Genie's DC models can be ideal alternatives for optimal suitability within industrial work locations, particularly when low noise and zero-emissions are required. Genie hybrid, bi-energy systems are available for applications where the machines 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.
To charge the DC battery and to provide the operator with long battery life between charges, Genie DC units have systems on-board. There is also a 30 amp universal smart charger system utilized to charge overnight or between shifts. The smart charger system will automatically convert to the AC voltage input and frequency. In order to save unnecessary power usage that will cost your business this charging system would automatically shut down once the battery pack has reached full charge. Genie DC models provide proportional lift and drive controls that help the user to utilize accurate and smooth movements and regulate the speed of each function. This ensures accurate positioning with each 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 five degrees to 139 degrees vertically, depending on the unit utilized. Working heights range from 12.52 meters to 15.94 meters, depending on the model. Genie DC lifts are stable when rotating the turntable in tight areas. Due to lack of tailswing, lift repositioning while rotating the turntable is not required. Over and up reach on these types of machinery is great for working in small spaces and the compact unit size is perfect for when lighter weight machinery are needed.
Genie units are fairly easy and quick to maneuver with a smooth ride on its pneumatic tires and no tailswing to produce long-lasting performance on tough jobs. Air-filled and non-marking foam tires help to increase the advantages within industrial settings.
