The Multiquip 0017108006 Socket Head Bolt M8X6 is a genuine OEM fastener designed for GBX24S, GBX24B, GBX12S, and GBX12SK towable light towers and balloon lighting systems. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this bolt is manufactured to the exact thread pitch, head geometry, and material specification required by the original design. If you are servicing or reassembling a GBX-series unit, using the correct fastener ensures structural integrity and proper component seating throughout the assembly.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fastener Grade — Manufactured to the precise M8x6 thread and socket head specification called out in the original Multiquip engineering design, ensuring correct torque transfer and clamping load.
- Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original bolt profile exactly, seating flush into existing mounting points on GBX-series towers and balloon systems without rework or re-drilling.
- Broad GBX-Series Compatibility — Confirmed fitment for GBX24S, GBX24B, GBX12S, and GBX12SK light tower and balloon lighting equipment.
- Structural Reliability — A correctly torqued socket head bolt maintains panel alignment and component positioning during operation; a stripped, incorrect, or missing fastener can allow critical assemblies to shift or loosen under vibration and load.
- Safety-Relevant Hardware — Fasteners in lighting and tower assemblies are load-bearing structural components; using a correctly rated OEM bolt is essential to maintaining the safe working integrity of the equipment.
A socket head bolt is a precision fastener used to secure structural and mechanical components within an assembly. The internal hex (Allen) drive design allows high torque to be applied in confined spaces where a standard hex head would not fit, making it a common choice in equipment panels, frames, and component mounts. When a bolt of this type is missing, stripped, or substituted with an incorrect grade or thread pitch, the clamped joint loses its designed holding force — which can lead to component movement, accelerated wear on adjacent parts, or structural failure under operational stress.
