Genie's DC models can be perfect alternatives for optimal suitability in industrial work sites, particularly when zero-emissions and low noise are required. Genie bi-energy, hybrid systems are available for applications where the machinery have to drive long-distances. These units combine the best of both worlds, using the positives of a 48V DC machinery 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 between shifts or overnight, there is a 30 amp universal smart charger system that will automatically convert to the AC voltage frequency and input. 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 models offer proportional lift and drive controls which help the operator to use smooth and accurate movements and regulate the speed of every function. This ensures accurate positioning with each and every lift. On non-jib models, 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, which depends on the model utilized. Working heights vary from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, depending on the model. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in tight spaces. Due to lack of tailswing, lift repositioning whilst rotating the turntable is not needed. Over and up reach on these kinds of machines is great for working in small spaces and the compact unit size is ideal for when lighter weight machinery are required.
Genie models are quite quick and easy to maneuver with no tailswing and a smooth ride on its pneumatic tires to produce long-lasting performance on tough jobs. Air-filled and non-marking foam tires help to increase the advantages in industrial environment.
