Genie's DC models may be ideal options for optimal suitability in industrial work locations, particularly when zero-emissions and low noise are required. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the machinery have to drive long-distances. These models combine the best of both worlds, making use of the flexibility of diesel-powered generators and the positives of a 48V DC machine.
Genie DC units have systems on-board to charge the battery and offer the operator with long battery life between charges. When being charged between shifts or overnight, there is a 30 amp universal smart charger system which will automatically convert to the AC voltage input and frequency. To save unnecessary power usage that will cost your business this charging system will automatically shut down once the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models offer proportional lift and drive controls which help the operator to utilize smooth and accurate movements and regulate the speed of each and every 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 units, the jib can rotate 80 in either direction as well as 135 to 139 vertically, depending on the model used. Working heights vary from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, which depends on the unit. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in confined areas. Due to lack of tailswing, lift repositioning while the turntable is rotating is not needed. Over and up reach on these kinds of equipment is great for working in small areas and the compact unit size is perfect for when lighter weight equipment are needed.
Genie units are quite 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 advantages within industrial environment.
