The Genie T108880GT is a genuine OEM Wire Rope Thimble, 3/16 designed for Genie and Terex portable light towers, including the RL4000, TML-4000, AL5 with Vertical Mast, and RL4 series. As a direct OEM replacement, this thimble delivers an exact match to the original hardware, ensuring the wire rope termination on your vertical mast system performs exactly as Genie engineered it. Cross-reference part number T108880GT against your parts manual to confirm fitment for your specific unit before ordering.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Groove Profile — Manufactured to the same groove radius and material spec as the original, so the 3/16 wire rope seats correctly without deformation at the termination point.
- Drop-In Mast Cable Replacement — Installs at the wire rope end fitting on the vertical mast assembly with no reworking of the cable or anchor hardware.
- Broad Light Tower Compatibility — Fits Genie RL4, RL4000, AL5, and Terex TML-4000 portable light towers, covering a wide range of jobsite lighting units in a single part.
- Protects Wire Rope Integrity — A correctly sized thimble prevents the loop from collapsing under load, preserving wire rope strength and extending service life at the termination.
- Mast Raise Safety — The wire rope and its termination hardware are load-bearing elements of the vertical mast lift system. Using the correct OEM thimble maintains the structural integrity of the mast raise mechanism during operation.
A wire rope thimble is a grooved metal insert that lines the inside of a looped wire rope eye, preventing the rope from bending sharply around a fastener or anchor pin. On vertical mast light towers, the wire rope is responsible for raising and holding the mast head at height — the thimble protects the loop at the termination from crushing or kinking under that load. When a thimble is missing, worn, or undersized, the wire rope loop deforms, reducing its rated strength and creating a risk of mast failure during raising or lowering.
