Advantage of Genie gs-1930

Eco-Friendly Electrical Operation

Genie GS-1930 can be used outdoors, but the fact it is operated using only electricity makes it perfect for indoor work sites because of its zero emissions. Your health comes in the first place. 

GS-1930 doesn’t make a lot of noise while operating to keep noise levels down in places like schools and hospitals. 

It runs on 24V DC, and to be more specific, it runs on four 6V 225 Ah batteries charged with a universal 20 amp smart charger. And of course it runs on a hydraulic system with a 3.8-gallon capacity.

  

Platform Roll-Out Extension

The platform length when ready to go is 5 feet and 4 inches, but it also has a foot-assisted roll-out extension ( which outperforms the regular pins in other scissor lifts ) giving you an extra 35.83 inches for mor horizontal reach.

You’ll have a lot more room to move around and you’ll be able to reach things without moving the scissor left, and ofcourse you can retract it into itself neatly to store it and move it around. 

The safety railings will also cover the full length of the platform when it’s extended, so you will never be worry about anything while going to reach something without moving the scissor lift.

Speeding Up And Slowing Down

In GS-1930, there are a couple of safety features built into the equipment in order to control its speed. It is hard to drive to cut spaces when you are up in the air, but it has a drive speed interlock which will put a limit on how fast you can go when you are elevated to 0.8 km/h. 

It is also has multiple disc brakes built into the base of the electric scissor lift to provide a smoother deceleration. No matter whether you are speeding up or slowing down, there are safety features there to keep you and your stuff as safe as possible.

It’s Easy To Drive Around

Genie GS-1930 has more than a few features to help you drive around, so we’ll talk about them all at the same time. It has a zero inside turning radius, which means it could potentially turn around in circles without moving forward even a little. 

The outside turn radius sits at 5 feet and 1 inch, plus the dual front wheel driving system makes it a lot easier to maneuver around carefully without touching anything. 

You can obviously drive from the top or bottom, and there is an emergency stop button on platform and base control panel. As well as an indicator to show you how much battery life you have in the scissor lift, the joystick on the platform control panel will let you steer it with ease just using your thumb.

Gradeability

Genie GS-1930 is designed for level surface using, but also you can drive it in a gradient of up to 25 degrees. This makes it very handy when you are moving it around because if you have a ramp it can easily be driven up and down it, and when it is time to load up the slab scissor lift to take to your next job storing it will not a problem. 

If you have to drive up ramps to enter buildings 25 degrees of gradeability opens it up to a wider number of places to be used in. 

As long as the gradient isn’t more than 25 degrees the wheels will be locked and secured so it will be stable and it won’t move. And thanks to its solid wheels, which have non-marking tires meaning it will not damage any floors.

Easy to maintenance

Now, you are probably wondering how to maintain it like any other equipment. GS-1930 comes with great onboard diagnostics designed to help you troubleshoot problems easily, it is very simple. 

If it breaks you might need to call someone out to fix it or you will find out later on the team at Genie will be there to help you.

Finally

GS-1930 electric scissor lift can be controlled from either the ground or platform and has a battery charge indicator as well as an onboard diagnostic display for troubleshooting. It also has an emergency stop button, a decent alarm, an electronic horn, and a manual platform lowering valve for safety.

As long as you use scissors lifts correctly they’re also the safest way to reach great heights.

Let's pull it together, Genie gs-1930:

• Can be controlled from the ground or the platform.
• HAS an emergency stop button on both control panels
• Slip-resistant platform with folding rails
• Top speed of 0.8 km/h when elevated
• A decent alarm and electronic horn
• Manual platform lowering valve in case you get stuck
• Zero emissions and a low noise level
• Pothole guards and a tilt alarm
• Dual flashing beacons to alert people of your presence
• Proportional lifting so you can’t topple over
• Multiple disc brakes for smooth deceleration
• Solid non-marking tires with great brakes

The major disadvantage of the Genie GS-1930 is the working height because if you need to reach heights over 25-feet you’ll not be able to get to them safely, but you just have to get a bigger one.
