Transport price

How much does
elevating work platform transport?

The price of transporting a boom lift platform depends on six factors. Compact scissor lifts are easy to transport — large telescopic boom lifts are in a special category. Send model and route — price without hidden costs.

01

Platform type and class

Scissor lift up to 20 m: mass 3–8 tons, standard flatbed trailer. Articulated articulated boom lift up to 30 m: mass 8–14 tons, lowbed or step-frame. Large telescopic boom lift 30–60 m — Genie S-series, JLG 800S/1000SJ, XCMG XGS series: mass 15–30 tons, reinforced lowbed. Each class carries a significantly different cost.

02

Transport length and width

This is the most important factor for large boom lifts. Models up to 13.6 m fit on a standard trailer — e.g. The Genie SX-180 (13.0 m) fits exactly without a special solution. Models longer than 13.6 m — such as the XCMG XGS58 (14.6 m) — require an extendable trailer. Always check the transport width as well — models above 2.55 m require permits.

03

Trailer weight and type

Large telescopic boom lifts of the 55-60 m class reach a mass of 25-28 tons — above the load capacity of a standard lowbed trailer (24 tons). E.g. XCMG XGS58 is 27,900 kg, Genie SX-180 about 24,500 kg. For those models, we use a reinforced lowbed of 40–60 tons. Smaller scissor and articulated lifts: 3–14 tons, standard flatbed or step-frame.

04

Route and distance

The cost per kilometer varies by country and infrastructure costs. Platforms within standard dimensions (height ≤4 m, width ≤2.55 m) do not require special permits. For example, a Genie SX-180 with a transport width of 2.49 m passes without a width permit in most EU countries — but the overall height on the lowbed must still be checked for each route.

05

Delivery time

We organize standard transport within 24–48 hours. For urgent construction sites — pick-up within 12–24 hours for an additional fee. For platforms purchased at auction — we pick-up within the auction deadline, usually 3–7 days.

06

Pickup location

Pickup from warehouse, construction site, direct from auction (Ritchie Bros, BPI, Euro Auctions, Troostwijk, GovPlanet) or service center. We coordinate directly with the auction house.

Why it is not the same as any other transport

WHAT DOES TRANSPORTATION DO?
BOOM LIFT PLATFORMS DIFFERENT?

Five technical details every carrier needs to know — and most don't until the problem arises.

  • 1

    Some models are longer than a standard trailer

    Certain large telescopic boom lifts have a transport length of over 13.6 m — which exceeds a standard semi-trailer. The XCMG XGS58, for example, is 14.6 m in the transport position. For these models, we come with an extendable trailer. A carrier who does not check this in advance will come with the wrong vehicle.

  • 2

    Machine height + lowbed height = total height

    Large boom lifts are 3.0–3.2 m high in the transport position. On a lowbed with a platform height of 1.0 m — the total height exceeds 4.0 m. The Genie SX-180, for example, is 3.05 m — on the lowbed, the limit of 4.0 m that applies in certain EU countries is easily exceeded. Without checks and permits for each transit country — the vehicle stops.

  • 3

    The telescopic jib must be locked for transport

    Large telescopic boom lifts have a rotating jib that must be in the fully retracted and locked position for transport. A loose jib causes damage to the telescopic section during travel. Checking the condition of the jib is part of our standard procedure at every loading.

  • 4

    Mass above 24 tons — only reinforced lowbed

    Large telescopic boom lifts of the 55–60 m class reach a weight of 25–28 tons — above the load capacity of a standard lowbed trailer. XCMG XGS58 is 27,900 kg, Genie SX-180 about 24,500 kg. For those models, we must use a reinforced lowbed with a load capacity of 40-60 tons.

  • 5

    Expandable chassis must be retracted for loading

    Certain boom lifts — like the Genie SX Series with XChassis — have axles that extend for stability on the job site and must be retracted for transport. In the extended position, the machine cannot be loaded on the standard lowbed. Checking the chassis is a mandatory step before loading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you
need to know

