The Genie 234968GT Perkins 1104D Starter, 5KW is a genuine OEM starter built for the Genie GTH-1056 telehandler. As a direct OEM replacement, this starter is sourced and supplied to the exact specification Genie requires for this machine, so you can be confident it is the correct part for your unit. Cross-reference part number 234968GT against your GTH-1056 parts manual before ordering to confirm it matches your serial range and engine configuration.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Electrical Specification — Supplied to the correct 5KW output rating required by the Perkins 1104D engine, ensuring the starter delivers the cranking power the engine needs at every start cycle.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Engineered to mount and connect exactly as the original, with correct drive engagement geometry for the Perkins 1104D ring gear.
- Confirmed Fitment — Validated for the Genie GTH-1056 telehandler; cross-reference part number 234968GT with your parts manual to verify applicability to your specific unit.
- Dependable Engine Starting — A correctly rated starter spins the engine to the threshold RPM needed for ignition. A worn or undersized starter causes hard starts, battery drain, and engine start failures that take a machine out of service.
- Operational Safety — Reliable engine starting is foundational to machine operation on a GTH telehandler; an OEM-spec starter eliminates the risk of intermittent start faults that can strand a machine mid-shift.
A starter is the electric motor responsible for cranking the engine from rest to the speed needed for combustion to take place. On the Perkins 1104D-powered GTH-1056 telehandler, the starter engages a drive gear against the engine's ring gear, spins it to the required cranking speed, then disengages automatically once the engine fires. When a starter begins to fail, symptoms include slow or labored cranking, intermittent no-start conditions, and audible clicking without engine turnover — all of which signal the unit needs to be replaced promptly to keep the machine operational.
