The Genie 117180GT Tilt Extension Tube Assembly is a genuine OEM component designed for the GTH-1048 and GTH-1056 telescopic handler models. Sourced directly from Genie, this assembly carries the same specifications as the part it replaces, ensuring a correct fit within the boom's tilt circuit without rework or improvisation. Cross-reference part number 117180GT against your parts manual to confirm applicability before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hydraulic Integrity — Manufactured to Genie's original tube and fitting specifications, maintaining correct flow path geometry and pressure ratings throughout the tilt circuit.
- Direct-Fit Assembly — Engineered to connect at the same mounting points as the original, with matching end fittings and tube routing so installation follows the existing layout.
- Confirmed GTH Telehandler Fitment — Verified for the GTH-1048 and GTH-1056 telescopic handlers; verify your model and serial number against part number 117180GT before ordering.
- Tilt System Responsiveness — A correctly functioning tilt extension tube maintains smooth, consistent carriage tilt operation, essential for precise load placement at height and extended reach.
- Operational Safety — In a telehandler's tilt circuit, a compromised tube assembly can cause erratic or failed tilt control while loads are elevated — using a genuine replacement maintains the hydraulic integrity that safe load handling depends on.
The tilt extension tube assembly carries hydraulic fluid between the tilt control valve and the tilt cylinder on the boom carriage, enabling the forks or attachment to angle forward and back. This movement is critical for leveling loads on uneven ground and positioning material accurately during placement. When this tube assembly develops a leak or suffers mechanical damage, tilt function can become sluggish, uncontrolled, or entirely lost — conditions that compromise both productivity and safe load management on the jobsite.
