Genie's DC units could be perfect options for optimal suitability within industrial work locations, specially when zero-emissions and low noise are required. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the machines are needed to drive long-distances. These units combine the best of both worlds, making use of the flexibility of diesel-powered generators and the positives of a 48V DC machinery.
To charge the DC battery and to provide 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 utilized to charge between shifts or overnight. The smart charger system will automatically convert to the AC voltage frequency and input. In order to save unnecessary power usage which would cost your business this charging system will shut down automatically when the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models offer proportional lift and drive controls that help the operator to utilize smooth and accurate movements and regulate the speed of each and every function. This ensures precise 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 to 139 vertically, which depends on the unit 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 spaces. Due to lack of tailswing, lift repositioning whilst the turntable is rotating 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 machines are required.
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. Non-marking foam- and air-filled tires help to increase the advantages within industrial environment.
