The Genie 88568GT is a genuine OEM Retract Cable Sheave (Smaller) built for Genie S-60, S-65, S-65 XC, S-85 XC, and S-80 J telescopic boom lifts. As a direct OEM replacement, this sheave is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring a correct fit and consistent operation in the retract cable system. Cross-reference part number 88568GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm this is the correct sheave for your unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Genie's original specifications, with the dimensional accuracy and material grade required for correct cable tracking and long service life.
- Direct OEM Replacement — This sheave installs in place of the original component with no modification, restoring the retract cable circuit to its designed operating condition.
- Broad Telescopic Boom Fitment — Compatible with multiple Genie S-series telescopic boom lifts, including the S-60, S-65, S-65 XC, S-85 XC, and S-80 J.
- Smooth Cable Guidance — A correctly functioning sheave keeps the retract cable properly seated and moving freely; a worn or damaged sheave causes cable misalignment, fraying, and compromised boom retraction.
- Operational Safety — The retract cable sheave is a load-bearing component in the boom's cable system; replacing a worn sheave with the correct OEM part supports safe, controlled boom operation at height.
A sheave is a grooved pulley wheel that guides and redirects a cable under tension. In a telescopic boom lift, the retract cable sheave routes the retract cable as the boom sections extend and retract, maintaining proper tension and alignment throughout the boom's range of travel. When a sheave wears, develops flat spots, or becomes damaged, the cable can slip out of its groove, causing uneven wear on the cable itself and potentially preventing the boom from retracting smoothly — making prompt replacement with the correct OEM sheave essential for dependable operation.
