The Genie 7-316-232GT is a genuine OEM Wear Ring designed for Genie GTH-series telehandlers, including the GTH-644, GTH-844, and GTH-842. Sourced directly from Genie, this part meets the same specifications as the component installed at the factory, ensuring a correct, trouble-free installation. It is engineered specifically for the hydraulic cylinder assemblies found on these telehandler models, making it a straightforward service replacement when wear or leakage is detected. Cross-reference part number 7-316-232GT against your Genie parts manual to confirm fitment before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to the same material grade and dimensional tolerances as the original, maintaining proper cylinder bore clearance and sealing geometry specific to these GTH telehandler cylinders.
- Direct Cylinder Replacement — Sized to drop into the hydraulic cylinder assembly without reworking the bore, piston, or end caps — install goes smoothly when the worn ring is swapped out.
- Confirmed Telehandler Fitment — Verified for the GTH-644, GTH-844, and GTH-842, three of the most widely operated Genie telescopic handlers in the field.
- Protects Cylinder Integrity — A properly functioning wear ring keeps the piston centered and moving smoothly, preventing metal-to-metal contact that scores cylinder walls and causes costly cylinder failure.
- Safety-Critical Hydraulic Function — Hydraulic cylinder integrity directly affects boom extension, load control, and machine stability on telehandlers — a worn or failed ring can compromise safe load handling and precise boom positioning.
A wear ring is a low-friction guide ring that centers the piston within the hydraulic cylinder barrel, maintaining a consistent running clearance between moving parts. It absorbs lateral side loads on the piston during cylinder extension and retraction, preventing metal contact that would damage the cylinder bore and piston rod. When a wear ring degrades — through abrasion, compression set, or contamination — it allows the piston to shift off-center, accelerating seal wear, causing hydraulic drift, and ultimately leading to cylinder leakage or internal scoring that requires far more extensive repair.
