Rotary Coupling Seal Kit 70001248 – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Rotary Coupling Seal Kit with JLG Part Number 70001248 is a critical, high-performance seal set designed specifically for the Hydraulic Rotary Coupling (or Swivel Joint) utilized in the turntable assembly of a wide range of popular JLG Boom Lifts. This includes models such as the 400S, 460SJ, 600A, 600AJ, 600S, 660SJ, 800A, 800AJ, 800S, and 860SJ.1
The rotary coupling is essential for allowing the boom and turntable to rotate 360 degrees continuously while securely transferring high-pressure hydraulic fluid (for drive, steer, and lift functions) and electrical signals from the chassis to the rotating upper structure.
Seal failure within the coupler causes two major issues: external hydraulic leaks or dangerous internal cross-port leakage. Internal leakage results in pressure loss, sluggish functions, and erratic drive/steer behavior, particularly when the turntable is rotating. Using the 70001248 seal kit restores the coupling’s sealing integrity, ensuring safe, reliable, and smooth hydraulic function across all rotational angles.
