Genie's DC units may be perfect alternatives for optimal suitability in industrial work sites, especially when low noise and zero-emissions are required. 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 positives of a 48V DC equipment and the flexibility of diesel-powered generators.
Genie DC models have systems on-board to charge the battery and provide the operator with long battery life between charges. When being charged overnight or between shifts, there is a 30 amp universal smart charger system that would automatically convert to the AC voltage input and frequency. To save unnecessary power usage which will cost your company this charging system will automatically shut down once the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models offer proportional lift and drive controls which help the operator to use precise and smooth 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 units, the jib can rotate 80 degrees in either direction as well as 135 to 139 degrees vertically, which depends 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. Due to lack of tailswing, lift repositioning whilst rotating the turntable is not needed. Up and over reach on these types of machinery is great for working in small spaces and the compact unit size is perfect for when lighter weight machines are required.
For long-lasting, all-day performance for tough jobs, Genie machinery are quick and easily maneuverable with no tailswing and the smooth ride of pneumatic tires. Air-filled and non-marking foam tires help to increase the advantages within industrial settings.
