Unloader Valve, Pilot-Operated 37050GT / 37050 – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Unloader Valve, Pilot-Operated with Genie part numbers 37050GT and 37050 is a specialized pressure control valve used in the hydraulic systems of various Genie Aerial Work Platforms (AWP), particularly those with dual-pump systems or systems requiring pressure staging. The primary function of an unloader valve is to return pump flow to the tank at low pressure when the system pressure reaches a predetermined setting and/or when signaled by a pilot pressure (Pilot-Operated – P.O.). This reduces heat generation, saves engine/motor power, and prevents the system from locking up under continuous high pressure when flow is not needed.
This valve is essential for the efficiency and thermal management of the hydraulic system. The part number 37050GT is the necessary replacement for addressing issues such as hydraulic overheating, excessive engine/motor load when the function is inactive, or system failure to build or maintain necessary working pressure due to the valve prematurely or continuously diverting flow.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ System Unloading: Automatically diverts pump flow to tank at low pressure when system demand is met or reduced.
✅ Pilot-Operated (P.O.): Activation is controlled by an external pilot pressure signal, allowing for complex circuit control.
✅ Energy/Heat Management: Reduces unnecessary power consumption and prevents hydraulic fluid overheating.
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for Genie part numbers 37050GT and 37050.
