The Genie Limit Switch Assembly (Part #96948 and 96948GT) is a critical safety and operational component designed for
several Genie scissor lift models. This assembly is responsible for
preventing the scissor lift from over-raising or exceeding its
designed height, thereby protecting the machine's structure and
ensuring operator safety.
Key Features & Specifications
Genuine Genie Part: This is an official Genie OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
part, guaranteeing perfect fit, function, and reliability.
Part Number Variants:
96948: The standard part number.
96948GT: Often denotes a kit or package that may include the switch,
mounting hardware, and actuator arm, making installation easier.
The "GT" suffix is common in Genie parts.
Function: This is a normally closed (NC) mechanical limit switch. It is part of the lift's safety circuit.
When the lift reaches its maximum allowed height, the switch's
actuator arm is triggered, opening the circuit and cutting power to
the lift function, preventing further ascent.
Durable Construction: Built to withstand the harsh conditions of construction and
industrial sites, including vibration, dust, and temperature
variations.
Core Function & Importance
The primary purpose of this limit switch is overload and over-height protection. Its applications are vital for:
Machine Safety:
Preventing Structural Damage: It stops the scissor lift from raising beyond its mechanical
limits, which could cause catastrophic damage to the scissor
stacks, hydraulic cylinders, or other components.
Ensuring Stability: Over-raising a scissor lift can dangerously shift its center of
gravity, increasing the risk of tipping. This switch mitigates that
risk.
Operator Safety:
System Integration:
Compatibility & Models
This specific part number is designed for use in the following
Genie scissor lift models:
Genie GR-08
Genie GR-12
Genie GR-15
Genie GR-20
Genie GRC-12
It is crucial to verify your machine's model and serial number
before ordering, as using an incorrect safety component can be
hazardous.
Symptoms of a Failing Limit Switch
You may need to replace this assembly if you encounter the
following issues:
The scissor lift will not raise at all (the most common symptom).
The lift stops raising before reaching its full height.
The lift raises intermittently.
Visible damage to the switch housing, actuator arm, or wiring is present.
The machine fails a routine safety inspection due to an inoperative
height limit function.
Why Choose a Genie OEM Limit Switch?
Assured Safety: Safety components should never be compromised. Genie OEM parts are
tested and certified to meet strict industry standards (ANSI,
OSHA).
Perfect Fit: Guaranteed to mount correctly and engage at the precise height
required by the machine's design.
Reliability: Manufactured with high-quality materials to ensure long-term
performance and avoid costly downtime.
Warranty Protection: Maintains the validity of your equipment's warranty.
