Platform Rotator without Valve 94398GT – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Platform Rotator without Valve with Genie Part Numbers 94398 and 94398GT is a key mechanical and hydraulic assembly component responsible for the rotational movement of the work platform (man basket) on various Genie Telescopic Boom Lifts (S-Series).
This assembly is a complete rotator head, including the hydraulic motor and gear drive mechanism, but it does not include the hydraulic manifold or control valve (which must be transferred from the old unit or purchased separately). The rotator allows the platform to be turned side-to-side (typically $\pm 90^{\circ}$ or $160^{\circ}$ total), providing the operator with precise positioning capability at the worksite.
Failure of the rotator (94398GT), typically due to internal motor seal leaks, gear wear, or spline damage, results in sluggish, inconsistent, or complete loss of platform rotation. Replacing this unit is essential for restoring precise platform control and maximizing the lift’s utility.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
- ✅ Platform Rotation Actuator: Complete hydraulic motor and gear assembly responsible for turning the operator platform side-to-side.
- ✅ Excludes Valve: Supplied as the mechanical/hydraulic drive unit only, allowing the reuse of the existing functional control valve.
- ✅ Restores Precision Positioning: Ensures the operator can accurately adjust the platform orientation at height for optimal access.
- ✅ Wide Model Compatibility: Fits a large, popular fleet of Genie Telescopic Boom Lifts (S-40 up to S-85X).1
- ✅ Direct Replacement: High-quality aftermarket or genuine OEM equivalent for Genie Part Numbers 94398 and 94398GT.
