In order to further meet the global demand for high load carrying capacity of aerial work platforms, Genie has launched a new Genie® XC series boom-type aerial work platform. The Genie SX-125 XC is Genie's heavyweight launch since 2016. The second XC series product designed and produced after SX-135 XC. As an important part of the global manufacturing strategic layout of the Terex Aerial Work Platform Division, the Changzhou plant is an important base for the R&D and production of the Genie SX-125 XC and its supply to the global market.

Thanks to the advantage of Gini's half a century of equipment manufacturing experience in Redmond, Washington, USA, the Terex Aerial Work Platform Division Changzhou has developed rapidly since its establishment in 2010 and has established its own R&D team. Welding production lines, spray production lines, straight arms, crank arms, and scissor aerial work platform production lines have gradually achieved local production of Gini's full range of products and supplied it to the world. In June 2016, the expansion of the second phase of the plant opened a new chapter in Changzhou's factory development. It broadens Gini’s business in various fields and also enables Gini to continue to play a greater role in the global manufacturing strategy of the Terex Aerial Work Platform Division.

"The Genie SX-125 XC is developed and designed by the Chinese design team and is available globally. We have always been adhering to the 'customer-centric' product design concept and strive to provide customers with better equipment and services on the road to innovation. And high return on investment.The mass production of the Genie SX-125 XC at the Changzhou plant represented our own R&D capability and production level and strength reached a new height, further consolidating the Changzhou plant as a global production of Terex. The strategic location of the base, said Lear Zhang, manager of the Changzhou plant engineering design department.

The Genie SX-125 XC is an industry-leading dual-capacity platform with 660 pounds (300 kilograms) of unrestricted full-load and 1000 pounds (454 kilograms) of constrained load, making it suitable for higher load carrying capacity More applications are required such as stadiums, gas and oil refineries, and industrial and telecommunications. The smooth fan-shaped work area allows the platform to be loaded onto up to 3 operators, leaving room for materials and tools. The standard weight sensor can monitor the load conditions in the platform in real time and automatically select the appropriate working range. In addition, the Genie SX-125 XC device has a horizontal extension of 24.38 meters, which greatly improves work efficiency.

“The Genie SX-125 XC will completely replace our current Genie S-125 straight arm aerial work platform.” Changzhou plant engineering design department manager added: “The most important part of our design innovation philosophy is listening, designing In the program, we give top priority to customer feedback, and how to maximize the return on investment of our customers has always been the direction for us to think about and improve.The updated XC series products have upgraded the design of the boom structure and can carry larger Platform load; effectively reducing the number of times that the tools and materials are picked up and retracted during operation, which saves time and greatly improves work efficiency.We believe that the Genie XC series products that will be launched in the future will meet the needs of customers. At the same time bring them better economic returns."

The mass production of the Genie SX-125 XC at the Terex Aerial Work Platform Division Changzhou represented a new leap in localization R&D capabilities. In the future, Gini will continue to lead the industry in technological innovation and development, enhance core competitiveness in an all-round way, and occupy the next commanding height of industrial technology development.
