route, not the door. Every gate, corridor and lift on the way to the work area: handles, hinges, bollards and stored materials all eat clearance.
- Confirm the floor. Ground-bearing slab is fine; suspended slabs, mezzanines and raised floors need the wheel loads checked against the floor rating.
- Clear the work zone. Overhead services, sprinkler heads and light fittings at working height; exclusion for people below.
- Delivery space. Room for the truck to stop and unload safely. Tell us about docks, driveways and height limits when you book.
- Power point. A live outlet near overnight parking, so every day starts charged.
Mistakes we see weekly
- Booking on ceiling height instead of the actual task height. Measure to the work, then add nothing "just in case".
- Quoting the nominal door size instead of the clear opening. An 820 mm door leaf are not 820 mm once the door stop is counted.
- Assuming the machine can cross "a bit of lawn". Wheeled machines rut turf and bog in soft ground; say so and we'll send tracks.
- Leaving induction and permit requirements to delivery morning. Shopping centres and managed sites need paperwork before the truck arrives.
