Genie's DC units may be perfect alternatives for optimal suitability within industrial work sites, especially when low noise and zero-emissions are needed. Genie bi-energy, hybrid systems are available for applications where the equipment need 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.
Genie DC units have systems on-board to charge the battery and provide the operator with long battery life between charges. When being charged between shifts or overnight, there is a 30 amp universal smart charger system which will automatically convert to the AC voltage input and frequency. In order to save unnecessary power usage that would cost your business this charging system would automatically shut down once the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC units provide proportional lift and drive controls that help the operator to utilize smooth and accurate movements and regulate the speed of every function. This ensures accurate 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 degrees in either direction as well as 135 to 139 vertically, depending on the model used. Working heights vary from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, that depends on the unit. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in tight areas. Due to lack of tailswing, repositioning of the lift while the turntable is rotating is not necessary. Up and over reach on these kinds of machinery is great for working in small spaces and the compact model size is ideal for when lighter weight machines are needed.
For all-day, long-lasting performance for tough jobs, Genie equipment are easily maneuverable and quick with no tailswing and the smooth ride of pneumatic tires. Non-marking foam- and air-filled tires help to increase the benefits in industrial settings.
