Cross-reference part number 796436GT against your unit's parts manual before ordering to confirm this is the right component for your application.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Quality — Manufactured to Genie's original specifications with correct 60 lb load rating and 16" stroke, ensuring dimensional conformity to the original component.
- Exact OEM Replacement — Replaces the original gas spring directly, with matching mounting geometry and load characteristics for a straightforward swap.
- Broad Light Tower Fitment — Compatible with AL4000, AL4, and RL4 Genie and Terex portable light towers; verify part number 796436GT against your parts manual before ordering.
- Consistent Assisted Lift — A correctly functioning gas spring provides smooth, controlled resistance when raising or lowering the light mast or access panels. A worn or failed unit can make operation unpredictable and difficult.
- Long-Term Serviceability — OEM construction ensures the spring retains its rated force output over repeated cycles, maintaining safe and consistent operation of the component it supports.
A gas spring is a sealed pneumatic device that uses compressed gas to provide a controlled, consistent pushing or damping force over a fixed stroke length. On portable light towers, gas springs are commonly used to assist with raising and holding mast sections, canopy panels, or access covers in position. When a gas spring loses pressure or fails, the supported component may drop unexpectedly or become difficult to raise, creating a safety concern for the operator. Replacing a worn unit with the correct OEM part — with the right stroke length and load rating — restores smooth, predictable operation.
