The Genie 49870GT is a genuine OEM Potentiometer (24493) built for Genie telescopic and articulating boom lifts, including the S-80, S-85, S-60, S-65, and Z-60/34. As a factory-original component, this part meets Genie's exact specifications for correct sensor output and reliable position feedback. It is a direct OEM replacement that installs into the machine without modification, ensuring the control system receives accurate readings. Cross-reference part number 49870GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm this is the correct component for your specific unit.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Electrical Conformity — Manufactured to Genie's exact resistance and output specifications, ensuring the potentiometer delivers the signal accuracy the control system depends on.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Engineered to match the original mounting configuration and connector interface, so this component installs in place of the failed unit without rework.
- Broad Boom Lift Fitment — Compatible with Genie S-80, S-85, S-60, and S-65 telescopic booms and the Z-60/34 articulating boom lift; always verify against your serial number in the parts manual.
- Accurate Position Sensing — A correctly functioning potentiometer provides precise feedback on boom angle or position, allowing the control system to manage machine movement safely and accurately. A worn or failed unit can cause erratic control response or trigger fault codes.
- Operational Safety — On aerial boom lifts, accurate sensor output is directly tied to safe platform positioning. Replacing a faulty potentiometer with the correct OEM part restores the integrity of the machine's position-sensing circuit.
A potentiometer is an electromechanical sensor that measures the angular or linear position of a moving component and converts that movement into an electrical signal the machine's control system can read. On Genie boom lifts, potentiometers are used to track boom angle, elevation, or extension, feeding real-time position data to the controls so the machine operates within its designed parameters. When a potentiometer wears out or fails, the control system loses accurate position information, which can result in sluggish or unpredictable boom movement, fault codes, or a machine that will not function at all. Replacing this component with a genuine OEM part restores the correct signal output and gets the machine back to proper working order.
