Genie's DC units can be ideal options for optimal suitability in industrial work locations, especially when zero-emissions and low noise are needed. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the machinery are needed to drive long-distances. These models combine the best of both worlds, using the positives of a 48V DC equipment and the flexibility of diesel-powered generators.
To charge the DC battery and to offer 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. To save unnecessary power usage that will cost your company this charging system will automatically shut down once the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models provide proportional lift and drive controls that help the operator to utilize smooth and precise movements and regulate the speed of every function. This ensures accurate positioning with each and every lift. On non-jib units, 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 degrees vertically, depending on the unit utilized. Working heights vary from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, depending on the unit. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in tight spaces. Because of lack of tailswing, repositioning of the lift whilst rotating the turntable is not needed. Over and up reach on these kinds of machines is great for working in small spaces and the compact model size is perfect 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. Air-filled and non-marking foam tires help to increase the benefits within industrial settings.
