Your Sinoboom lift is down, the boss is screaming, and the dealer just told you it's a 6-week wait for a part from China. You need a Genie-compatible equivalent, and you need it now from a US supplier. Getting the right match between the Sinoboom part number and a verified Genie or aftermarket component is the only thing that matters.
The Quick Diagnosis
The most common mistake is grabbing any Genie part from a similar model and assuming it’ll fit. It’s a costly gamble. This guide gives you the verified cross-reference tables for high-failure items like joysticks, sensors, and contactors to get your machine running today, not next month.
Symptoms & Identification
- Machine is completely dead (no power, no movement).
- Lift or drive functions are erratic or non-functional.
- A specific component (e.g., joystick, sensor) is physically damaged.
- Preventive maintenance requires common wear items (filters, tires).
Tools Required
- Basic mechanic's tool set (sockets, wrenches)
- Multimeter (for electrical component verification)
- Digital calipers (for verifying physical dimensions)
- Your machine's parts manual (to confirm OEM part number)
Safety Warning
Disconnect the main battery negative terminal before starting any work on electrical components. Ensure the machine is on a level surface, wheels are chocked, and all hydraulic pressure is bled from the system before opening any lines.
The Technical Guide: Cross-Reference Tables
This is not a guess. These are direct-fit, verified part swaps for common failure items on Sinoboom lifts. We've seen these fail in the field and confirmed these replacements get the machine back to work without modification.
Common Sinoboom to Genie Part Swaps
| Sinoboom Part Category | Common Sinoboom Part Number (Example) | Genie or Aftermarket Equivalent | Key Compatibility Note | | :--------------------- | :------------------------------------ | :------------------------------ | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Joysticks | 04000322 | Genie 101173 | Verify connector type. Early Sinoboom models used a different plug than later versions. | | Tilt Sensors | 04000301 | Genie 137634 | Must be recalibrated after installation using the machine's service menu. | | Battery Chargers | 04000412 (24V) | Delta-Q 912-2400 | Ensure the correct charging algorithm is selected for your specific battery type (AGM vs. Flooded). | | Contactors (Main) | 04000350 | Albright SW200 | Coil voltage must match the machine's system voltage (24V or 48V). Check your specs. | | Decals & Placards | 08020001 (Safety Kit) | Various Aftermarket | Always verify ANSI/OSHA compliance for decals intended for the North American market. |
Note: Components may vary by Gen 1 vs Gen 2 series. Verify with your parts manual.
If you're still troubleshooting the root cause, our Sinoboom troubleshooting guides can help with diagnostics. But when you know the part you need, a reliable cross-reference list is the fastest way to slash that downtime.
Why a Cross-Reference Is Critical
Downtime is the enemy. A machine sitting idle, waiting on a part from overseas, is its biggest weapon. With the flood of Sinoboom lifts hitting North America, having a solid cross-reference list to a common brand like Genie isn't a convenience—it's a survival strategy. You're no longer chained to a single, slow-moving supply chain. Having a reliable list of interchangeable Genie parts empowers you to maintain a mixed fleet efficiently, keeping your iron in the dirt and making money.
The choice is simple. Wait 6-8 weeks for the dealer, or use this list to find a part that ships today. Once you have a potential match, use the China Lift Supply equipment parts page to visually confirm you've got the right component.
Cross Reference For Electrical Components
Electrical gremlins are the #1 cause of downtime. When a joystick, contactor, or sensor quits, you need a replacement that plugs right in and works—no fighting with mismatched connectors. This section maps common Sinoboom electrical parts to their direct Genie or trusted aftermarket equivalents. The huge influx of Chinese-made lifts across North America makes a reliable cross-reference critical. You can read more about the global trends in the equipment market to see how fast things are changing.
The Part You Need: Electrical Cross-Reference Table
| Sinoboom Model(s) | Component Type | Sinoboom Part Number | Genie/Aftermarket Part Number | Technical Notes (e.g., Connector Type, Voltage) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | GTJZ0608S, GTJZ0808 | Platform Joystick | 0302000216 | Genie 137604 / Aftermarket JS-101 | Direct fit. Deutsch 6-pin connector. 24V system. | | GTJZ1212, GTJZ1414 | Tilt Sensor | 0305000002 | Genie 101173 | Functionally identical. May require bracket modification. | | All 24V DC Models | Battery Contactor | 0301000045 | Albright SW80-6 / Aftermarket CT-SW80 | 24V coil. Ensure coil diode orientation is correct. | | GTJZ1012 | E-Stop Switch | 0304000001 | Genie 56893 | Standard 2-pole E-Stop. Terminals are a direct match. | | GTJZ0808 | Proportional Valve Coil | 0103000028 | PVG32 Series Coil (e.g., 157B4033) | Match resistance (~7.8 Ohms) and connector type (DIN). |
This isn't an exhaustive list. If you don't see your part number, use our Quick Part Finder tool. China Lift Supply stocks these Genie and Universal equivalents in the US to help you avoid the 6-week dealer lead time.
Cross Reference For Hydraulic Components
When a hydraulic hose blows or a holding valve bypasses, your machine is dead in the water. This section tackles the most common hydraulic failure points with direct interchange data for solenoid coils, cylinders, and drive motors. It’s not just about a part that fits; it’s about matching pressure ratings, port thread types (SAE vs. BSPP), and electrical connector styles on the coils. Getting these specs right is the only way to ensure the replacement part performs correctly and safely.
Safety Warning: Always bleed hydraulic system pressure before loosening any fittings. When tightening, refer to your specific service manual for torque values—do not overtighten fittings. This is a rookie mistake that causes leaks and cracked housings.
The Part You Need: Hydraulic & Wear Items
Preventive maintenance is your best defense against downtime. This guide zeroes in on high-turnover items you'll be replacing most often: non-marking tires, complete wheel assemblies, and hydraulic filters. When we list a Genie wheel assembly as a match for a Sinoboom, it means we've confirmed the bolt pattern, hub offset, and load rating are identical. It’s a guaranteed swap. Getting these wear items from a US-based supplier doesn't just simplify your PM schedule—it gets you out of the typical 6-week lead time and cuts costs.
China Lift Supply stocks these Genie-compatible and universal parts in our US warehouse, ready for same-day shipping. Understanding these market dynamics and their impact on parts availability shows why having a domestic source is a massive advantage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Aftermarket Genie Parts Reliable For My Sinoboom Lift?
Yes, if you get them from a supplier who vets them. A quality aftermarket part isn't just a copy; it's engineered to meet or exceed OEM specs. We test every component for material strength, dimensional accuracy, and performance under load. This means you get a dependable alternative that saves you from the brutal six-week OEM lead time without compromising safety.
What If The Part Number On My Old Sinoboom Component Is Gone?
It happens. Grease, rust, and wear obliterate tags. Don't guess. Take clear photos of the part from multiple angles, focusing on electrical connectors, mounting points, and any unique markings. Use our Quick Part Finder to search by your machine's model and visually compare your photos against our product images. If there's any doubt, our tech team can help you nail down the exact component.
Will Using A Genie-Compatible Part Void My Sinoboom Warranty?
If your machine is out of warranty, using quality compatible parts is standard shop practice. If it's still under warranty, check the fine print. However, the reality is when a machine is down and the OEM part is weeks away, a verified compatible part is often the only logical way to get operational. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act also offers protections against a manufacturer denying a claim just because an aftermarket part was used.
