The Genie 161998GT is a genuine OEM RT Foam Fill Right Wheel/Tire designed for the GTH-1256 and GTH-1544 telehandlers. As a direct Genie OEM component, this wheel and tire assembly is built to the exact specifications required for these rough-terrain machines, ensuring proper fitment without guesswork. Cross-reference part number 161998GT against your parts manual to confirm this is the correct right-side assembly for your unit. Built for demanding jobsite conditions, this part delivers the structural integrity and traction performance these telehandlers depend on.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Foam-filled tire eliminates the risk of flats and pressure loss, maintaining consistent load-bearing performance that a pneumatic tire cannot guarantee on rough terrain.
- Right-Side Specific Fitment — Engineered as the right-hand wheel and tire assembly; installs directly to the correct axle position on compatible Genie telehandlers without modification.
- Verified Telehandler Compatibility — Fits GTH-1256 and GTH-1544 telehandlers; confirm your model and side before ordering to ensure the correct assembly.
- Rough-Terrain Ready — The foam-fill construction absorbs impact and resists puncture on uneven, debris-heavy surfaces, keeping traction and stability consistent under load.
- Operational Safety on Elevated Loads — A compromised or failed wheel assembly on a telehandler carrying elevated loads presents a serious stability risk; replacing with a genuine OEM assembly restores the structural baseline the machine was designed around.
A foam-filled wheel and tire assembly replaces the air in a conventional pneumatic tire with a solid polyurethane or foam compound, eliminating the possibility of deflation during operation. On rough-terrain telehandlers like the GTH-1256 and GTH-1544, this is critical — these machines carry heavy loads at height across uneven ground where a flat tire could compromise stability and operator safety. When a foam-fill assembly is damaged, cracked, or worn unevenly, it must be replaced promptly to maintain the machine's rated load capacity and traction on grade.
