The Genie 7-316-412GT Head Rod Seal is a genuine OEM sealing component built for Genie GTH-644, GTH-844, and GTH-842 telehandlers. As a direct OEM replacement, it is manufactured to the same material and dimensional standards as the original part, ensuring a correct fit at the rod-end of the cylinder head. Cross-reference part number 7-316-412GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the right seal for your unit before ordering.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Sealing Material — Manufactured to Genie's original material and compression specifications, delivering the same sealing performance as the part that left the factory.
- Direct Rod-End Fit — Designed to seat correctly at the cylinder head rod position, so installation follows the same procedure as the original component with no rework required.
- Verified GTH Telehandler Fitment — Confirmed for Genie GTH-644, GTH-844, and GTH-842 telehandlers; always cross-reference 7-316-412GT with your parts manual to validate fitment for your specific serial range.
- Prevents Fluid Loss — A sound head rod seal keeps fluid contained within the cylinder. A worn or damaged seal allows fluid to weep past the rod, leading to loss of pressure and reduced cylinder performance.
- Supports Safe Machine Operation — On telehandlers, cylinder integrity is critical to controlled boom and attachment movement. Replacing a failing seal promptly helps maintain the load-handling performance the machine is rated for.
A head rod seal sits at the cylinder head where the rod exits the barrel, forming the primary barrier that keeps fluid inside the cylinder while allowing the rod to move freely. When this seal wears or becomes damaged, fluid escapes past the rod, causing visible weeping, a drop in cylinder pressure, and sluggish or inconsistent boom and attachment response. Replacing the seal with the correct OEM part restores the tight barrier needed for consistent, controlled operation on the GTH-644, GTH-844, and GTH-842.
