Genie's DC units may be perfect alternatives for optimal suitability in industrial work sites, particularly when zero-emissions and low noise are needed. Genie bi-energy, hybrid systems are available for applications where the machinery should drive long-distances. These units combine the best of both worlds, using the positives of a 48V DC equipment and the flexibility of diesel-powered generators.
Genie DC models 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 would cost your business this charging system will shut down automatically when the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models offer proportional lift and drive controls which 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 models, the self-levelling platform rotates to 90 in either direction. For jib units, the jib can rotate 80 in either direction as well as 135 to 139 degrees vertically, that depends on the unit used. 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 spaces. Because of lack of tailswing, repositioning of the lift while the turntable is rotating is not needed. Over and up reach on these kinds of equipment is great for working in small areas and the compact model size is ideal for when lighter weight equipment are required.
Genie units are fairly easy and quick to maneuver with a smooth ride on its pneumatic tires and no tailswing to produce long-lasting performance on tough jobs. Non-marking foam- and air-filled tires help to increase the advantages in industrial settings.
