Genie's DC units may be perfect choices for optimal suitability in industrial work sites, particularly when zero-emissions and low noise are required. Genie bi-energy, hybrid systems are available for applications where the machines must drive long-distances. These models combine the best of both worlds, utilizing the positives of a 48V DC machine and the flexibility of diesel-powered generators.
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 would automatically convert to the AC voltage input and frequency. In order to save unnecessary power usage that will cost your business this charging system would shut down automatically when the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models offer proportional drive and lift controls that help the user to use smooth and accurate movements and regulate the speed of every function. This ensures accurate positioning with 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 utilized. Working heights range from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, which depends on the unit. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in tight spaces. Due to lack of tailswing, repositioning of the lift whilst rotating the turntable is not needed. Up and over reach on these kinds of equipment is great for working in small spaces and the compact model size is perfect for when lighter weight machinery are needed.
Genie models are fairly quick and easy to maneuver with a smooth ride on its pneumatic tires and no tailswing to produce long-lasting performance on tough jobs. Non-marking foam- and air-filled tires help to increase the advantages in industrial settings.
