The Genie 97216GT Tension Spring is a genuine OEM component built for TZ-50/30 and TZ-50 trailer-mounted articulating boom lifts. As a direct OEM replacement, this spring is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring it seats and performs exactly as intended. Cross-reference part number 97216GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct spring for your unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Genie's original material and dimensional specifications, so this spring delivers the correct tension load without compromise.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Drops in as a like-for-like swap on TZ-50/30 and TZ-50 trailer-mounted booms, requiring no adaptation or rework during installation.
- Verified Model Fitment — Confirmed for the TZ-50/30 and TZ-50, two of Genie's trailer-mounted articulating boom lift models used widely in commercial and industrial access work.
- Consistent Tension Output — A correctly rated tension spring maintains the mechanical resistance the assembly depends on. A worn or stretched spring loses holding force, which can lead to slack, misalignment, or erratic component behavior.
- Backed by Genie OEM Sourcing — Supplied as a genuine Genie part through DHS Equipment, giving you confidence in part authenticity and long-term durability.
A tension spring stores and releases mechanical energy by resisting stretching forces, pulling connected components back toward each other when load is applied. On trailer-mounted boom lifts such as the TZ-50/30 and TZ-50, tension springs are used to maintain consistent mechanical preload on linkages and return mechanisms throughout the boom's range of motion. When a tension spring fatigues, stretches beyond its rated length, or breaks, the assembly it supports loses proper resistance — resulting in sloppy movement, incomplete return travel, or added stress on surrounding components. Replacing a failed spring promptly with the correct OEM part restores the intended mechanical behavior and prevents secondary wear.
