Limit Switch 4360578S – Roller Lever Position Sensor for JLG Boom Lifts

🔹 Product Overview: Critical Position Sensing and Safety Interlock
The Limit Switch with part number 4360578S (and its predecessor 4360578) is a vital electrical safety component for a wide range of JLG Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs). It is typically a roller lever style limit switch used to monitor the extreme physical limits or positions of major machine components. On boom lifts, this switch is often employed to sense the boom angle and/or length, providing the control system with immediate feedback on the boom’s configuration. This is crucial for enforcing stability limits, speed restrictions, and ensuring the machine remains within its safe operating envelope. A failure of this component can lead to safety lockouts or prevent key machine functions.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ Critical Safety Function: Designated as a safety limit switch, essential for monitoring boom position and enforcing safety parameters (e.g., cutback speed in specific boom positions).
✅ Roller Lever Actuator: Features a roller lever design, providing mechanical reliability and smooth activation when a moving component reaches its limit.
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: Exact match for JLG part numbers 4360578S and 4360578.
✅ Wide Application: Used for position sensing on various articulated (AJ) and straight (SJ, S) boom lift models.
✅ High Durability: Constructed with a metal housing and engineered for the harsh mechanical and environmental conditions of aerial lift operation.
