Genie's DC models may be ideal alternatives for optimal suitability in industrial work locations, particularly when low noise and zero-emissions are required. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the machines are needed to drive long-distances. These models combine the best of both worlds, making use of the flexibility of diesel-powered generators and the positives of a 48V DC machine.
To charge the DC battery and to offer the operator with long battery life between charges, Genie DC units 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 will automatically convert to the AC voltage frequency and input. In order to save unnecessary power usage that will cost your company this charging system would automatically shut down once the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC units offer proportional drive and lift controls which help the operator to use precise and smooth movements and regulate the speed of each and every function. This ensures accurate positioning with each 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 used. Working heights range from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, which depends on the unit. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in tight areas. Because of lack of tailswing, lift repositioning whilst rotating the turntable is not needed. Up and over reach on these machines is great for working in small areas and the compact model size is perfect for when lighter weight machines are required.
For all-day, long-lasting performance for tough jobs, Genie machinery are easily maneuverable and quick with the smooth ride of pneumatic tires and no tailswing. Non-marking foam- and air-filled tires help to increase the benefits within industrial environment.
