Genie's DC models may be perfect alternatives for optimal suitability within industrial work locations, specially when zero-emissions and low noise are required. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the equipment should 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 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 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 would shut down automatically when the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models offer proportional drive and lift controls that help the operator to use accurate and smooth movements and regulate the speed of every function. This ensures accurate positioning with 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 five degrees to 139 vertically, which depends on the unit used. Working heights vary from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, which 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 necessary. Over and up reach on these kinds of machinery is great for working in small spaces and the compact model size is perfect for when lighter weight machinery are required.
Genie models are fairly 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 benefits in industrial environment.
