The Genie 161406GT Gas Strut, 160 LB Force, 19" EXT is a genuine OEM component designed for the Genie GTH-844 telehandler. Sourced directly from Genie, this strut meets the original equipment specification for force output and extended length, ensuring the part performs exactly as the machine was engineered to operate. Cross-reference part number 161406GT against your GTH-844 parts manual to confirm it is the correct strut for your unit before ordering.
Key Features
- OEM-Specified Force Rating — Built to the original 160 LB force rating, so the strut delivers the resistance and support the machine was designed around — not an approximation.
- Exact Extended Length — Manufactured to the 19" extended dimension, ensuring the strut seats and travels correctly in the original mounting without adjustment.
- Direct OEM Replacement — A genuine Genie part that installs in place of the original with no re-engineering, maintaining the integrity of the assembly it supports.
- Genuine Genie Quality — Produced to Genie's OEM standards for material grade and dimensional conformity, giving you confidence the replacement will perform as the original did.
- GTH-844 Fitment — Confirmed for the Genie GTH-844 telehandler; always verify the part number against your serial-number-specific parts manual before ordering.
A gas strut uses compressed gas sealed inside a cylinder to generate a controlled, consistent outward force along its travel. On equipment like the GTH-844 telehandler, gas struts are commonly used to assist in opening and holding access panels, engine hoods, or doors in the raised position, counterbalancing their weight so they stay open safely during inspection and service. When a gas strut loses its charge or develops a seal leak, it can no longer hold a panel open under load — creating a drop hazard and making routine service work more difficult and less safe. Replacing a failed strut with the correct OEM part restores the intended holding force and travel length, keeping access points secure and operable as designed.
