Genie's DC models may be ideal options for optimal suitability within industrial work sites, specially when zero-emissions and low noise are required. Genie bi-energy, hybrid systems are available for applications where the machines are required to drive long-distances. These units combine the best of both worlds, using 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 models 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 input and frequency. To save unnecessary power usage that would cost your business this charging system will shut down automatically when the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models offer proportional drive and lift controls which help the operator to use precise and smooth movements and regulate the speed of each function. This ensures precise positioning with every lift. On non-jib models, the self-levelling platform rotates to 90 degrees in either direction. For jib models, the jib can rotate 80 degrees in either direction as well as 135 to 139 degrees vertically, which depends on the model 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 areas. Because of lack of tailswing, lift repositioning while rotating the turntable is not necessary. Over and up reach on these machinery is great for working in small spaces and the compact model size is ideal for when lighter weight equipment are needed.
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.
