96417GT  Hydraulic Drive Motor for Genie Scissor Lift​ GS-1930 GS-2032 GS-2046 GS-3232 GS-1530

The 96417GT / 96417 Hydraulic Drive Motor is a high-performance replacement component designed specifically for Genie scissor lifts. This drive motor is essential for powering the lift's mobility, providing reliable and efficient operation to ensure the smooth movement and positioning of the scissor lift.

Product Overview: Hydraulic Drive Motor (Part # 96417GT)

Product Name: Hydraulic Drive Motor
Manufacturer Part Number (P/N): 96417GT
OEM Application: Designed as a genuine or direct-fit replacement component for Genie brand scissor lifts.
Core Function: To convert hydraulic fluid power into controlled mechanical rotation, directly driving the wheel or track system to propel the scissor lift platform.

Detailed Purpose & Primary Application

The 96417GT Hydraulic Drive Motor is a mission-critical propulsion system component specifically engineered for Genie scissor lifts. Its fundamental purpose is to provide precise and reliable ground movement for the entire aerial work platform.

1. Core Role in the Machine:
This motor acts as the final power transmission unit in the hydraulic circuit of the scissor lift. It receives high-pressure hydraulic oil from the machine's pump and valve system and transforms this fluid energy into rotary mechanical force. This rotation is then transferred directly to the wheels or drive gears, enabling the scissor lift to travel forward, reverse, and maneuver on the job site.

2. Key Operational Contribution:

• Controlled Propulsion: Enables the operator to smoothly and accurately position the heavy scissor lift for optimal access to work areas, eliminating the need for manual pushing or external towing.

• Gradeability: Provides the necessary torque to drive the loaded scissor lift on mild slopes and uneven terrain commonly found at construction sites, warehouses, and facilities.

• Integrated System Performance: Its operation is directly linked to the machine's hydraulic control levers or joystick, allowing for responsive and variable speed control as required for safe and efficient operation.

Typical Use-Cases & Scenarios

This drive motor is essential for the mobility function of Genie scissor lifts in numerous industries:

• Construction & Building Maintenance: For moving the lift into position for tasks like electrical work, HVAC installation, painting, or ceiling repair.

• Warehousing & Logistics: For navigating aisles to access high shelving for stock picking, inventory management, or lighting maintenance.

• Industrial Facility Maintenance: For positioning within manufacturing plants, distribution centers, or aircraft hangars to service equipment, pipelines, or lighting systems.

• Any application requiring the repeated, self-powered repositioning of a Genie scissor lift to maintain workflow efficiency and operator safety.

Why This Specific Part (#96417GT) is Critical

• Direct Compatibility: It is engineered to match the exact mounting dimensions, shaft size, displacement, torque output, and hydraulic port connections of the original motor in specific Genie scissor lift models.

• Performance Match: Ensures the restored drive system operates at the manufacturer's intended speed, power, and pressure specifications, maintaining the lift's original performance and safety margins.

• System Integrity: Using the correct replacement motor (96417GT) prevents potential damage to other hydraulic components (pumps, valves, hoses) caused by flow or pressure mismatches.

Summary

In essence, the 96417GT Hydraulic Drive Motor is not a generic hydraulic component; it is the specialized "engine" that powers the ground movement of a Genie scissor lift. Its correct function is paramount for the machine's operational productivity, maneuverability, and overall safety. Replacing a failed or worn drive motor with this specified part (#96417GT) restores the lift's essential ability to travel under its own power, a fundamental requirement for its utility as an aerial work platform.
