The Genie 236396GT Cable Tension Switch Assembly #2 is a genuine OEM component built for Genie SX-150 and SX-180 super-boom telescopic lifts. As an OEM part sourced directly through Genie's supply chain, it is manufactured to the same specifications as the original component installed at the factory. Cross-reference part number 236396GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct item for your unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to OEM specification, ensuring dimensional and electrical conformity with the original switch assembly.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Designed to drop into the existing mounting location on SX-150 and SX-180 machines, connecting to the original harness and hardware without modification.
- Correct Fitment for SX Super-Booms — Confirmed for Genie SX-150 and SX-180 telescopic boom lifts, among the tallest in the Genie range.
- Safety-Critical Function — Cable tension switches monitor cable condition and machine state on boom lifts; a failed or degraded switch can trigger false faults or allow operation outside safe parameters, making prompt replacement with the correct OEM part essential.
- Verified Part Identification — Always confirm 236396GT against your serial-number-specific parts manual, as super-boom models may carry more than one cable tension switch assembly.
A cable tension switch assembly monitors the tension state of a cable on the boom system, signaling to the machine's control circuit whether tension is within an acceptable range. When the switch functions correctly, the machine can accurately detect a slack or over-tensioned condition and respond appropriately to protect the operator and the equipment. A worn, damaged, or failed switch assembly can produce erroneous signals, trigger unnecessary fault shutdowns, or — more critically — fail to detect an out-of-tolerance condition, making it important to replace this component with the correct OEM part as soon as a fault is identified.
