Key Features
- Genuine OEM Specification — manufactured to Genie's original design tolerances, delivering the correct sensing range and output signal required for proper machine operation.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — matches the original mounting configuration and electrical connector, allowing a straightforward swap with no adaptation.
- Verified Telehandler Fitment — confirmed for the GTH-3512 ACF and GTH-3713 SX, keeping replacement simple and accurate for these machines.
- Consistent Detection Performance — a properly functioning proximity switch provides accurate position or presence detection, supporting correct machine response; a failed switch can cause erratic behavior or prevent normal operation.
- OEM Parts Traceability — sourced directly through the Genie OEM supply chain, so the part number is fully traceable and backed by genuine manufacturer support.
A proximity switch detects the presence or position of a component without physical contact, sending an electrical signal to the machine's control system when a target enters its sensing range. On telehandlers, these switches are used to monitor boom or attachment positions, enabling the machine's control logic to enforce operating limits and respond correctly to movement. When a proximity switch fails or drifts out of calibration, the machine may receive incorrect position data, leading to unexpected stops, error codes, or restricted function — making timely replacement with the correct OEM part essential to keeping the machine operating as intended.
