Genie parts orders go wrong for one reason: the Genie line is wide, and the same part name means different things across it. A platform control box for a GS-1930 scissor is not the control box on a Z-45 boom, and a GTH-844 telehandler shares almost nothing with either. Genie also revised electrical systems mid-series, so two GS-3246 machines from different years can take different controllers. This guide covers how the Genie line breaks down, how to identify a part so the first order is the right one, which parts fail most often on each machine type, and how AirWorx supplies Genie parts from four branches in Indiana and Illinois with shipping nationwide.
Have the model and full serial number from the machine’s serial plate before you call. The serial number decides the parts book Genie uses for your machine. Send the parts team the model, serial, the part number if you have it, a plain description of what failed, and a photo of the part and the plate. Genie parts ship to Florida, Texas, and every other state from AirWorx.
Which Genie machines does this guide cover?
Genie builds four families of equipment, and every parts order starts by naming the family.
GS scissor lifts. The GS-1930, GS-2632, GS-3246, and GS-4047 electric slab lifts, and the GS-2669 RT through GS-5390 RT rough terrain models. The model number encodes platform height and width: GS-3246 is a 32 foot platform, 46 inches wide. The Genie Scissor Lift Parts guide goes deeper on this family.
Z articulating booms. Z-30/20, Z-34/22, Z-45/25, Z-60/37, Z-80/60 and the newer Z-45 XC and Z-62/40. The numbers are platform height and horizontal outreach in feet.
S telescopic booms. S-40, S-45, S-60, S-65, S-80, S-85, S-105, S-125, and the XC heavy-capacity variants. Straight sticks; the number is platform height.
GTH telehandlers. GTH-5519, GTH-636, GTH-844, GTH-1056 and related models. The number is lift capacity in hundreds of pounds and maximum lift height: GTH-844 lifts 8,000 pounds to 44 feet.
Genie also makes vertical mast lifts (GR, GRC, QS series) and material lifts (Superlift). AirWorx supports parts for all of these, but the four families above cover the overwhelming majority of what comes across the counter.
How do you identify the right Genie part?
Start with the serial plate. Every Genie machine carries a metal serial plate with the model and a full serial number. On GS scissors it is typically on the chassis near the ladder or the ground control side. On Z and S booms it is on the turntable or chassis. On GTH telehandlers it is in the cab or on the frame near the cab. The Serial Number and Model Year Lookup guide has the exact locations by brand. Photograph the plate; a photo prevents transposed digits.
The serial number decides the parts book. Genie publishes parts manuals by serial number range, not by model alone, because the company changes components during a production run. A GS-3246 built before a given serial break uses one controller; after it, another. Give the parts team the full serial number and they pull the right manual page. Give them only the model and they are guessing.
Find the part number when you can. Many Genie components carry a part number on a label or casting. Hydraulic cylinders, control boxes, contactors, and motors usually do. If it is legible, it is the fastest route to the right part.
Describe the symptom, not just the part. “The platform will not lift but drives fine” points to a lift solenoid, hydraulic pump, or a limit switch. “Fault code on the display” points at the controller or a sensor, and the code itself is the clue. Genie machines log fault codes on the platform display or the ground control display; record the code before you call.
Send photos. The failed part in place, the plate, and any wiring or connector. A picture resolves more Genie parts orders than any other single step.
Common Genie parts by machine family
GS scissor lifts. Platform control boxes and joysticks (the most-replaced part on any electric scissor), pothole guards and their limit switches, tilt sensors, lift and drive contactors, batteries and chargers, drive motors, hydraulic pump and motor assemblies, lift cylinders and seal kits, level sensors, wheel and tire assemblies (non-marking), scissor arm wear pads, and the platform extension deck rollers and latches.
Z and S booms. Platform control boxes, foot switches, boom angle and length sensors, turntable rotation motors and worm gears, boom wear pads, jib and platform rotate cylinders, hydraulic hoses and fittings, engine components on diesel models (filters, belts, starters, alternators), generators on hybrid models, drive hubs, tires, platform overload and load sense systems, and the operator protective structures that newer machines require.
GTH telehandlers. Boom wear pads (the highest-frequency wear item), fork carriage pins and bushings, boom chain and cable assemblies, hydraulic cylinders for lift, extend, and tilt, engine service parts, transmission and axle components, tires, cab glass, and the load moment indicator and its sensors.
Across all families. Decals and safety labels (required to be legible at inspection), manuals, seat belts and lanyard anchors, batteries, filters, and the annual inspection consumables.
Should you use OEM or aftermarket Genie parts?
Genuine Genie parts are built to the machine’s original specification and carry the manufacturer’s warranty. For anything that affects control, stability, or load (controllers, sensors, structural pins, hydraulic cylinders, tilt and overload systems) OEM is the right call, and on a machine under warranty it is the only call. Quality aftermarket parts make sense for wear and consumable items: filters, tires, wear pads, hoses cut to length, batteries, decals. The parts team will tell you where an aftermarket part is a fair substitute and where it is not; the honest answer changes with the part.
Genie parts in Indiana, Illinois, Florida, Texas, and nationwide
AirWorx stocks and sources Genie parts from branches in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Warsaw, Indiana, and Flora, Illinois. Stock transfers between branches, and the service department behind the counter helps when the failed part is not obvious. Local support buys you a parts specialist who asks the right questions before the order goes in.
For customers outside the branch footprint, Genie parts ship nationwide. A large share of AirWorx parts orders go to Florida and Texas, where fleets are large and downtime is expensive. Orders placed by mid-afternoon on in-stock parts typically ship the same day.
Before you call the parts counter
Have these ready: the model, the full serial number (or a photo of the plate), the part number if you can read it, a plain description of the symptom, any fault codes from the display, and photos. If the machine is down, say so; the parts team can check stock across branches and quote overnight shipping.

Frequently asked questions about Genie parts
What information do I need to order Genie parts?
The model and full serial number from the machine’s serial plate, the part number if you can find it, a description of the symptom or failure, any fault codes, and a photo of the part and the plate. The serial number matters most because Genie parts manuals are organized by serial range.
Where is the serial number on a Genie lift?
On GS scissor lifts the serial plate is on the chassis, usually near the ladder or ground controls. On Z and S booms it is on the turntable or chassis. On GTH telehandlers it is in the cab or on the frame. Photograph it rather than copying it by hand.
Does AirWorx ship Genie parts to Florida and Texas?
Yes. AirWorx ships Genie parts nationwide from its Indiana and Illinois branches, and Florida and Texas are two of its largest out-of-state parts markets.
Are Genie parts interchangeable between models?
Some consumables are, such as filters, tires, and batteries within a family. Controllers, sensors, cylinders, and structural parts generally are not, and Genie changes components within a single model across serial ranges. Always order by serial number.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket Genie parts?
OEM for anything that affects control, stability, or load, and for machines under warranty. Quality aftermarket parts are a fair choice for wear items and consumables. The parts team will tell you which is which for your part.
Can AirWorx help identify a failed Genie part?
Yes. Send a photo, the symptom, and any fault codes and the parts team will identify it, and the service department can diagnose the machine in the shop or in the field if needed.
Does AirWorx carry parts for other brands?
Yes: JLG, Skyjack, SkyTrak, Lull, Gradall, and other aerial and telehandler brands. See the Aerial Lift Parts guide for the full list.
Send the parts team the model, serial number, part number if you have it, a plain description of the symptom, and photos. Contact the parts team.
