Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Genie's original specifications for dimensional accuracy and material grade, ensuring this cylinder meets the same standards as the part it replaces.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Designed to install in place of the original cylinder with no cutting, adapting, or reworking required on compatible machines.
- Confirmed Fitment — Built for Genie GTH telehandlers, with verified compatibility on the GTH-5519 and GTH-2506 AU.3.
- Restored Tilt Function — A worn or damaged tilt cylinder compromises the machine's ability to angle its carriage and attachment correctly; replacing it with the correct OEM component restores precise, controlled tilt movement.
- Operational Safety — The tilt cylinder is a critical component in positioning loads accurately on a telehandler. A failed cylinder can lead to loss of attachment control, making timely replacement with a genuine part an important safety consideration.
The tilt cylinder on a telehandler controls the forward and backward angle of the carriage and attachment — allowing the operator to crowd or dump a load, position a pallet precisely, or keep a bucket level during travel and lift. When this cylinder develops a leak or fails to hold its position, the machine loses the ability to control attachment angle reliably, which affects both load handling accuracy and safe operation. Replacing a failed cylinder with the correct OEM part restores full tilt control and keeps the machine performing as designed.
