Genie's DC models could be ideal choices for optimal suitability within industrial work sites, especially when low noise and zero-emissions are needed. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the machinery are required 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 machinery.
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 input and frequency. In order to save unnecessary power usage that would cost your company this charging system would shut down automatically once the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models offer proportional drive and lift controls that help the operator to use precise and smooth movements and regulate the speed of every function. This ensures precise positioning with each lift. On non-jib units, the self-levelling platform rotates to 90 degrees in either direction. For jib models, the jib can rotate 80 degrees in either direction as well as 135 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 while the turntable is rotating is not needed. Over and up reach on these types of machines is great for working in small areas and the compact unit size is ideal for when lighter weight machines are required.
For long-lasting, all-day performance for tough jobs, Genie machines are easily maneuverable and quick with the smooth ride of pneumatic tires and no tailswing. Air-filled and non-marking foam tires help to increase the advantages within industrial settings.
