Key Features
- Genuine OEM Quality — Sourced directly from Genie, this service kit meets the same dimensional and material standards as the original lift cylinder components, ensuring seals and related parts seat and perform correctly.
- Exact OEM Fit — Engineered specifically for the lift cylinder on covered GTH telehandler models, this kit installs using the same procedure and hardware as the original assembly.
- Confirmed Fitment — Designed for Genie GTH-644, GTH-844, and GTH-842 telehandlers; always verify part number 228986GT against your serial number and parts manual before ordering.
- Restores Cylinder Function — A worn or leaking lift cylinder compromises the telehandler's ability to raise and position loads safely; servicing with the correct OEM kit restores proper cylinder operation.
- Operational Safety — The lift cylinder is a load-bearing component on an aerial telehandler; using a correctly specified OEM service kit supports the structural and functional integrity of the lift system.
A lift cylinder service kit contains the seals, rings, and wear components needed to rebuild a cylinder that has developed internal leakage or reduced performance. Over time, seals within a lift cylinder degrade from pressure cycling, contamination, or age, causing fluid bypass that weakens lift force and can result in slow or drifting boom movement. Servicing the cylinder with the correct OEM kit — rather than individual aftermarket components — ensures every element in the assembly is matched to the cylinder's original tolerances, restoring consistent, controlled lift performance to the machine.
