The Genie 1256468GT Nylock Nut, 3/8-16, Grade 8, Zinc Alloy is a genuine OEM fastener built for a wide range of Genie equipment, including SX and S telescopic boom lifts, Z and ZX articulating boom lifts, GS scissor lifts, and GTH telehandlers. As a direct OEM replacement, this nut meets Genie's original material and dimensional specifications, ensuring it seats and torques correctly in the application it was designed for. Verify part number 1256468GT against your machine's parts manual before ordering to confirm it is the correct fastener for your unit.
Key Features
- Nylon Insert Locking — The nylon collar grips the mating thread under vibration, preventing the nut from backing off during machine operation — a critical trait in dynamic structural and mechanical joints.
- Exact OEM Specification — Manufactured to Genie's original dimensional spec for the 3/8-16 thread callout, so this fastener installs without rework and holds to the same torque value as the part it replaces.
- Broad Genie Equipment Compatibility — Fits Genie SX and S telescopic booms, Z and ZX articulating booms, GS scissor lifts, and GTH telehandlers, covering multiple product families from a single part number.
- Genuine OEM Sourcing — Supplied as a genuine Genie OEM part through DHS Equipment, giving you full confidence that the fastener matches the original build specification for your machine.
A Nylock nut is a standard hex nut fitted with a nylon insert at the top of the thread. When the nut is driven onto a bolt, the nylon collar deforms around the thread and creates friction that resists loosening under vibration and load cycling. This makes Nylock nuts the preferred fastener in joints that experience repeated movement or dynamic stress — conditions common across boom lift structures, scissor lift frames, and telehandler assemblies. A nut that has backed off or been lost entirely can compromise the integrity of the joint it was securing, so replacing a worn or missing fastener with the correct OEM specification part is essential to keeping the connection sound.
