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