Genie's DC units could be ideal alternatives for optimal suitability within industrial work sites, particularly when zero-emissions and low noise are needed. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the machines need to drive long-distances. These units combine the best of both worlds, utilizing the flexibility of diesel-powered generators and the positives of a 48V DC machinery.
Genie DC models have systems on-board to charge the battery and offer the operator with long battery life between charges. When being charged between shifts or overnight, there is a 30 amp universal smart charger system that 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 would shut down automatically when the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models offer proportional lift and drive controls that help the user to use accurate and smooth movements and regulate the speed of each and every function. This ensures accurate positioning with each lift. On non-jib units, 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 degrees vertically, depending on the unit utilized. Working heights vary from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, that depends on the model. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in confined areas. Because of lack of tailswing, lift repositioning whilst the turntable is rotating is not required. Up and over reach on these kinds of equipment is great for working in small areas and the compact unit size is ideal for when lighter weight equipment are required.
Genie models 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 advantages in industrial environment.
