The Genie 96638GT is a genuine OEM Right-Side Pothole Protection Weldment designed for Genie GS series scissor lifts, specifically the ground controls side. Sourced directly from Genie, this weldment is manufactured to the exact specifications of the original component it replaces, ensuring a proper installation with no guesswork. This part fits a wide range of GS scissor lift models, including the GS-2032, GS-2632, GS-2046, GS-2646, GS-3246, GS-4047, GS-1930, GS-1932, and additional models in the GS family. Cross-reference part number 96638GT against your Genie parts manual to confirm the correct application before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Structural Integrity — Manufactured by Genie to the same weld and material specifications as the original weldment, ensuring the structural strength this safety-critical component demands.
- Ground Controls Side Fitment — Designed specifically for the right-side, ground controls side position, so this weldment drops into the correct mounting location without adaptation.
- Broad GS Series Compatibility — Fits a wide range of Genie GS scissor lifts including the GS-2032, GS-2632, GS-2046, GS-2646, GS-3246, GS-4047, GS-1930, GS-1532, and more across the GS family.
- Protects Against Drive-Over Hazards — Pothole protection guards are a critical safety system; a damaged or missing weldment leaves the machine vulnerable to tip-over risk when driving over surface openings or uneven ground.
- Safety-Critical Replacement — Pothole protection is a required safety feature on Genie scissor lifts. Replacing a damaged weldment with a genuine OEM part helps maintain the machine's designed stability and keeps it compliant with safe operating requirements.
The pothole protection weldment is a structural guard mounted to the underside chassis of a scissor lift. Its function is to prevent a drive wheel from dropping into a floor opening, floor drain, or surface depression while the platform is elevated — a scenario that can cause sudden lateral instability or tip-over. The right-side weldment, positioned on the ground controls side, works in tandem with the left-side counterpart to form a complete barrier around the machine's wheel path. When this weldment is bent, cracked, or missing, the machine loses a key layer of tip-over protection and should be removed from service until the component is restored.
