Genie's DC units can be ideal alternatives for optimal suitability in industrial work sites, especially 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 models combine the best of both worlds, utilizing the positives of a 48V DC equipment and the flexibility of diesel-powered generators.
Genie DC models 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 that would automatically convert to the AC voltage input and frequency. In order to save unnecessary power usage which would cost your business this charging system would 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 precise and smooth movements and regulate the speed of every function. This ensures precise positioning with each and every lift. On non-jib units, 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 five degrees to 139 degrees vertically, which depends on the unit utilized. Working heights range from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, that depends on the unit. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in confined areas. Due to lack of tailswing, repositioning of the lift whilst rotating the turntable is not required. Over and up reach on these machines is great for working in small spaces and the compact unit size is ideal for when lighter weight equipment are required.
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. Non-marking foam- and air-filled tires help to increase the advantages within industrial environment.
