The Genie 7-316-412GT is a genuine OEM Head Rod Seal built for the Genie GTH-844 telehandler. As a genuine Genie part, it is manufactured to the exact material grade and dimensional tolerances of the original component, ensuring a correct fit when servicing the cylinder it seals. Cross-reference part number 7-316-412GT against your GTH-844 parts manual to confirm it is the right seal for your specific unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Grade — Manufactured to Genie's original sealing material specification, delivering the same compression characteristics and dimensional conformity as the factory-installed component.
- Exact-Fit Replacement — Engineered to the precise dimensions of the original head rod seal, allowing straightforward installation without modification during cylinder service.
- GTH-844 Fitment Confirmed — Designed specifically for the Genie GTH-844 telehandler; verify part number 7-316-412GT against your machine's parts manual before ordering.
- Fluid Retention — A sound head rod seal keeps fluid within the cylinder circuit; a worn or damaged seal allows fluid to weep past the rod, leading to reduced cylinder performance and potential fluid loss.
- Operational Safety — Maintaining an intact cylinder seal is critical on a telehandler, where cylinder integrity directly affects boom extension and load-handling control.
A head rod seal sits at the gland end of a cylinder, forming a dynamic seal around the cylinder rod as it extends and retracts. Its job is to prevent fluid from escaping along the rod while keeping contaminants from entering the cylinder bore. When this seal wears, hardens, or is damaged, fluid begins to weep past the rod, the cylinder loses holding force, and the machine may drift or fail to hold position under load. Replacing a faulty head rod seal with the correct OEM part restores cylinder integrity and ensures the GTH-844 telehandler performs as designed.
