Genie's DC units may be ideal options for optimal suitability in industrial work sites, particularly when low noise and zero-emissions are required. Genie bi-energy, hybrid systems are available for applications where the machines are required to drive long-distances. These models combine the best of both worlds, using the flexibility of diesel-powered generators and the positives of a 48V DC equipment.
To charge the DC battery and to offer 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 used 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 would cost your business this charging system would automatically shut down once the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC units provide proportional drive and lift controls which help the operator to use accurate and smooth movements and regulate the speed of every function. This ensures accurate positioning with each lift. On non-jib models, the self-levelling platform rotates to 90 degrees 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, that depends on the unit. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in tight areas. Because of lack of tailswing, lift repositioning while the turntable is rotating is not necessary. Up and over reach on these kinds of machinery is great for working in small areas and the compact model size is ideal for when lighter weight machines are needed.
Genie models are quite easy and quick to maneuver with a smooth ride on its pneumatic tires and no tailswing to produce long-lasting performance on tough jobs. Air-filled and non-marking foam tires help to increase the advantages in industrial environment.
