The Genie 796436GT Gas Spring, 16", 60 LBS is a genuine OEM component designed for Genie and Terex portable light towers, including the AL4000, RL4000, TML-4000, AL4, and RL4. As a factory-authorized part, it is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring a direct, correct-fit replacement. Cross-reference part number 796436GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the right item for your specific unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Genie's original specifications, delivering the correct 60 LBS of force and 16" stroke length for a true like-for-like replacement.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Engineered to install in the original mounting position without modification, restoring the assembly to its designed operating condition.
- Broad Light Tower Compatibility — Fits AL4000, RL4000, TML-4000, AL4, and RL4 light towers, covering multiple Genie and Terex portable lighting equipment families.
- Consistent Lift and Hold Performance — A properly functioning gas spring provides smooth, controlled movement and holds components securely in position. A weakened or failed spring can cause uncontrolled movement and prevent the assembly from staying open during servicing or operation.
- Operational Safety — On light tower equipment, gas springs support panels and access components that technicians work around during maintenance. Replacing a fatigued spring with a correct OEM unit helps ensure components stay supported and do not drop unexpectedly.
A gas spring uses pressurized gas sealed within a cylinder to provide a controlled, consistent extension force — in this case 60 LBS across a 16" stroke. On light tower equipment, gas springs are commonly used to support hinged panels, canopies, or lamp-head assemblies, holding them open under load so operators and technicians can work safely beneath them. When a gas spring loses its charge or develops a leak, it can no longer hold its load, causing the supported component to drop or become difficult to operate. Replacing it with the correct OEM part restores the intended force rating and keeps the assembly functioning as designed.
