The Genie S40 is a telescopic boom lift designed to perform a variety of heavier lifting tasks on challenging sites. Whether negotiating elevated heights, narrow spaces, tough ground or weather conditions, one of the Genie S40 models will be up to the task. Additionally, to prevent hazards while operating and navigating Genie S40 lifts and other aerial work platforms, regular maintenance and replacing essential safety features as needed is key. This guide examines important safety considerations for aerial lifts including drip diapers, as well as how to keep lifts maintained with available replacement parts that fit Genie machines.
The Importance of Drip Diapers and Other Safety Features for Genie S40 Lifts
Safety in operation, safety of the workplace, and personnel safety feature prominently in ANSI certification and OSHA compliance. Here are four boom lift components that serve important functions in support of these necessities:
-
Drip Diapers: Drip diapers offer several benefits for the Genie S40 and other lifts. For lifts operating in industrial locations, construction sites and more, a diaper installation helps protect the machine itself from fluid leaks that may compromise its operation or lifespan. During indoor use or storage, this lift part reduces the potential for fall hazards and floor damage.
-
Tilt and descent alarms: Although the Genie S40 is designed for rugged terrain and the HF models can navigate sensitive ground conditions like sand or turf, operators may still encounter hazards like dangerous inclines. Especially since some of these boom lifts may be operating during any time of year, an alarm signaling unstable ground conditions is imperative.
-
Horns: When a boom lift or other AWP is in action, horns help ensure that everyone is aware of their activity and location. Additionally, horn use can prevent harm from coming to bystanders, as well as products, structures or other machines.
- Platform load sensing: Lifts like the Genie S40 are designed to hold hundreds of pounds. However, even lift models with extended capacity still have a weight cap. As a result, the platform load sensing system is designed to ensure that this cap is not exceeded, as too much weight may create hazardous conditions from the ground up to the top of the lift.
Maintaining Lifts with Replacement Parts that Fit the Genie S40
With ongoing lift maintenance, operators can keep AWPs at their peak performance levels, help ensure safe working conditions and be better able to adhere to any set project schedules. Both pre-use and post-work inspections provide reassurance for operators and others at the site. These assessments also help support boom lifts like the Genie S40 in functioning efficiently and effectively. In addition to operational checks, routine maintenance also encompasses executing improvements like replacing old or worn parts. At Aerial Equipment Parts, we offer an extensive inventory of replacement parts that fit Genie S40 boom lifts and other lifts from this manufacturer. Here are some of the top-selling safety parts that fit Genie lifts:
S40 Diaper for Genie
For maximum protection, this S40 Diaper for Genie catches fluid drips and keeps them from damaging the boom lift itself. It also serves to reduce the trip and fall hazards that account for a number of workplace injuries and even deaths each year. This heavy duty, absorbent pad takes just a few minutes to install but can provide many more hours of protection and peace of mind.
Tire Wheel Covers for Genie Lifts
In addition to drip diapers, tire wheel covers protect the surfaces that Genie lifts may encounter from noticeable marks and other damage. The design of this replacement also makes wheel hubs accessible for daily safety checks.
Machine Keys For Genie Lifts
Keep operations on schedule with replacement machine keys that fit lifts like the Genie S40. The cost of having extra keys on hand is small compared to work time lost from missing keys or the safety concerns that may arise from being unable to move a lift from a worksite.
