Genie's DC models may be ideal options for optimal suitability within industrial work locations, especially when low noise and zero-emissions are needed. Genie bi-energy, hybrid systems are available for applications where the machinery must drive long-distances. These units combine the best of both worlds, using the flexibility of diesel-powered generators and the positives of a 48V DC equipment.
Genie DC models have systems on-board to charge the battery and offer 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. In order to save unnecessary power usage that would cost your business this charging system will automatically shut down once the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC units provide proportional lift and drive controls which help the operator to utilize smooth and precise movements and regulate the speed of every function. This ensures accurate 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, depending 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 confined spaces. Due to lack of tailswing, repositioning of the lift whilst rotating the turntable is not needed. Up and over reach on these types of equipment is great for working in small spaces and the compact model size is ideal for when lighter weight equipment are required.
Genie units 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. Non-marking foam- and air-filled tires help to increase the benefits in industrial environment.
