The Genie 218496GT is a genuine OEM Wheel Drive with Brake, 76:1, Brevi built for Genie SX-series super-boom telescopic lifts, including the SX-150, SX-180, SX-135 XC, and SX-125 XC. As an authentic Genie OEM component, it is manufactured to the exact specifications required for these high-reach machines, ensuring a direct, correct-fit replacement. Confirm part number 218496GT against your machine's parts manual to verify it is the right unit for your serial range before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Precision — Manufactured to Genie's exact dimensional and mechanical specifications, this drive unit matches the original in gear ratio, mounting interface, and integrated brake configuration.
- Integrated Brake Design — The built-in brake holds the machine securely on grade, combining the drive and braking functions into a single assembly for straightforward servicing.
- Correct 76:1 Gear Ratio — The 76:1 reduction ratio is specific to this application; substituting an incorrect ratio would alter drive speed and tractive effort, making exact match critical.
- Direct Replacement Fit — Engineered to bolt directly into the drive position on supported SX-series frames without modification, restoring drive performance to original operating parameters.
- Broad SX Super-Boom Coverage — Confirmed fitment across SX-150, SX-180, SX-135 XC, and SX-125 XC telescopic boom lifts — Genie's tallest and most demanding machines in the range.
- Operational Safety — A correctly functioning drive-and-brake assembly is essential for safe machine travel and hold on elevated terrain; a failed or degraded unit compromises both mobility and static brake holding force.
A wheel drive with integrated brake combines a reduction gearbox and a braking mechanism into one compact assembly mounted at the drive wheel. The gear reduction converts motor output into the torque needed to propel the machine across the ground, while the brake holds the unit stationary when drive input is removed. On a super-boom telescopic lift like the SX-150 or SX-180 — machines that operate at extreme working heights — a reliable drive-and-brake assembly is critical: a degraded unit can cause sluggish or uneven travel on the ground, and a brake that loses holding force creates a safety hazard when the machine is positioned on a slope or uneven surface.
