Steer Axle Cylinder 88337GT – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Steer Axle Cylinder with Genie Part Number 88337GT (also cross-referenced as 88337) is a pivotal component in the steering mechanism of various Genie Articulating Boom Lifts (Z-Series).1
This double-acting hydraulic cylinder is responsible for actuating the axle steering knuckles, enabling the lift to be maneuvered precisely. On Z-Boom models, the steer cylinder must handle high loads and pressures to turn the heavy axle assembly, especially when maneuvering in tight spaces or on uneven terrain.
Failure of the original cylinder, often manifesting as external oil leaks from the rod or internal bypass (leading to delayed or inconsistent steering response), directly compromises machine safety and control. Replacing the faulty cylinder with the 88337GT restores the lift’s accurate and responsive hydraulic steering, ensuring safe operation and maneuverability.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
- ✅ Axle Steering Actuator: Critical double-acting cylinder that provides the hydraulic force required for steering the Z-Boom axle.
- ✅ Restores Responsive Steering: Eliminates internal bypass and external leaks, ensuring immediate and accurate steering feedback.
- ✅ Wide Model Compatibility: Fits a large and popular fleet of Genie Articulating Boom Lifts (Z-30/20N up to Z-51/30J).2
- ✅ Complete Assembly: Ready for installation with mounting hardware (bushings/fittings) typically included or pre-installed.
- ✅ Direct Replacement: High-quality aftermarket or genuine OEM equivalent for Genie Part Number 88337GT.
