Genie's DC units may be ideal choices for optimal suitability within industrial work sites, particularly when zero-emissions and low noise are needed. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the equipment should drive long-distances. These models combine the best of both worlds, utilizing the flexibility of diesel-powered generators and the positives of a 48V DC machine.
Genie DC units 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 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 would shut down automatically once the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models provide proportional lift and drive controls which help the user to utilize precise and smooth movements and regulate the speed of each function. This ensures precise positioning with each and every lift. On non-jib units, the self-levelling platform rotates to 90 in either direction. For jib models, the jib can rotate 80 degrees 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, depending 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 needed. Up and over reach on these types of machines is great for working in small spaces and the compact model size is ideal for when lighter weight equipment are needed.
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. Air-filled and non-marking foam tires help to increase the advantages within industrial settings.
