Key Features
- Genuine OEM Quality — Manufactured to Genie's original electrical and dimensional specifications, ensuring correct output response and consistent sensing performance for this switch type.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Designed to drop into the original mounting position on the GTH-3713 AU, with no adaptation needed to the existing wiring or bracket.
- Correct Fitment for GTH-3713 AU — Confirmed compatibility with the Genie GTH-3713 AU telehandler; verify part number 56.0012.0017GT against your serial number in the parts manual before ordering.
- Sensing Reliability — A fully functioning proximity switch detects position or presence accurately, keeping machine functions responsive. A failed or drifting switch can cause incorrect readings and prevent normal operation.
- Operational Safety — Proximity switches on telehandlers are often tied to position-sensing functions critical to safe machine operation; replacing a worn or failed unit with a genuine OEM part helps maintain correct system behavior.
A proximity switch is a non-contact sensor that detects the presence or position of a component without physical touch. On a telehandler such as the GTH-3713 AU, proximity switches are used to monitor the position of booms, attachments, or other moving assemblies, feeding that information to the machine's control system. When a proximity switch fails or gives an inaccurate signal, the machine may behave unpredictably or restrict certain functions as a protective measure — making prompt replacement with the correct OEM part essential to restoring normal operation.
