Genie's DC models may be perfect alternatives for optimal suitability in industrial work sites, specially when low noise and zero-emissions are required. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the machines must 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 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 between shifts or overnight. The smart charger system will automatically convert to the AC voltage input and frequency. In order to save unnecessary power usage that will cost your company this charging system would shut down automatically once the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC units provide proportional drive and lift controls that help the user to utilize smooth and accurate 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, which depends 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 tight spaces. Due to lack of tailswing, lift repositioning whilst rotating the turntable is not necessary. Over and up reach on these equipment is great for working in small areas and the compact unit size is perfect for when lighter weight machinery are required.
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 benefits in industrial environment.
