The Genie 79738GT is a genuine OEM Wheel Drive Assembly designed for the Z-60/34 articulating boom lift in 2WD configurations. This complete drive unit includes the integrated motor and brake, and is supplied as a full assembly — the component drive motor is no longer available as a separate part, making this the correct and only supported replacement for this application. As a genuine Genie OEM part, it is built to the same specification as the original unit installed at the factory, ensuring a direct, verified fit for the Z-60/34. Cross-reference part number 79738GT against your parts manual to confirm applicability before ordering.
Key Features
- Complete Drive Assembly — Supplied as a fully integrated unit with the 62.5:1 gear ratio, drive motor, and brake included — the motor is no longer serviceable separately, so this assembly is the supported replacement solution.
- Genuine OEM Construction — Built to the same torque capacity and gear tolerancing as the original Genie-installed component, ensuring consistent drive output and wheel engagement without compromise.
- Verified Fitment for Z-60/34 2WD Models — Engineered specifically for the Z-60/34 articulating boom lift in two-wheel drive configuration; confirm your machine's drive type before ordering.
- Restores Full Drive Performance — A worn or failed wheel drive can cause loss of traction, erratic travel, or complete drive failure; this assembly brings wheel drive function back to full operational condition.
- Critical Safety Component — The wheel drive directly controls machine travel on grade and uneven ground. Replacing a failed unit with a genuine OEM assembly supports the structural and operational integrity required for safe aerial lift use.
The wheel drive assembly transfers power from the drive motor through a gearbox to the wheel hub, converting motor output into the controlled ground travel that moves the machine across the worksite. The 62.5:1 gear ratio provides the mechanical advantage needed for a heavy articulating boom lift to travel smoothly under load and maintain control on grades. When this assembly wears out or fails, the machine may lose drive entirely or exhibit uncontrolled travel behavior — both of which ground the unit until the drive is restored.
