Genie's DC units can be perfect options for optimal suitability in industrial work locations, particularly when zero-emissions and low noise are needed. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the equipment need to drive long-distances. These units combine the best of both worlds, utilizing the positives of a 48V DC equipment and the flexibility of diesel-powered generators.
To charge the DC battery and to provide the operator with long battery life between charges, Genie DC models have systems on-board. There is also a 30 amp universal smart charger system used to charge between shifts or overnight. The smart charger system would automatically convert to the AC voltage frequency and input. In order to save unnecessary power usage that will cost your company this charging system will shut down automatically once the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models offer proportional drive and lift controls that help the user to utilize smooth and accurate movements and regulate the speed of every function. This ensures accurate positioning with each and every 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 range 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. Due to lack of tailswing, lift repositioning whilst the turntable is rotating is not necessary. Up and over reach on these machines is great for working in small areas and the compact unit size is perfect for when lighter weight machinery are needed.
For long-lasting, all-day performance for tough jobs, Genie machinery are quick and easily maneuverable with the smooth ride of pneumatic tires and no tailswing. Non-marking foam- and air-filled tires help to increase the benefits in industrial environment.
