Genie's DC units can be ideal choices for optimal suitability within industrial work locations, especially when low noise and zero-emissions are needed. Genie bi-energy, hybrid systems are available for applications where the equipment are needed to drive long-distances. These units combine the best of both worlds, making use of the flexibility of diesel-powered generators and the positives of a 48V DC machine.
To charge the DC battery and to offer 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 would cost your company this charging system would automatically shut down when the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models provide proportional drive and lift controls that help the user to use smooth and accurate movements and regulate the speed of each function. This ensures precise positioning with each and every lift. On non-jib units, the self-levelling platform rotates to 90 degrees in either direction. For jib models, the jib can rotate 80 degrees in either direction as well as 135 five degrees to 139 vertically, which depends on the unit used. Working heights range from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, depending on the model. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in tight spaces. Due to lack of tailswing, repositioning of the lift whilst the turntable is rotating 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.
Genie models are quite quick and easy to maneuver with a smooth ride on its pneumatic tires and no tailswing to produce long-lasting performance on tough jobs. Air-filled and non-marking foam tires help to increase the advantages within industrial environment.
