Genie's DC units can be perfect alternatives for optimal suitability within industrial work sites, especially when zero-emissions and low noise are needed. Genie bi-energy, hybrid systems are available for applications where the machines should 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 offer 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 overnight or between shifts. The smart charger system would automatically convert to the AC voltage frequency and input. To save unnecessary power usage which will cost your business this charging system will automatically shut down when the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models provide proportional lift and drive controls that help the operator to utilize accurate and smooth movements and regulate the speed of each function. This ensures accurate positioning with each lift. On non-jib models, 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 five degrees to 139 degrees vertically, which depends on the unit used. Working heights range from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, depending on the model. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in tight spaces. Due to lack of tailswing, lift repositioning whilst rotating the turntable is not required. Up and over reach on these kinds of machines is great for working in small spaces and the compact unit size is perfect for when lighter weight machines are needed.
Genie models are fairly 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 benefits in industrial settings.
