Genesis Attachments Goes Boom

Genesis Attachments, Superior, Wis., has introduced a new program that enters it into the business of making heavy-duty two-piece and three-piece boom fronts.

“There is clearly an urgent need for this type of equipment in today’s highly competitive scrap yard,” says David Palvere, Genesis’ Used Equipment Manager. “We are poised to provide both turnkey packages and individual components for immediate bottom-line impact. In addition to a range of material handling makes and sizes — specifically material handlers in the 20-to85-ton range — we are offering scrap professionals extremely quick access to additional equipment to maximize production.”

Equipment to which Palvere refers includes:

• Two-piece and three-piece boom fronts, matched to the customer’s choice of excavator. Two-piece booms offer a hooked stick design to maximize grapple clearance.
• Orange-peel scrap grapples designed for fast, efficient movement and load-out of onsite material. Grapples feature standard 360° rotation, high-strength steel construction, high-pressure hydraulic components, and availability in sizes from .75 to 2 cubic yards.
• Cab risers for increased operator visibility. Risers are available as a fixed-cab design to raise up to 8 feet, or in a manual-tilt riser design in heights of 48 inches, 60 inches and 72 inches.
• Additional counterweight kits.
• The full line of Genesis XP Series mobile shears.

Company officials cite a continued solid scrap market and a corresponding need to quickly move material through the yard as the impetus for such a program.

“This program is the logical extension of our highly-successful Excavator/Shear Package Program,” says Palvere. “Our customers have consistently cited that program — and the convenience it offers in providing complete, turnkey excavator/attachment packages — as extremely valuable. We wanted to offer our scrap recycling customers the same level of convenience, choice, accountability and confidence when seeking out material handling equipment for their scrap operations.”

Genesis’ Material Handling Program will provide both components and full turnkey packages for major excavator brands including Caterpillar, Komatsu, Liebherr, and Hitachi. As is the case with Genesis’ Excavator Package Program, material handling packages will ship with all necessary hydraulic plumbing installed, says the company.
