Genie's DC units can be ideal alternatives for optimal suitability in industrial work locations, particularly when low noise and zero-emissions are needed. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the machinery need to drive long-distances. These units combine the best of both worlds, utilizing the flexibility of diesel-powered generators and the positives of a 48V DC machine.
To charge the DC battery and to provide the operator with long battery life between charges, Genie DC models have systems on-board. There is also a 30 amp universal smart charger system used to charge between shifts or overnight. The smart charger system will automatically convert to the AC voltage input and frequency. To save unnecessary power usage that will cost your business this charging system would automatically shut down when the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models offer proportional drive and lift controls which help the operator to use smooth and accurate movements and regulate the speed of each and every function. This ensures accurate positioning with each lift. On non-jib units, the self-levelling platform rotates to 90 degrees in either direction. For jib models, the jib can rotate 80 in either direction as well as 135 to 139 degrees vertically, which depends on the model utilized. Working heights vary from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, depending on the model. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in confined spaces. Due to lack of tailswing, repositioning of the lift whilst rotating the turntable is not required. Up and over reach on these types of equipment is great for working in small spaces and the compact model size is perfect for when lighter weight equipment are needed.
For all-day, long-lasting performance for tough jobs, Genie machines are quick and easily maneuverable with no tailswing and the smooth ride of pneumatic tires. Air-filled and non-marking foam tires help to increase the advantages in industrial environment.
