The Genie 7-316-233GT is a genuine OEM Wear Ring designed for Genie GTH-series telehandlers, including the GTH-644, GTH-844, and GTH-842. As a direct OEM replacement, this component is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring a proper fit within the hydraulic cylinder assembly of your machine. Cross-reference part number 7-316-233GT against your parts manual to confirm fitment before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Grade — Produced to the same material and dimensional tolerances as the original, maintaining the correct sealing surface contact critical for hydraulic cylinder integrity.
- Direct Cylinder Replacement — Sized to drop into the cylinder bore without reworking or shimming, restoring the original guided travel of the piston rod.
- Confirmed GTH Telehandler Fitment — Compatible with the GTH-644, GTH-844, and GTH-842, covering key models in the Genie telescopic handler lineup.
- Maintains Smooth Cylinder Operation — A correctly functioning wear ring keeps the piston rod centered and moving freely; a worn ring allows metal-to-metal contact that accelerates seal failure and cylinder damage.
- Protects Adjacent Seals — By absorbing side-load forces within the cylinder, this component shields the primary rod seals from premature wear, extending the full service life of the cylinder assembly.
A wear ring is a low-friction guide band fitted inside a hydraulic cylinder that keeps the piston rod or piston centered within the cylinder bore during extension and retraction. It absorbs the lateral and radial loads that build up during normal machine operation, preventing the rod and cylinder walls from making direct contact. When a wear ring degrades or becomes grooved, it allows the rod to shift off-center, which puts uneven stress on the rod seals and can lead to hydraulic fluid leaks, reduced lift and reach performance, and accelerated internal cylinder damage if not addressed promptly.
