Genie's DC models may be ideal alternatives for optimal suitability within industrial work sites, specially when zero-emissions and low noise are required. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the equipment are required to drive long-distances. These units combine the best of both worlds, making use of 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 models 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 which would cost your company this charging system would shut down automatically when the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models provide proportional drive and lift controls which help the user to utilize precise and smooth movements and regulate the speed of every function. This ensures accurate positioning with each lift. On non-jib units, the self-levelling platform rotates to 90 degrees in either direction. For jib units, the jib can rotate 80 degrees in either direction as well as 135 five degrees to 139 vertically, depending on the unit used. Working heights range from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, depending on the unit. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in tight areas. Due to lack of tailswing, lift repositioning whilst rotating the turntable is not needed. Over and up reach on these machines is great for working in small spaces and the compact model size is ideal for when lighter weight equipment are required.
For all-day, long-lasting performance for tough jobs, Genie machinery 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 advantages within industrial settings.
