The Genie Gate Latch Kit (Part #65990-SGT) is a genuine OEM replacement kit designed to restore the safety, functionality, and compliance of the platform gate on specific Genie scissor lift models. This kit contains all necessary components to repair or replace a worn, damaged, or malfunctioning gate latching mechanism, which is a critical safety interlock system.

Key Features & Specifications

• Genuine OEM Part: Manufactured by Genie (Terex), ensuring perfect fit, form, function, and reliability.

• Complete Kit: Includes all essential hardware for a complete repair (typically includes the latch mechanism, strike plate, pins, springs, and necessary fasteners).

• Safety-Critical Function: Directly integrated with the machine's safety interlock system. The lift will not operate unless the gate is properly closed and latched.

• Durable Construction: Components are made from high-strength steel and alloys, designed to withstand frequent use and harsh job site conditions.

• Part Number: 65990-SGT (This is the essential identifier for correct ordering).

Core Function & Importance

The primary purpose of this kit is to ensure the platform gate functions safely and correctly. Its applications include:

1. Safety Interlock Restoration:

   • The gate latch is a fundamental part of the machine's safety system. It prevents the lift from being operated while the gate is open, ensuring the operator is safely within the platform.

   • A faulty latch can bypass this interlock, creating a serious fall hazard and violating OSHA/ANSI safety standards.

2. Maintenance and Repair:

   • Direct Replacement: This kit is the solution for addressing:

     • Wear and Tear: The latch mechanism can become loose, sloppy, or difficult to engage after extensive use.

     • Damage: The latch or strike plate can be bent or broken due to impact or misuse.

     • Missing Components: Lost pins, springs, or fasteners that render the gate inoperative.

     • Failed Safety Inspection: A non-functional gate latch is a common reason for a lift to be red-tagged.

3. Operational Reliability:

   • A positive and secure latch ensures the gate remains closed during machine movement, preventing unexpected openings and enhancing operator confidence.

Compatibility

This kit is specifically designed for the following Genie Scissor Lift Models:

• Genie GS-2046 (20ft Platform Height, 4,600lb Capacity)

• Genie GS-2646 (26ft Platform Height, 4,600lb Capacity)

• Genie GS-3246 (32ft Platform Height, 4,600lb Capacity)

• Genie GR-20 (20ft Platform Height, Rough Terrain Model)

It is crucial to verify your machine's model and serial number before ordering.
