The Genie 21496GT is a genuine OEM Hex Nut, 1/4-28 built for a wide range of Genie aerial equipment, including S-series telescopic boom lifts, Z-series and TZ-series articulating boom lifts, and GS-series scissor lifts. As a direct OEM replacement, this nut is manufactured to the exact thread pitch and dimensional tolerances specified by Genie, ensuring a correct and secure fit wherever it is called out in the assembly. Cross-reference part number 21496GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm the correct application before ordering.
Key Features
- OEM Thread Conformity — Produced to the exact 1/4-28 fine-thread specification, this hex nut mates correctly with the fastener it is designed for — no re-tapping or reworking required.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Genuine Genie part sourced through the original manufacturer's supply chain, matching the hardware already installed on your machine.
- Broad Fitment Across Genie Families — Compatible with Genie S-series telescopic booms, Z-series and TZ-series articulating booms, and GS-series scissor lifts, covering a wide cross-section of the Genie fleet.
- Dimensional Integrity — Correct hex dimensions ensure a proper wrench engagement and the specified clamping load, preventing fastener loosening over time from vibration or repeated cycling.
- Structural Confidence — On aerial equipment, fastener integrity directly affects the security of assemblies under load. Using the specified OEM hardware maintains the connection as the machine's engineers intended.
A hex nut is a standard threaded fastener used to clamp and secure two or more components together when paired with a bolt or threaded stud. The 1/4-28 designation specifies the thread diameter and fine-thread pitch, meaning this nut must be matched exactly to the correct mating fastener — substituting a coarse-thread nut on a fine-thread bolt, or vice versa, will damage the threads and compromise the joint. On aerial lifts, fasteners appear throughout the machine in structural, mechanical, and panel assemblies, and using the correct OEM specification ensures each joint holds to the torque value and load rating the manufacturer designed for.
