Genie telematics connector
March 6, 2015 |
A wide range of Genie’s new aerial work platforms are now being fitted with telematics connectors as standard.
Available for the European, Middle East, African and Russian markets, the factory-installed, eight-pin telematics connector allows companies to quickly connect their own telematics systems to the Genie aerial lifts.
The company is also offering the option to incorporate its card reader security system - which uses a TrackUnit Smart ID device to read IPAF Smart PAL cards - and its track and trace system. Features include hour-meter reporting, location, machine utilisation, breakdown, failure and security functions such as geo-fencing, alarms by movement or input and remote machine disabling.
Matthew Skipworth, Genie service solutions manager EMEAR, said: “Our customers have many brands of equipment to manage and many different versions of telematics solutions. Our new telematics-ready aerial work platforms are unique in that they are the only products of their kind providing our customers the ability to manage their diverse fleets without being forced into a particular telematics solution.”
The company has said it plans for all of its aerial work platforms and telehandlers to be telematics-ready by the end of 2015. Currently its S- telescopic, Z- diesel articulating, Z-40/23 boom lifts and scissor/Runabouts lifts come with the telematics connector as standard.
