Genie's DC units may be perfect choices for optimal suitability in industrial work locations, specially when zero-emissions and low noise are required. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the equipment have 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.
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 used to charge overnight or between shifts. The smart charger system would automatically convert to the AC voltage input and frequency. In order to save unnecessary power usage which would cost your company this charging system will automatically shut down when the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC units offer proportional lift and drive controls which help the user to utilize smooth and precise movements and regulate the speed of each and 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 models, the jib can rotate 80 degrees in either direction as well as 135 to 139 degrees vertically, that depends on the model utilized. 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 spaces. Because of lack of tailswing, lift repositioning while the turntable is rotating is not needed. Up and over reach on these kinds of machinery is great for working in small areas and the compact unit size is ideal for when lighter weight machinery are needed.
Genie units 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 benefits in industrial environment.
