The Genie 231301GT Retract B4 Sheave is a genuine OEM component designed for Genie SX-150 and SX-180 super-boom telescopic lifts. Sourced directly from Genie, this sheave meets the same standards as the part originally installed on the machine, making it a straight swap for the worn or damaged component it replaces. Cross-reference part number 231301GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct sheave for your serial range and configuration before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Genie's dimensional and material specifications, ensuring the sheave seats, grooves, and rotates exactly as the original.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered to install in the retract circuit's sheave position without rework, keeping your repair straightforward and your machine back in service faster.
- Purpose-Built Fitment — Confirmed for the SX-150 and SX-180, Genie's tallest super-boom telescopic lifts, where the retract B4 position is a specific, load-bearing location in the boom's cable and sheave system.
- Structural Integrity Where It Counts — A sheave in good condition guides the retract cable smoothly and evenly, reducing cable wear and maintaining consistent boom movement. A worn or cracked sheave can cause cable fraying, uneven retraction, and premature failure of surrounding components.
- Operational Safety — On a high-reach telescopic boom, proper sheave function is directly tied to controlled boom retraction. Using the correct OEM sheave in this position supports the safe, predictable operation that elevated work demands.
A sheave is a grooved wheel or pulley that guides a cable or rope through a defined path, redirecting load and maintaining even tension as the boom extends and retracts. In the retract circuit of a telescopic boom lift, the B4 sheave carries and routes the retract cable at a specific stage of the boom's travel, keeping movement smooth and cable loads distributed correctly. When a sheave wears, chips, or seizes, the cable can jump its groove, fray at the contact point, or create jerky, uncontrolled boom movement — conditions that require immediate attention on any aerial lift platform.
