Footswitch Assembly 227620GT – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
Buy the Genie Footswitch Assembly 227620GT replacement for S-45, S-65, S-80, and SX-105 Boom Lifts. Essential platform safety enabling switch.
The Footswitch Assembly with Genie Part Numbers 227620 and 227620GT is a critical safety component used on the operator’s platform of various Genie Telescopic Boom Lifts. It is specifically compatible with the popular S-Series models, including the S-40, S-45, S-60, S-65, S-80, S-85, and the high-reach SX-105.1
This assembly functions as the mandatory “dead man” or enabling pedal. It requires the operator to maintain active pressure on the pedal before the primary lift functions (drive, steer, and boom movement) can be enabled via the hand controls. This safety protocol ensures the operator is prepared and stable. Releasing the pedal instantly halts primary functions, making it essential for site safety and regulatory compliance.
The switch is housed in a heavy-duty assembly designed to endure constant foot traffic, moisture, and debris exposure typical of exposed platforms. Replacing a failed or compromised unit with the 227620GT is required to maintain the lift’s operational safety.
