DC batteries with 3-phase AC drive motors for boom lift quiet

Our electric and hybrid-powered boom lifts provide the obvious benefits: Energy efficiency, quiet operation, lower weight and lower cost. Industrial applications where the machines must be driven significant distances, the Genie FE hybrid system combines the benefits of a 48V DC machine with the power.

Several models feature a 48V DC electric drive system, which can be freely used in areas where quiet, emission-free operation is important. The Genie Z-40/23N model was the first in the industry to feature an AC drive system, which combines DC batteries with 3-phase AC drive motors for boom lift quiet, more energy efficient operation and longer battery life. This advanced system yields better drive speed and grade-ability, and the drive wheels work independently for excellent traction control. This system is also found on the Genie Z-33/18 boom.

Feel about alternatively powered booms. The market is looking for cleaner, greener and quieter equipment in the field, especially for indoor applications, and Genie has responded. These models offer ideal up and over reach in confined work spaces. Zero tails-wing means there’s no need to reposition the lift when rotating the turntable in crowded areas. And, the compact size suits applications where a lower machine weight is needed.

High performance, high efficiency and low emissions, Genie hybrid boom lift rental use an environmentally-friendly, fully compliant engine-powered generator to maintain the battery state of charge or to supplement the battery power to get a boost in machine performance. Constantly monitoring the state of the battery, our hybrid technology maximizes run time and minimizes fuel consumption.

Lift and drive controls allow precise positioning of the boom

The lightweight electric Genie Z™-33/18 boom lift is highly maneuverable and well-suited to tasks on sensitive surfaces such as in airports, shopping centers and theaters where space is restricted, plus routine outdoor maintenance tasks. It was designed from the ground up to combine lightweight, compact dimensions with powerful low-consumption motors, shorter ground-to-top lifting time with the Genie Fast Mast™ boom system, plus improved ergonomic features and easy-to-access machine components to speed up troubleshooting and servicing.

The self-leveling platform of our Genie Z™-30 and Z-34 models rotates 90° to either side, while the jib boom moves 130° to 139° vertically, depending on the model. The 4 ft (1.22 m) jib moves horizontally 180° on rotating jib models for extra working range. Proportional controls allow you to control the speed of each function and make smooth, precise adjustments in tight areas.

Proportional lift and drive controls allow precise positioning of the boom and smooth drive performance. For added flexibility, the energy-saving Genie Z-40/23N boom lift control system allows efficient operation of multiple functions at the same time which allows you to get the job done faster.

The electric boom line includes a variety of narrow models ideal for the tight and confined work areas. These compact designs feature a tight turning radius with zero tails-wing on most models for easy maneuvering through narrow aisles and standard doors.
