Needle Valve 101055GT / 101055 (Fine Adjustment Flow Control) – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Needle Valve with Genie part numbers 101055GT and 101055 is a highly sensitive hydraulic control component used in the manifold blocks of various Genie Aerial Work Platforms (AWP). This valve features a precision tapered stem (needle) that fits into a small orifice, allowing for extremely fine, manual adjustment of the hydraulic fluid flow rate. Unlike non-adjustable flow regulators, this component permits technicians to precisely “tune” the speed of a specific function.
This fine adjustment valve is essential for calibrating the maximum speed of a hydraulic function (such as platform rotation, basket leveling, or auxiliary lowering speed) to meet specific operational or safety requirements. The part number 101055GT is the necessary replacement for addressing issues where a function’s speed cannot be correctly calibrated, runs too fast/slow, or exhibits inconsistent flow due to contamination or failure of the internal needle/seat.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ Fine Flow Control: Allows for micro-adjustment of flow rate using a threaded needle stem.
✅ Precision Calibration: Essential for safely calibrating the speed of critical boom or platform functions.
✅ Manual Adjustment: Provides a non-electronic method for setting maximum safe operating speeds.
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for Genie part numbers 101055GT and 101055.
