Genesis offers boom fronts.

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- to 85-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 on-site material. Grapples feature standard 360-degree rotation, high-strength steel construction, high-pressure hydraulic components and 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, 60 and 72 inches.

* Additional counterweight kits.

* The full line of Genesis XP Series mobile shears.

Genesis' Material Handling Program will provide components and full turnkey packages for major excavator brands including Caterpillar, Komatsu, Liebherr and Hitachi.
