Genie's DC units may be ideal choices for optimal suitability in industrial work locations, especially when zero-emissions and low noise are required. Genie bi-energy, hybrid systems are available for applications where the machines must drive long-distances. These units combine the best of both worlds, making use of the flexibility of diesel-powered generators and the positives of a 48V DC machinery.
Genie DC units have systems on-board to charge the battery and provide the operator with long battery life between charges. When being charged between shifts or overnight, there is a 30 amp universal smart charger system which will automatically convert to the AC voltage frequency and input. To save unnecessary power usage which would cost your business this charging system would automatically shut down once the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models provide proportional drive and lift controls that help the user to utilize smooth and precise movements and regulate the speed of every function. This ensures precise positioning with each and every lift. On non-jib units, the self-levelling platform rotates to 90 degrees in either direction. For jib units, the jib can rotate 80 degrees in either direction as well as 135 to 139 degrees vertically, which depends on the model used. Working heights vary from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, which depends on the unit. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in confined spaces. Due to lack of tailswing, repositioning of the lift while rotating the turntable 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 ideal for when lighter weight machines are required.
Genie units are quite 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 benefits within industrial settings.
