Genie's DC units may be ideal choices for optimal suitability in industrial work sites, particularly when low noise and zero-emissions are needed. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the machinery need to drive long-distances. These models combine the best of both worlds, utilizing the flexibility of diesel-powered generators and the positives of a 48V DC machine.
Genie DC units 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 which would automatically convert to the AC voltage input and frequency. In order to save unnecessary power usage that will cost your company this charging system will automatically shut down once the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC units offer proportional lift and drive controls that help the user to utilize accurate and smooth movements and regulate the speed of every function. This ensures precise positioning with every lift. On non-jib units, 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 five degrees 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 confined spaces. Because of lack of tailswing, repositioning of the lift whilst rotating the turntable is not necessary. Over and up reach on these types of machinery is great for working in small spaces and the compact unit size is ideal for when lighter weight equipment are required.
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. Non-marking foam- and air-filled tires help to increase the benefits within industrial settings.
