New Genie hybrid lifter
Hybrid operation allows flexible deployment
When the power management hybrid operation is selected, the system automates the charging function of the integrated generator
Genie is launching its new 69BE scissorlift in EMEAR markets, a lifter that is the next evolution of the current Genie 69 RT and DC scissor lift series. The machine is designed to appeal to rental companies by offering a wider range of on-site versatility than the DC model.
The high performance electric scissor lifts are equipped with an onboard integrated generator to charge the batteries and supply power to the platform and chassis.
They are also equipped with active front oscillating axle to improve terrainability.
“The new Genie hybrid scissor lift is a best in-class series that provides users with a true ‘start to finish’ machine,” said Mark Powell, Scissors Product Manager, Terex AWP. “In the early stages of construction, the scissor keeps itself charged and can supply full AC power when onsite power is not available. As the jobsite progresses it can switch to hybrid or electric to meet rough terrain or indoor slab environments. This type of versatility ultimately leads to higher utilisation for rental companies.”
A new series’ AC sealed electric drive motors provides full performance in both operating modes, as well as few parts when compared with a DC motor, due to a brushless design.
“They run cooler and cleaner which translates to longer life and high reliability for internal parts such as wiring, brakes and bearings,” said Powell.
The BE scissor lift series features two operating modes. When the power management hybrid operation is selected, the system automates the charging function of the integrated generator, maintaining the battery charge and allowing the operator to focus on getting the job done.
All models are also equipped with an onboard charger for wall power charging. A standard feature supplies 220 V, 2.1 kW power from the integrated generator to the platform and chassis.
The new bi-energy hybrid scissor lift series is available in 9.70m, 11.75m and 14.12,m working heights. All units provide the ability to drive at full height, on non-marking foamfilled rough terrain tires.
The machines have a rated lift capacity of 680 kg.
