Key Features
- Genuine OEM Quality — Manufactured to Genie's original specification, delivering the correct electrical characteristics and mechanical action for a steering mode switch application.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Designed to replace the original switch in the same position, with matching connectors and mounting points for a straightforward swap.
- Broad GTH Telehandler Coverage — Fits multiple GTH series variants including the GTH-5519, GTH-2506, GTH-3007, and AU and FMS variants of those models.
- Correct Mode Selection — A properly functioning steering mode switch allows the operator to reliably select between steering modes. A failed or faulty switch can prevent mode changes, limiting machine maneuverability on the job.
- Operator Safety — Steering system controls are directly linked to safe machine handling. Using the correct OEM switch ensures the control responds as designed under all operating conditions.
The steering mode switch gives the operator control over how the telehandler's wheels steer — typically allowing selection between two-wheel, four-wheel, and crab steering modes to suit different jobsite conditions. When this switch fails or becomes intermittent, the machine may lock into a single steering mode or lose the ability to change modes altogether, restricting maneuverability and slowing work. Replacing a worn or faulty switch with the correct Genie OEM part restores full operator control and keeps the machine performing as intended.
