The Globe 43812 hydraulic valve is the direct replacement for the Globe lift it came off of. Cross-referenced as ALS-9440-06, it is the genuine Globe part — same part number, same fit, and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the Globe hydraulic valve from us gets you the OEM piece that matches the lift, not an aftermarket knock-off that is close but not the same. Specifications Part number: ALS-9440-06 Brand: Globe Type: Genuine OEM hydraulic valve The lowering valve (release valve, dump valve) is the solenoid or manual valve on the pump that opens to let fluid flow back to the reservoir when you lower the lift. When it fails it either leaks internally and the lift descends by itself with a car on it, or it sticks and the lift will not lower at all. Diagnosis: raise the lift to max height and watch. If it drifts to the locks in less than an hour with no external leaks, the lowering valve is the answer.

Before you order, find the model plate on the lift — on most 2-post lifts it rides on one of the columns at eye level, on 4-post lifts it is usually on a column or the power-unit side runway — and note the full model number and serial. The serial dates the lift to a production run, and that is what decides which revision fits. If the plate is painted over or missing, take a photo of the part you are replacing next to a tape measure and send it to us. Between the dimensions, the mounting pattern, and what lift it came off of, we can almost always identify the exact part before you spend money on the wrong one. Check while the valve is out Pump face and threads — clean, no burrs Solenoid coil and wiring (if electric) — melted lug ends, corrosion Handle and pivot (if manual) — not sticky, not bent Check valve, if separate — a failing check valve on the pressure side gives the same "lift drops on its own" symptom, so verify the lowering valve is actually the problem The valve o-ring seals on hydraulic oil. Use ISO-32, ATF, grease, or vaseline as installation lubricant — not thread sealant, which will end up in the hydraulic system. 10 seconds on the release lever after the lift is down. Not 3, not 5 — 10. A pressurized valve backing out under impact torque will hurt someone.
