The Genie T108880GT is a genuine OEM Wire Rope Thimble, 3/16 designed for Genie AL5 and RL4 light towers, including the RL4 LED Vertical Mast variants. As a factory-sourced replacement, this thimble meets the same dimensional and material standards as the original component it replaces. Confirm part number T108880GT against your machine's parts manual to ensure this is the correct item for your specific unit.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Grade — Manufactured to Genie's dimensional and material specifications for the 3/16 wire rope size, ensuring proper form and fit at the termination point.
- Direct Replacement — Sized and profiled to install in place of the original thimble without modification, maintaining the integrity of the wire rope loop and terminus.
- Broad Variant Coverage — Fits Genie AL5 with Vertical Mast, RL4 Vertical Mast, and RL4 LED Vertical Mast light tower configurations.
- Protects Wire Rope Integrity — A correctly seated thimble prevents the rope from kinking or crushing at the loop, preserving rope strength and extending service life at the termination.
- Operational Safety — On light tower mast systems, a worn or missing thimble can allow the wire rope to deform under load. Replacing a damaged thimble with the correct OEM part restores the designed load-bearing geometry at that connection point.
A wire rope thimble is a grooved, teardrop-shaped insert that fits inside a looped wire rope termination. Its purpose is to protect the rope at the bend point — without a thimble, the tight loop created by a clamp or fastener would pinch and crush the wire strands, weakening the rope over time. On Genie AL5 and RL4 light tower mast assemblies, the thimble maintains the correct bend radius at the rope terminus so the connection carries load as intended. When a thimble becomes deformed, corroded, or missing, the rope loop loses its protected geometry and the effective strength of that termination is compromised — making prompt replacement with the correct part essential.
