Genie's DC units may be ideal choices for optimal suitability in industrial work locations, particularly when zero-emissions and low noise are required. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the machines should 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 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 between shifts or overnight, there is a 30 amp universal smart charger system which will automatically convert to the AC voltage frequency and input. In order to save unnecessary power usage which will cost your business this charging system would shut down automatically when the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC units offer proportional drive and lift controls which help the operator to use smooth and precise movements and regulate the speed of each and every function. This ensures precise 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 degrees in either direction as well as 135 to 139 vertically, that depends on the model utilized. Working heights range from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, depending on the unit. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in confined areas. 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 unit size is ideal for when lighter weight machines are needed.
For all-day, long-lasting performance for tough jobs, Genie machines are quick and easily maneuverable with the smooth ride of pneumatic tires and no tailswing. Air-filled and non-marking foam tires help to increase the advantages in industrial settings.
