The Genie 25971GT is a genuine OEM Tiltback Shock Assembly designed for the Genie AWP series push-around personnel lifts. As a factory-original component, this part is manufactured to the same specifications as the unit that came on your machine, ensuring a consistent, correct-fitting replacement every time. Cross-reference part number 25971GT against your Genie parts manual to confirm compatibility with your specific AWP model before ordering. When the tiltback shock shows signs of wear or loss of resistance, replacing it promptly keeps the mast operating as intended and the unit safe to use.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Factory-original shock assembly calibrated to deliver the correct damping resistance for the AWP mast tiltback mechanism — not a generic substitute.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered to bolt into the existing tiltback mounting points on the AWP mast without alteration, matching the original attachment hardware and geometry.
- AWP Series Compatibility — Fits Genie AWP push-around personnel lifts; reference part number 25971GT against your serial-number parts breakdown to confirm your specific unit.
- Controlled Mast Lowering — A properly functioning shock absorber governs the speed and smoothness of the mast tiltback motion, preventing abrupt or uncontrolled movement during repositioning.
- Operator Safety Consideration — The tiltback shock is directly involved in controlled mast handling. A worn or failed unit can cause the mast to drop or tilt without adequate resistance, creating a hazard during transport and setup.
The tiltback shock assembly on a Genie AWP personnel lift is a hydraulic or gas-charged damper that controls the rate at which the mast tilts back into its transport or storage position. It acts as a cushion against sudden movement, absorbing the energy of the mast as it lowers so the motion remains smooth and manageable for the operator. When this component loses its damping capacity — through seal wear, fluid loss, or physical damage — the mast can become difficult to control during tiltback, increasing the risk of impact to the machine or injury to the operator.
