The Genie 56.0012.0047GT is a genuine OEM Proximity Switch designed for Genie GTH-1544 and GTH-1256 telehandlers. Sourced directly from Genie, this switch meets the same specifications as the original component installed at the factory. Confirm part number 56.0012.0047GT against your machine's parts manual to ensure it is the correct switch for your unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Built to the same dimensional and electrical tolerances as the original switch, ensuring consistent detection performance and a correct interface with the machine's control circuit.
- Direct Bolt-In Replacement — Matches the mounting configuration and connector of the original, allowing for a straightforward swap without modification.
- Confirmed Fitment — Verified for Genie GTH-1544 and GTH-1256 telehandlers. Always cross-reference part number 56.0012.0047GT with your serial-number-specific parts manual before ordering.
- Accurate Position Sensing — A correctly functioning proximity switch delivers reliable signal output for the machine's position or status detection logic. A failed switch can produce false readings or no signal, affecting machine response and operational accuracy.
- Operational Safety — Proximity switches on aerial and telehandler equipment are often integrated into safety-related detection circuits. Using a genuine OEM part helps ensure the switch performs within the design parameters the machine relies on.
A proximity switch is a non-contact sensor that detects the presence or position of a component without physical touch, sending an electrical signal to the machine's control system. On telehandlers such as the GTH-1544 and GTH-1256, these sensors are used to monitor the position of moving parts and feed that information to the controls. When a proximity switch fails or drifts out of spec, the machine may receive incorrect position data, which can affect how it operates and responds — making timely replacement with the correct OEM part essential.
