The Genie 1260161GT is a genuine OEM Clockwise Tank Side Baffle Plate Weldment designed for Genie SX-series super-boom telescopic lifts, including the SX-150, SX-180, and SX-135 XC. As a direct OEM replacement, this weldment is manufactured to the same specifications as the original component, ensuring a proper fit within the hydraulic tank assembly. Cross-reference part number 1260161GT against your parts manual to confirm this is the correct component for your machine before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Fabricated to the same weld and material standards as the original, ensuring the baffle plate seats and seals correctly within the hydraulic tank enclosure.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered to drop into the existing tank assembly on compatible SX-series machines without additional fabrication or modification to the mounting points.
- SX Super-Boom Compatibility — Confirmed fitment for the SX-150, SX-180, and SX-135 XC telescopic boom lifts — Genie's highest-reaching straight-boom platforms.
- Hydraulic System Integrity — A correctly installed baffle plate maintains proper fluid flow and separation within the hydraulic tank, helping sustain consistent pressure and protecting downstream components from turbulence-related wear.
- Operational Safety on High-Reach Booms — On machines operating at extreme heights, a compromised hydraulic tank baffle can introduce aeration and pressure instability into the lift system. Replacing a damaged weldment restores the hydraulic system's designed behavior and supports safe, predictable machine operation.
A tank side baffle plate weldment is a structural internal component of the hydraulic fluid reservoir. Its primary role is to separate zones within the tank, dampening fluid turbulence as hydraulic oil returns from the system. This separation allows entrained air to dissipate before the oil is drawn back into the pump circuit, which protects pump efficiency and prolongs the life of hydraulic seals and valves. When a baffle plate weldment is cracked, corroded, or missing, the tank loses its ability to condition returning fluid properly — leading to aeration, erratic cylinder response, and accelerated wear throughout the hydraulic circuit.
