Key Features
- Genuine OEM Cylinder Tolerancing — Sourced directly from Genie, this wear ring and head are manufactured to the exact material hardness and dimensional profile required for proper cylinder bore alignment and sealing.
- Direct Cylinder Assembly Fit — Engineered to seat correctly within the cylinder housing, this component installs without rework or modification to the bore or rod assembly.
- Broad GTH Telehandler Coverage — Compatible with the GTH-644, GTH-844, GTH-842, GTH-1048, and GTH-1056, making it a dependable stock item for fleets running multiple GTH models.
- Sustained Hydraulic Cylinder Function — A properly seated wear ring and head keeps the cylinder rod guided and supported under load, maintaining smooth, controlled boom extension and lift travel across demanding telehandler applications.
- Load-Handling Safety Integrity — On a telehandler, cylinder wear directly affects load control and boom stability. Replacing a worn or damaged wear ring and head with a genuine OEM part restores the structural integrity of the hydraulic system at a critical point.
A wear ring and head assembly serves as the primary guidance and containment components at the end of a hydraulic cylinder. The wear ring keeps the piston rod centered within the cylinder bore, preventing metal-to-metal contact that would score the rod or damage the barrel over time. The head seals and supports the rod as it extends and retracts, containing hydraulic pressure within the cylinder. When either component wears, the cylinder may develop side play, leak hydraulic fluid, or lose its ability to hold a load at full extension — all conditions that compromise the safe and effective operation of the machine.
