The Genie 7-316-50GT is a genuine OEM Wear Ring designed for the GTH-1048 and GTH-1056 telehandlers. Sourced directly from Genie, this component delivers an exact match to the original specification, ensuring correct fitment within the hydraulic cylinder assembly without any guesswork. Cross-reference part number 7-316-50GT against your parts manual to confirm compatibility with your machine's configuration before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Grade — Manufactured to Genie's original compound and dimensional specification, ensuring the ring seats and compresses correctly within the cylinder bore.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered to drop into the existing cylinder assembly on GTH-1048 and GTH-1056 telehandlers, matching the original profile and groove dimensions.
- Telehandler-Specific Fitment — Confirmed fit for the GTH-1048 and GTH-1056, two of Genie's heavy-duty telescopic handler models used across construction and industrial applications.
- Protects Cylinder Integrity — A correctly functioning wear ring keeps the piston centered and prevents metal-to-metal contact inside the cylinder, preserving bore condition and extending overall cylinder service life.
- Critical for Boom Stability — On a telehandler, hydraulic cylinder performance directly affects boom control and load handling precision. A worn or failed wear ring can introduce cylinder slop, causing irregular boom movement and compromising safe load placement.
A wear ring is a low-friction guide ring fitted around the piston or rod within a hydraulic cylinder. Its primary job is to keep the moving components aligned inside the cylinder barrel, preventing metal contact that would score the bore and accelerate seal wear. On a telehandler like the GTH-1048 or GTH-1056, the boom and lift cylinders endure significant side-loading during telescoping and load-carrying operations, making the wear ring an essential buffer component. When this ring degrades or breaks down, hydraulic seals are exposed to uneven stress, leading to fluid leaks, loss of lift force, and erratic boom response — symptoms that signal it is time to replace the wear ring before further internal damage occurs.
