Product Overview: Genie Brake Release Manifold Assembly (Part #105067GT / 105067)

Genie Brake Release Manifold Assembly 105067GT 105067 for Genie GR GS QS Series

The Genie Brake Release Manifold Assembly is a critical hydraulic system component designed for manual brake release and auxiliary power functions on Genie material lifts and personnel lifts. This genuine Genie OEM part ensures safe and reliable operation when towing or maneuvering a disabled machine.

Key Features & Specifications

• Genuine OEM Part: Manufactured to Genie's exact specifications for guaranteed compatibility and performance. The part numbers are 105067GT (likely a kit or updated number) and 105067.

• Function: Serves as a centralized hydraulic manifold that integrates:

  • Manual Brake Release Valves: Allows the operator to manually disengage the drive wheel brakes.

  • Auxiliary Hydraulic Ports: Provides connections for an external power source.

  • Pressure Relief & Flow Control: Manages hydraulic pressure and fluid flow during the manual release process.

• Construction: Typically made from durable, machined aluminum or steel to withstand high system pressures and harsh job site environments.

• Purpose: The primary purpose of this assembly is to provide a safe, integrated method for releasing the hydraulic brakes on the drive wheels, enabling the machine to be moved when it has lost primary power.

Core Functions & Applications

This assembly is a vital part of the machine's auxiliary systems, used in specific situations:

1. Towing and Recovery:

   • Primary Application: Its main function is to manually release the hydraulic brakes on the drive motors. This is essential when the lift has lost battery power, has a hydraulic system failure, or has a drive system malfunction, rendering it immobile. By releasing the brakes, the machine can be towed or pushed to a safe location for repair.

2. Maintenance and Servicing:

   • System Testing: Technicians use the manifold during diagnostics to isolate and test the brake release circuit.

   • Component Replacement: This entire assembly is replaced as a unit when internal valves leak, the manifold body is damaged, or ports become stripped, restoring proper function to the brake release system.

3. Auxiliary Power Connection (if equipped):

   • Some manifolds include a port for connecting an external hydraulic pump (often called an auxiliary or "aux" power pack). This external pump can provide hydraulic pressure to not only release the brakes but also to lower the platform in an emergency, adding a critical layer of safety.

Compatibility & Models

This part is designed for use on a wide range of Genie lifts, including models from these popular series:

• Genie GR Series (e.g., GR-12, GR-20, GR-32) - Material Lifts

• Genie GS Series (e.g., GS-1930, GS-2646, GS-3246, GS-3369, GS-4047) - Scissor Lifts

• Genie QS Series (e.g., QS-12, QS-15) - Portable Material Lifts

It is crucial to verify the part number (105067GT or 105067) against your machine's specific model and serial number to ensure correct fitment.

Why is this Part Critical?

• Safety Feature: It is a fundamental safety and recovery component. Without a functional brake release system, a disabled machine could block critical pathways or require complex and expensive recovery efforts.

• Minimizes Downtime: Allows for quick and safe movement of a non-operational lift, significantly reducing downtime on the job site and enabling faster repairs.

• System Integrity: A leaking or faulty manifold can cause brake drag, loss of hydraulic fluid, or a complete failure of the brake release function. Replacing it restores the integrity of the entire auxiliary hydraulic circuit.

Who Needs This Part?

• Equipment Rental Companies: Essential for fleet maintenance to quickly resolve breakdowns on site.

• Construction & Industrial Maintenance Teams: For in-house repair capabilities to keep projects moving.

• AWP (Aerial Work Platform) Service Technicians: A standard replacement part for repairing Genie lifts with brake release or auxiliary system failures.

• Equipment Owners: To ensure their machinery can be safely recovered and repaired in the event of a failure.
