Genie's DC models could be ideal alternatives for optimal suitability within industrial work locations, specially when zero-emissions and low noise are needed. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the machinery should drive long-distances. These models combine the best of both worlds, utilizing the positives of a 48V DC equipment and the flexibility of diesel-powered generators.
Genie DC units have systems on-board to charge the battery and offer 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 would automatically convert to the AC voltage frequency and input. To save unnecessary power usage which would cost your company this charging system will shut down automatically when the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC units 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 and every lift. On non-jib units, the self-levelling platform rotates to 90 degrees in either direction. For jib models, the jib can rotate 80 in either direction as well as 135 to 139 vertically, depending on the unit used. Working heights range from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, depending on the unit. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in tight areas. Because of lack of tailswing, repositioning of the lift while the turntable is rotating is not necessary. Over and up reach on these kinds of machinery is great for working in small spaces and the compact unit size is ideal for when lighter weight machinery 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. Non-marking foam- and air-filled tires help to increase the advantages within industrial settings.
