The Genie Foot Pedal Switch 13482GT is a replacement electrical control component for compatible Genie mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs). Located at the platform operating position on applicable machines, the foot switch forms part of the operator control system, making a correctly functioning switch important for dependable machine operation.
For plant hire companies, access hire fleets and construction businesses, defective controls can leave otherwise serviceable access equipment unavailable for work. HSE guidance recommends daily/pre-use function checks on MEWPs and states that reported defects should be rectified quickly, with equipment taken out of service where a fault is safety-critical. Keeping commonly required Genie electrical parts available can therefore help maintenance teams minimise avoidable downtime.

Top Tips - Genie Foot Switch Replacement
How do I know if 13482GT is suitable for my Genie lift?
Check the machine model, serial number and Genie parts manual before ordering. Parts can vary between model revisions and serial-number ranges, so the part number should not be selected on machine appearance alone.
What should I do if a Genie foot switch stops working?
Do not bypass or defeat a safety or control device to keep the machine operating. HSE guidance states that MEWP operators should report defects and that problems should be rectified promptly. Safety-critical faults require the machine to be taken out of service.
Should MEWP controls be checked before use?
Yes. HSE guidance recommends a programme of daily visual checks and regular inspections in accordance with manufacturer instructions and the risks associated with the MEWP.
