Genie's DC units can be perfect alternatives for optimal suitability in industrial work locations, particularly when zero-emissions and low noise are needed. Genie bi-energy, hybrid systems are available for applications where the machinery should 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.
Genie DC units have systems on-board to charge the battery and provide 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 frequency and input. To save unnecessary power usage that will cost your business this charging system would automatically shut down when the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC units provide proportional lift and drive controls which help the operator to utilize accurate and smooth movements and regulate the speed of each and every function. This ensures precise positioning with every lift. On non-jib models, the self-levelling platform rotates to 90 in either direction. For jib models, the jib can rotate 80 in either direction as well as 135 to 139 degrees vertically, which depends on the unit utilized. Working heights vary from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, depending on the model. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in confined spaces. Because of lack of tailswing, lift repositioning while the turntable is rotating is not needed. Up and over reach on these equipment is great for working in small areas and the compact unit size is ideal for when lighter weight machines are needed.
Genie models are fairly easy and quick to maneuver with no tailswing and a smooth ride on its pneumatic tires to produce long-lasting performance on tough jobs. Air-filled and non-marking foam tires help to increase the advantages in industrial environment.
