Genie's DC models may be perfect options for optimal suitability within industrial work locations, particularly when zero-emissions and low noise are required. Genie bi-energy, hybrid systems are available for applications where the equipment must drive long-distances. These units combine the best of both worlds, using the positives of a 48V DC machine 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 used to charge overnight or between shifts. The smart charger system will automatically convert to the AC voltage input and frequency. In order to save unnecessary power usage that would 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 which help the operator to use smooth and precise 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 units, the jib can rotate 80 degrees in either direction as well as 135 five degrees to 139 degrees vertically, that depends on the model used. 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 confined areas. Because of lack of tailswing, repositioning of the lift whilst rotating the turntable is not required. Up and over reach on these kinds of machines is great for working in small spaces and the compact unit size is perfect for when lighter weight machinery are required.
For all-day, long-lasting performance for tough jobs, Genie equipment are easily maneuverable and quick with the smooth ride of pneumatic tires and no tailswing. Non-marking foam- and air-filled tires help to increase the benefits within industrial settings.