How much does it cost to transport a Genie SX-180 from the Netherlands?
Transport Genie SX-180 (24.500 kg, transportna dužina 13 m) iz Holandije zavisi od relacije, tačne lokacije preuzimanja, dimenzija stroja i potrebne transportne opreme. Genie SX-180 u transportnom položaju je širok 2,49 m, što omogućava jednostavnije planiranje transporta u odnosu na šire vangabaritne strojeve, dok se ostali zahtjevi određuju prema konkretnoj ruti. Pošaljite upit za transport Genie SX-180 s relacijom i detaljima stroja kako bismo mogli pripremiti preciznu procjenu.
How much does XCMG XGS58E1 cost to ship?
Transport XCMG XGS58E1 (27.900 kg, transportna dužina 14,6 m) zahtijeva odgovarajuću lowbed prikolicu s dovoljnom nosivošću, a zbog transportne dužine može biti potrebna extendable prikolica. Zahtjevi transporta zavise od relacije, dimenzija stroja, potrebnih dozvola i uslova na transportnoj ruti. Pošaljite upit za transport XCMG XGS58E1 s relacijom i detaljima stroja kako bismo mogli procijeniti konkretnu organizaciju transporta.
Is a boom lift the same as a telehandler?
No — they are two completely different categories of machines. A telehandler such as a JCB 540 or Manitou MT carries the load with its forks and is used to lift material. A boom lift (elevating work platform / MEWP) such as the Genie SX-180 or XCMG XGS58 carries people in a work basket at heights of up to 60 m. The transport category is the same (both go to lowbed), but the purpose, price and handling requirements are completely different.
Does the Genie SX-180 require special permits for transportation?
In transport position, the Genie SX-180 is 13.0 m long, 2.49 m wide and 3.05 m high. The 2.49 m width is below the EU limit of 2.55 m — in most countries there is no need for a width permit. The 3.05 m height on a ~1.0 m high lowbed gives a total of ~4.05 m — close to the 4.0 m limit in some transit countries. Always check the total height (machine + lowbed platform) for each specific route.
What is the Genie XChassis and why is it important for transportation?
The XChassis is Genie's patented axle system that extends for stability on the job site and retracts for transport. In the working position, the machine is wider than the platform of the lowbed trailer — loading is physically impossible without retracting the XChassis. This is a required step before loading the SX-80, SX-105, SX-135 and SX-180 models. We always coordinate this with the machine operator or owner in advance.
How long does transport from the Netherlands to the Balkans take?
Transport from the Netherlands to Bosnia, Serbia or Croatia: 2–3 working days for platforms within standard dimensions. For models requiring permits (total height 4+ m or transport length 13.6+ m): 5–10 days total. For urgent construction sites — we organize within 24–48 hours for an additional fee.
Can the boom lift drive itself from the auction?
No — self-propelled platforms are self-propelled on the construction site, but are not allowed to drive on public roads without registration. All platforms without a valid roadworthiness certificate must be transported on a trailer. We organize loading directly at the auction location and delivery to your address.
Is the platform secured during transport?
Yes — every transport is covered by a CMR bill of lading. For new or more expensive models (Genie SX-180 new value: 700,000+ EUR, XCMG XGS58E1: 300,000+ EUR) we organize additional cargo insurance according to the declared value.
Do you carry Genie, JLG, Haulotte and XCMG rigs?
Yes — we transport all brands: Genie (Terex), JLG, Haulotte, XCMG, Manitou, Skyjack, Niftylift, Snorkel, Terex, Dingli, Sinoboom, Teupen, Hinowa, Platform Basket, Palazzani and all others. We evaluate each model according to its actual transport dimensions and weight.
Do you organize group transport using multiple scissor lifts?
Yes — scissor lifts and smaller articulated boom lifts often fit 2-4 pieces on a single flatbed trailer, depending on the model. Group transport drastically reduces the price per piece. Send a list of models and locations — we calculate the optimal schedule.
Why choose Stronmet

Common mistakes
in transport
boom lift platform

Here is what happens when you choose the wrong carrier — and how Stronmet prevents each of these problems.

✕

Wrong trailer for length and weight

The carrier delivers a standard lowbed (24t capacity) for a model weighing 27–28t — e.g. XCMG XGS58 or JLG 1850SJ. The trailer has no load capacity. Or bring a standard 13.6m trailer for a model with a length of 14-15m. Loading is not possible. The transport is delayed, the auction deadline expires.

✓

Stronmet checks dimensions and weight before arrival. Lowbed, step-frame or special platform — we choose the right trailer based on the model, not guesswork on the spot.

✕

Chassis not retracted — loading is not possible

Boom lift with extended chassis is wider than lowbed platform — loading is not physically possible. Carrier is not aware of this procedure and does not advise in advance.

✓

We are checking all the details. For all models with extendable chassis — Genie SX series, certain JLG and XCMG models — the inspection is part of standard procedure.

✕

Total height exceeds the limit — penalty

Boom lift 3.05–3.2 m high on lowbed — total can exceed 4.0–4.2 m. No height checks and permits in each transit country — vehicle stopped, fine, reorganization.

✓

We calculate everything before departure. We always calculate the total height and check the need for a permit for each route.

✕

Unexpected costs on the invoice

Agreed transport price — but the invoice arrives with “additional costs” you were not aware of. Fuel, tunnels, waiting time during loading, “administration”. The final bill is 30–50% higher.

✓

Price agreed in advance — that is the price on the invoice. No fine print, no additional costs. Everything included in the calculation is communicated to you before transport confirmation.

Stronmet eliminates each of these risks — with one single contact.
