Key Features
- Genuine OEM Quality — Manufactured to Genie's original specifications for dimensional accuracy and material grade, so every component in the kit matches what left the factory.
- Complete Kit — Includes all required components for a full pintle hook hitch installation or restoration, minimizing additional sourcing and keeping the job moving.
- Direct Replacement Fit — Engineered specifically for GTH series telehandlers, this kit installs against the same mounting points as the original assembly without modification.
- Broad GTH Compatibility — Fits the GTH-636, GTH-844, and GTH-1056, covering three of Genie's most widely used telehandler models.
- Towing Integrity — A properly functioning pintle hook hitch is essential for secure trailer connections. Replacing worn or damaged hitch components with an OEM kit restores safe, confident towing capability.
- Operational Safety — Hitch hardware is a load-bearing towing component. Using a genuine OEM kit ensures the connection point meets the original design load rating for the machine.
A pintle hook hitch allows a telehandler to tow trailers and attachments on the jobsite by providing a secure, positive coupling point at the rear of the machine. The hitch assembly absorbs towing loads and keeps the trailer locked to the machine during travel. When hitch components wear, corrode, or become damaged, the connection can loosen or fail entirely, creating a towing hazard and taking the machine out of service. Replacing the assembly with a complete OEM kit restores the original coupling geometry and load-bearing integrity to the tow point.
