Hydraulic Drive Motor 96257 / 96257GT – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Hydraulic Drive Motor with Genie Part Numbers 96257 and 96257GT is the primary power unit responsible for the movement and braking of numerous Genie Slab Scissor Lifts.1 This motor is a crucial component that directly impacts the lift’s ability to drive, steer, and safely hold position.
The motor features an integrated brake assembly (often referred to as a hydraulic brake motor) that is typically a spring-applied, hydraulically released multi-disc brake.2 Failure of this motor/brake combination results in the lift’s inability to drive, or more dangerously, the inability to stop or hold position on an incline.
This drive motor (96257 / 96257GT) is a direct replacement for the original equipment used on a wide range of popular Genie Scissor Lifts.3 Replacing a faulty drive motor restores the lift’s driving power, steering response, and critical braking function, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
