The Genie 7-316-361GT is a genuine OEM Wear Ring / Piston designed for the GTH-1048 and GTH-1056 telehandlers. Sourced directly from Genie, this component meets the exact tolerances and material specifications required for proper cylinder operation on these machines. It is a direct-fit replacement that installs into the hydraulic cylinder assembly without modification, restoring the cylinder to correct operating condition. If your GTH-1048 or GTH-1056 is showing signs of hydraulic drift, reduced lifting force, or internal cylinder leakage, this is the part to address the root cause.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Grade — Manufactured to Genie's specified material hardness and dimensional tolerances, ensuring the piston seals and guides correctly within the cylinder bore without premature wear.
- Direct Cylinder Assembly Fit — Engineered to seat precisely within the hydraulic cylinder of the GTH-1048 and GTH-1056, aligning with existing bore dimensions and retaining hardware.
- Telehandler-Specific Fitment — Confirmed fit for Genie GTH-1048 and GTH-1056 telescopic handler models; cross-reference part number 7-316-361GT against your machine's parts manual before ordering.
- Restores Full Hydraulic Force — A worn or damaged wear ring or piston allows internal bypass, causing load drift and reduced boom extension force. Replacing this component recovers the cylinder's designed lifting and extension capacity.
- Load-Handling Safety — On a telehandler, hydraulic cylinder integrity directly affects load control and boom stability. Maintaining this component in serviceable condition is essential for safe material-handling operations.
A wear ring and piston work together inside a hydraulic cylinder to guide piston travel and maintain the pressure differential needed to generate force. The wear ring centers the piston within the cylinder bore, preventing metal-to-metal contact that would score the bore walls, while the piston itself transfers hydraulic pressure into linear movement — extending or retracting the boom. When the wear ring becomes worn or the piston is damaged, internal fluid bypasses the seal, leading to cylinder drift, sluggish boom response, and reduced lifting capacity. Replacing this assembly component with the correct OEM part restores the cylinder's ability to hold and move loads precisely and safely.
