Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Genie's original specifications, with dimensional and material conformity that aftermarket alternatives may not match.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Designed to install in place of the original cylinder on the GTH-1256 AF, with no alterations needed to mounting points or connections.
- Correct Fitment for the GTH-1256 AF — Sourced specifically for the Genie GTH-1256 AF telehandler; cross-reference part number 53.0700.0307GT with your parts manual to confirm applicability to your unit.
- Axle Stability When It Matters — A functioning rear axle locking cylinder keeps the rear axle fixed during lifting operations, which is critical to maintaining machine stability under load. A failed or leaking cylinder compromises that rigidity and can affect safe machine operation.
The rear axle locking cylinder controls whether the rear axle is free to oscillate or locked solid. On a telehandler, the axle is typically allowed to float when traveling over uneven ground to maintain four-wheel contact, but is locked in place during lifting and load-handling to provide a stable, level platform. When this cylinder fails — through seal wear, fluid loss, or mechanical damage — the axle may not lock correctly, reducing stability under load. Replacing it with the correct OEM component, Genie part number 53.0700.0307GT, restores the intended locking function and keeps the GTH-1256 AF operating as designed.
