Genie's DC models may be ideal alternatives for optimal suitability within industrial work locations, specially when low noise and zero-emissions are required. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the machinery should drive long-distances. These models combine the best of both worlds, making use of the positives of a 48V DC equipment and the flexibility of diesel-powered generators.
Genie DC units 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 which will automatically convert to the AC voltage input and frequency. In order to save unnecessary power usage which will cost your business this charging system will automatically shut down when the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models provide proportional lift and drive controls which 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 models, the self-levelling platform rotates to 90 degrees in either direction. For jib units, the jib can rotate 80 in either direction as well as 135 five degrees to 139 degrees vertically, depending on the model used. Working heights range from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, depending 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 required. Up and over reach on these machines is great for working in small areas and the compact model size is ideal for when lighter weight machinery are required.
For long-lasting, all-day performance for tough jobs, Genie machinery are easily maneuverable and quick with no tailswing and the smooth ride of pneumatic tires. Non-marking foam- and air-filled tires help to increase the advantages within industrial environment.
