The Genie 88568GT is a genuine OEM Retract Cable Sheave (Smaller) built for Genie S-series telescopic boom lifts, including S-60, S-65, S-80, and S-85 models across multiple configurations. As a direct OEM replacement, this sheave is manufactured to the same specification as the original component, ensuring correct cable routing geometry and a proper drop-in installation. Verified fitment spans a wide range of S-series variants — including XC, TRAX, HF, HC, XC FE, XC E, and J configurations — so cross-reference part number 88568GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct sheave for your unit.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Genie's original dimensional and material specification, ensuring the sheave groove profile and bore dimensions match the retract cable and mounting point exactly as designed.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Installs in place of the original component without modification, restoring the correct cable path on the boom assembly.
- Broad S-Series Fitment — Compatible with a wide range of S-60, S-65, S-80, and S-85 telescopic boom variants, including XC, TRAX, HF, HC, J, XC FE, and XC E configurations. Always verify against your parts manual before ordering.
- Smooth Cable Tracking — A correctly functioning sheave guides the retract cable evenly, preventing uneven wear, fraying, or binding that can compromise boom retraction performance.
- Operational Integrity — A worn or damaged cable sheave can cause erratic boom movement and accelerated cable wear. Replacing it promptly with the correct OEM part keeps the boom retract function operating as intended.
A retract cable sheave is a pulley that guides the retract cable as it runs through the boom structure, redirecting the cable's path so retraction force is applied correctly and consistently. When the sheave wears or its groove becomes damaged, the cable can slip, wear unevenly, or bind — leading to sluggish or uncontrolled boom retraction. Replacing a worn sheave restores proper cable alignment and protects the cable itself from premature failure.
