Genie articulating boom lift helps build a logistics warehouse in France


Boulet Bâtiment is a building contractor based in Azincourt, Pas-de-Calais region, Northern France. Its main activities include structural work, metal framework installation, roofing, cladding and indoor finishing.

As part of the construction of a logistics warehouse for a freight transporter working from the port of Calais, the company recently acquired one of the first Genie articulating boom lifts in France featuring a track drive— a Genie Z-62/40 TraX. The machine was provided by EMM, authorised genie distributor (sales, service, and spare parts), based in Cappelle-la-Grande, near Dunkirk, Northern France.

So, how did Boulet Bâtiment acquire a Genie Z-62/40 TraX articulating track-driven boom lift? It all started with an article in the news that caught the attention of company manager Aoife Desgrousilliers. Eager to find out more, she contacted Genie through the brand’s website, and her request was immediately forwarded to Emmanuel Mouillière, Genie Sales Manager for the West of France and French overseas departments and territories.

When it came to learning more, Boulet Bâtiment was immediately reassured by the quality of the relationship between Genie and its distributor EMM, who explained in detail the relevance of a track-mounted boom lift, a productive and valuable solution for its customer’s various projects.

In addition to the machine’s unique and patented Genie TraX system that features four independent triangular tracks at each corner of the unit — allowing it to go virtually anywhere when the going gets tough — the Genie Z-62/40 TraX articulating boom is also spec’d to make it extremely efficient, productive, and versatile.
