Key Features
- Genuine OEM Specification — Manufactured to exact OEM standards, this sensor meets the detection and output requirements of the original part, not a close approximation.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to match the original mounting configuration and electrical connections, this sensor installs without modification to brackets or wiring harnesses.
- Confirmed Fitment for Key GTH Models — Verified for the GTH-5519, GTH-1256, and GTH-1544 Genie telehandlers, covering multiple high-capacity models in the GTH series.
- Restores Rear Detection Function — A failed or faulty proximity sensor can disable the machine's rear alarm system entirely, leaving operators without a critical proximity warning. Replacing it with this OEM sensor restores full detection capability.
- Operator Safety — The rear proximity alarm system alerts operators and ground personnel to objects or people behind the machine during travel. A functioning sensor is essential to maintaining that warning capability on active job sites.
A rear proximity alarm sensor detects objects or personnel in the travel path behind the machine and triggers an audible or visual alarm to warn the operator and nearby workers. On large telehandlers like the GTH series, where rear sightlines can be limited, this sensor plays a direct role in safe machine operation. When the sensor degrades or fails, the alarm system may not activate reliably — or at all — making prompt replacement with the correct OEM component the right course of action.
