The Genie 88796GT is a genuine OEM Retraction Cable Equalizer Plate built for Genie S-65 XC and S-80 J telescopic boom lifts. Sourced directly from Genie, this plate meets the same specifications as the original component installed at the factory. It is a direct replacement for the worn or damaged plate on the listed machines, and fitment should be confirmed against your machine's parts manual using part number 88796GT before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Genie's original dimensional and material specifications, ensuring the plate seats and functions exactly as designed for the retraction cable system.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to match the original mounting points and geometry on S-65 XC and S-80 J booms, so installation is straightforward with no rework.
- Correct Fitment for S-Series Telescopic Booms — Confirmed for Genie S-65 XC and S-80 J models; cross-reference part number 88796GT with your parts manual to verify applicability to your serial number range.
- Maintains Cable Load Distribution — A properly functioning equalizer plate distributes tension evenly across the retraction cables; a worn or cracked plate can cause uneven cable loading and erratic boom retraction.
- Operational Safety — Even cable tension is critical to controlled boom movement on aerial lifts; replacing a failed equalizer plate with the correct OEM component supports safe, consistent boom operation at height.
The retraction cable equalizer plate sits at the point where retraction cables converge on a telescopic boom, distributing the load evenly so that each cable section carries its share of tension during boom retraction. When the plate is worn, cracked, or deformed, that load distribution becomes uneven, placing excess stress on individual cable sections and causing the boom to retract unevenly or hesitantly. Replacing a damaged plate promptly with the correct OEM component restores balanced cable tension and smooth, predictable boom operation.
