The Genie 111608GT is a genuine OEM Header Pipe Weldment designed for Ford 2.3L engine-equipped Genie boom lifts, including the S-40, S-45, and Z-60/34. As a factory-sourced component, this weldment is manufactured to the same specification as the original part, ensuring a direct, trouble-free installation. Cross-reference part number 111608GT against your Genie parts manual to confirm fitment for your specific machine configuration. Built to handle the demands of daily aerial lift operation, this weldment delivers the structural integrity and sealing performance your engine's exhaust system requires.
Key Features
- Factory-Engineered Exhaust Integrity — Manufactured as a genuine OEM weldment, this header pipe is built to the exact material grade and geometry of the original, ensuring proper exhaust flow and joint sealing on Ford 2.3L-powered machines.
- Direct-Mount Replacement — Engineered to align with OEM exhaust port and downstream pipe interfaces, this weldment installs directly onto compatible Ford 2.3L engine configurations without fabrication or adaptation.
- Confirmed Fitment for Genie S and Z Boom Lifts — Fits the S-40, S-45 telescopic booms and the Z-60/34 articulating boom lift, covering a widely fielded range of Genie aerial platforms.
- Sustained Engine Performance — A sound header pipe weldment maintains correct exhaust backpressure and prevents hot-gas leaks that can degrade engine output, accelerate surrounding component wear, and trigger engine faults mid-operation.
- Exhaust Leak Prevention for Safe Operation — On enclosed or partially enclosed platforms, exhaust leaks upstream of the muffler present a genuine hazard to operators. A correctly sealed header pipe weldment keeps combustion gases routed safely away from the work platform.
The header pipe weldment is the fabricated steel assembly that connects the engine's exhaust manifold outlet to the downstream exhaust system — routing hot combustion gases away from the engine bay and toward the muffler. On boom lifts powered by the Ford 2.3L engine, this component must maintain a gas-tight seal under sustained heat cycling and vibration. When the weldment cracks, corrodes, or its flanged joints fail, exhaust gases can escape into the engine compartment, reducing engine efficiency, damaging nearby components, and creating a potential exposure risk for operators on the platform. Replacing a failed weldment promptly restores proper exhaust routing and keeps the machine operating within safe, manufacturer-intended parameters.
