MEDCO, Genie’s authorized distributor in Saudi Arabia, has started delivering 135 Genie boom and scissor lifts acquired by Al Majal Al Arabi for facility maintenance on holy mosques in Makkah and Madinah. These lifts will be utilized for routine cleaning and maintenance at these critical sites.
The purchase comprises Genie S-60 J and S-80 J telescopic boom lifts, GS E-Drive scissor lifts, and electric Z-60 DC articulating boom lifts.
Each piece of equipment has key attributes that make it the best lift for certain duties at these Saudi cultural sites. For example, the S-60 J and S-80 J telescopic boom lifts are lighter than comparable booms in their class, making them suitable for work on delicate surfaces, while the Z-60 DC articulating boom lifts give up-and-over access for reaching difficult-to-reach regions. Because they are electric, the Z-60 DC machines produce no noise or emissions, making them ideal for indoor use.
Similarly, Genie GS E-Drive scissor lifts enable MEDCO’s customer Al Majal Al Arabi to work indoors or outdoors. Electric scissor lifts are efficient, low-maintenance, and easy to handle, increasing workplace productivity. Because there are 70% fewer hoses and fittings, the risk of hydraulic leaks is reduced to near zero, which is especially important when working on historic sites.
