Genie's DC models can be ideal options for optimal suitability in industrial work sites, specially when zero-emissions and low noise are needed. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the machinery must 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 machine.
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 overnight or between shifts. The smart charger system would automatically convert to the AC voltage frequency and input. In order to save unnecessary power usage that will cost your company this charging system will shut down automatically when the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC units provide proportional drive and lift controls which help the operator to use smooth and precise movements and regulate the speed of every function. This ensures precise positioning with every lift. On non-jib models, the self-levelling platform rotates to 90 in either direction. For jib units, the jib can rotate 80 in either direction as well as 135 five degrees to 139 vertically, depending 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 confined spaces. Because of lack of tailswing, lift repositioning while rotating the turntable is not required. Up and over reach on these types of equipment is great for working in small spaces and the compact model size is perfect for when lighter weight machinery are needed.
For long-lasting, all-day performance for tough jobs, Genie machinery are easily maneuverable and quick with no tailswing and the smooth ride of pneumatic tires. Air-filled and non-marking foam tires help to increase the benefits within industrial settings.
