Latest scissorlift offers performance & versatility

The Genie Bi-Energy 69 models (two operating modes) are the next evolution of the current Genie 69 RT and DC scissor lift series. Offering high levels of versatility, the high performance electric scissor lifts have an onboard integrated generator to charge the batteries and supply power to the platform and chassis. They are equipped with active front oscillating axle to improve terrainability.

The new Genie GS-2669, GS-3369 and GS-4069 BE hybrid scissor lifts will be available in EMEAR second quarter 2014.

“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 Aerial Work Platforms (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.”

The series’ AC sealed electric drive motors provide full performance in both operating modes. “Compared to DC motors, these AC motors contain fewer parts, lower maintenance due to a brushless design,” said Powell. “They run cooler and cleaner which translates to longer life and high reliability for internal parts such as wiring, brakes and bearings.”

The new bi-energy hybrid scissor lift series is available in 9.70, 11.75 and 14.12m working heights. All units provide the ability to drive at full height for efficiency and uptime.
