Genie's DC units can be ideal choices for optimal suitability in industrial work sites, specially when low noise and zero-emissions are needed. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the machines are required to drive long-distances. These units combine the best of both worlds, using the flexibility of diesel-powered generators and the positives of a 48V DC machine.
Genie DC models have systems on-board to charge the battery and provide the operator with long battery life between charges. When being charged overnight or between shifts, there is a 30 amp universal smart charger system that would automatically convert to the AC voltage frequency and input. To save unnecessary power usage which will cost your business this charging system will shut down automatically once the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models provide proportional drive and lift controls which help the user to use smooth and precise movements and regulate the speed of each and every function. This ensures accurate 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 to 139 vertically, which depends on the model used. Working heights vary from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, that depends on the unit. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in tight spaces. Because of lack of tailswing, repositioning of the lift whilst the turntable is rotating is not required. Up and over reach on these kinds of machinery is great for working in small spaces and the compact unit size is perfect for when lighter weight equipment are needed.
For all-day, long-lasting 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 benefits in industrial environment.
