Genie's DC units may be perfect alternatives for optimal suitability within industrial work sites, specially when low noise and zero-emissions are required. Genie bi-energy, hybrid systems are available for applications where the machinery have to drive long-distances. These models combine the best of both worlds, using the flexibility of diesel-powered generators and the positives of a 48V DC equipment.
To charge the DC battery and to provide 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 utilized to charge overnight or between shifts. The smart charger system will automatically convert to the AC voltage frequency and input. To save unnecessary power usage which would cost your business this charging system would shut down automatically once the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC units offer proportional drive and lift controls that help the user to utilize smooth and accurate movements and regulate the speed of 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 in either direction as well as 135 to 139 degrees vertically, which depends on the unit used. Working heights vary from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, depending on the model. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in tight areas. Due to lack of tailswing, repositioning of the lift whilst rotating the turntable is not necessary. Over and up reach on these types of machines 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 easy and quick to maneuver with a smooth ride on its pneumatic tires and no tailswing to produce long-lasting performance on tough jobs. Non-marking foam- and air-filled tires help to increase the benefits in industrial environment.
