2-Way 3-Position Directional Valve 101056GT / 101056 (Hydraulic Control Valve) – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The 2-Way 3-Position Directional Valve with Genie part numbers 101056GT and 101056 is a crucial electro-hydraulic component used in the manifold block of specific Genie Articulating Boom Lifts (Z-Series). Although typically directional valves are 4-way for full bi-directional control, the specific 2-Way, 3-Position configuration of this valve indicates it is designed for a unique circuit requiring precise control over two ports and three positions (likely a common port blocked/flow A/flow B). This specific valve is essential for controlling a single, critical function, such as the Jib boom movement or a specialized auxiliary control circuit on the Z-Series lifts.
This valve is critical for the function it controls, offering a center/neutral position (Position 2) for holding and two active positions (Position 1 and 3) for extension and retraction (or similar bi-directional action). The part number 101056GT is the necessary replacement for addressing issues such as a failure of the function to move in one or both directions, the inability to hold position (drift), or erratic movement.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ 3-Position Control: Provides precise control over a function with a defined center/neutral holding position.
✅ Z-Series Fitment: Essential directional control valve for the hydraulic manifold of compatible Genie Z-45/25 Articulating Boom Lifts.
✅ Electro-Hydraulic Control: Electrically actuated by the machine’s control system for precision movement.
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for Genie part numbers 101056GT and 101056.
