PROPORTIONAL DIRECTIONAL SOLENOID VALVE 1260136 / 1260136GT (3P4W) – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Proportional Directional Solenoid Valve with part numbers 1260136 and 1260136GT is an advanced electro-hydraulic component designed for high-precision flow control within Genie Aerial Work Platforms (AWP). This specific valve is designated as a 3-Position, 4-Way (3P4W) valve, meaning it can direct hydraulic flow along four distinct paths and hold three different positions (e.g., extend, hold/neutral, retract).1 Crucially, being proportional, it controls not just which direction the fluid flows, but also the rate or speed of that flow based on the strength of the electrical signal it receives.
This valve is essential for controlling machine functions that require variable speed and precise feathering, most commonly drive/steer or lift/boom control on newer, electronically managed lifts. The part number 1260136GT is the necessary replacement for addressing issues such as unresponsive or erratic control, lack of variable speed (only full-speed or off), or complete failure of the specific proportional function. Restoring this valve is vital for safe and smooth machine operation.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ Proportional Control: Regulates the flow rate (speed) of hydraulic fluid based on the electrical input signal.2
✅ 3-Position, 4-Way Function: Manages bi-directional movement (e.g., forward/backward, up/down) with a neutral hold.
✅ Precision Control: Essential for smooth acceleration, deceleration, and feathering of critical boom and drive functions.
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for Genie part numbers 1260136GT and 1260136.
