Cable Track (Plated, 117 Links) 73998GT – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
Buy the Genie Cable Track 73998GT (117 Links) replacement. Heavy-duty plated steel energy chain for S-Series and Z-Series Boom Lifts. Protects hydraulic hoses.
The Cable Track Assembly (also known as an Energy Chain or GN-POWER TRACK) with Genie Part Numbers 73998 and 73998GT is a heavy-duty, plated metallic assembly. Although sometimes cross-referenced as a JLG part due to multi-brand supplier listings, this is primarily a Genie component. This large assembly is designed for high-stress applications on the boom structure of various Genie Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs).
The assembly typically consists of 117 plated links, making it a long section used to house, protect, and guide the hydraulic hoses and electrical cables that run along a significant length of the extending boom. The plated steel construction provides superior protection against impact, abrasion, and environmental factors compared to standard plastic tracks.
This heavy-duty cable track is essential for ensuring the longevity and continuous, reliable operation of the lift’s critical hydraulic and electrical lines. Replacing a damaged or failing track with the 73998GT is mandatory to prevent costly downtime and hose/wire rupture.
