Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Genie's original specifications, ensuring correct electrical and mechanical performance for the steer select function.
- Direct OEM Replacement — This valve installs in place of the original with no adaptation required, restoring the steering selector circuit to proper operation.
- Broad GTH Telehandler Fitment — Compatible with the GTH-636, GTH-844, GTH-1056, and GTH-1256, covering a wide range of Genie telescopic handler configurations.
- Steering System Integrity — A properly functioning steer select solenoid valve allows the operator to switch between steering modes accurately. A failed or stuck valve can cause unresponsive or incorrect steering behavior, affecting maneuverability on the jobsite.
- Operational Safety — Correct steering mode selection is critical on a telehandler operating at height or with a loaded attachment. Replacing a faulty valve with a genuine OEM part helps maintain the steering response the machine was designed to deliver.
A solenoid valve uses an electromagnetic coil to shift an internal spool or poppet, directing fluid to activate or switch a circuit when an electrical signal is applied. In a steer select application, this valve controls which steering mode — such as two-wheel, four-wheel, or crab steer — is engaged, allowing the operator to adapt the machine's handling to the terrain and task. When the solenoid fails, the selected steering mode may not engage correctly, leaving the machine locked into one mode or responding unpredictably to steering inputs. Replacing this component with the correct OEM part restores accurate, predictable steering mode selection.
