About Genie Aerial Lifts
Genie Industries was founded in 1966 in Renton, Washington, and quickly established itself as the pioneer of the aerial work platform industry. The company introduced the first Genie Lift material hoist in the late 1960s and expanded into scissor lifts and boom lifts through the 1970s and 1980s. Terex Corporation acquired Genie in 2002, and today the Genie manufacturing campus in Redmond, Washington is one of the largest aerial work platform production facilities in the world.
For equipment financing, Genie carries a decisive advantage: it is the most recognized aerial lift brand among US equipment lenders. When an underwriter sees a Genie GS-3232 or S-60 on a loan application, they have years of auction data, dealer trade-in history, and rental fleet liquidation results that tell them exactly what that machine is worth. This depth of collateral data translates to faster approvals, lower required down payments, and more competitive interest rates compared to less-established aerial lift brands.
The Genie product line covers four main categories: GS-series electric and rough-terrain scissor lifts for vertical access applications, Z-series articulating boom lifts for reaching over and around obstacles, S-series straight telescoping boom lifts for maximum height and horizontal reach, and GTH-series telehandlers for material placement and construction logistics.

Terex Financial Services — Genie Financing Details
Terex Financial Services (TFS) is the captive OEM lender for all Genie equipment in North America, operating through the authorized Genie dealer network. TFS provides lease and loan programs for new Genie scissor lifts, boom lifts, and telehandlers, with processing typically completed within 24–48 hours for established businesses.
TFS standard loan terms run 36–72 months for new Genie equipment. Promotional programs — including 0% or reduced-rate financing — are offered during major trade events including CONEXPO, ICUEE, and ARA (American Rental Association) conventions, as well as during model year transitions. These promotional rates typically require a minimum 650–680 FICO score and apply only to new equipment purchased through authorized dealers.
For used Genie equipment, or for borrowers who want competitive rates beyond the dealer network, independent lenders are the better option. Beacon Capital Group, ENGS Commercial Finance, First Western Equipment Finance, and Crest Capital all have extensive experience financing used Genie aerial lifts. These lenders can often approve applications with 24-hour turnaround and require minimal documentation for transactions under $150,000.

Frequently Asked Questions — Genie Aerial Lift Financing
Who manufactures Genie aerial lifts?
Genie is a wholly owned subsidiary of Terex Corporation (Norwalk, CT) and manufactures aerial work platforms at its Redmond, Washington facility. Genie was founded in 1966 by Bud Bushnell in Renton, Washington, and was acquired by Terex in 2002. The Redmond facility is one of the largest aerial work platform manufacturing plants in the world. Terex Financial Services provides OEM financing through the authorized Genie dealer network.
What is the difference between Genie GS, Z-series, and S-series?
Genie GS-series are scissor lifts — they extend vertically only and are best for work directly above the machine ($12,000–$55,000). Z-series are articulating boom lifts with multiple boom sections that can reach over and around obstacles — ideal for complex work positions ($55,000–$180,000). S-series are straight telescoping boom lifts that reach the greatest horizontal distances and maximum heights up to 135 feet ($60,000–$200,000+). GTH models are telehandlers for material placement and construction site logistics.
Why do lenders prefer Genie equipment?
Genie is the most recognized aerial lift brand in the United States, which means lenders have high confidence in collateral value. The extremely active used Genie market on IronPlanet, Ritchie Bros., and Purple Wave gives lenders precise residual value data. Every major equipment lender in the US has Genie in their approved collateral list, and approval rates are among the highest in the aerial work platform category. Genie's Terex parentage and US manufacturing also reduce lender concerns about parts supply.
What does Terex Financial Services offer for Genie equipment?
Terex Financial Services (TFS) is the captive OEM lender for Genie equipment, operating through the authorized dealer network. TFS offers standard loans (36–72 months), FMV leases, and periodic promotional financing. Promotional 0% or reduced-rate programs are offered during major rental industry events and model year transitions. TFS approves applications for both new and certified pre-owned Genie equipment, typically within 24–48 hours for established businesses with clean credit.
Can I finance used Genie scissor lifts and boom lifts?
Yes. Used Genie equipment is among the easiest aerial lift collateral to finance because the brand's depth in the used market gives lenders excellent recovery confidence. Machines up to 10–12 years old are regularly financed by independent lenders including Beacon Capital Group, ENGS Commercial Finance, and First Western Equipment Finance. Rental companies routinely finance used Genie fleet at auction with minimal documentation. Age and hours matter — machines over 6,000 hours may require higher down payments.
How does Genie compare to JLG for financing purposes?
Genie and JLG are the two dominant aerial lift brands globally, and both receive excellent lender treatment. Genie has a slight edge in domestic brand recognition and used market liquidity in the US, particularly for scissor lifts. JLG has a strong advantage in large boom lifts (over 80 feet) where its electric and diesel models are often preferred by large rental fleets. For borrowers, both brands receive similar approval rates and loan terms — the choice should be based on equipment fit and dealer proximity, not financing considerations.
