The Genie 8538GT is a genuine OEM LP Nylock Nut, 3/4-10 built for a wide range of Genie equipment, including GS scissor lifts, TZ articulating trailer booms, and the Genie Powered Superlift. As a direct OEM replacement, this nut is manufactured to the same specifications as the original hardware installed at the factory. Confirm part number 8538GT against your machine's parts manual to ensure it is the correct fastener for your application before ordering.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Locking Hardware — Manufactured to Genie's original dimensional and material standards, ensuring the correct thread engagement and locking force for a 3/4-10 fastener application.
- Low-Profile Nylock Design — The nylon insert locks the nut in place under vibration, maintaining clamp load without backing off — critical on mobile equipment subject to constant movement and load cycling.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Replaces the original 8538GT hardware with no rework required; the 3/4-10 thread spec matches the original fastener exactly.
- Broad Genie Fitment — Fits GS scissor lifts ranging from compact slab models to large rough-terrain units, TZ-50/30 and TZ-50 trailer booms, and the Genie Powered Superlift.
- Structural Integrity — A loose or failed locking nut on an aerial lift can allow fastened assemblies to shift under load. Using the correct OEM-spec replacement maintains the integrity of the joint it secures.
A low-profile Nylock nut uses a nylon insert bonded into the top of the nut to resist loosening caused by vibration and dynamic loading. Once the bolt threads engage the nylon collar, the interference fit creates friction that prevents the nut from backing off on its own. On mobile aerial equipment, fasteners are exposed to constant vibration, travel loads, and repeated machine cycles — conditions that cause standard nuts to work loose over time. A Nylock nut that has worn, stripped, or lost its nylon insert should be replaced promptly, as a fastener that backs off in service can allow structural movement in the assembly it secures.
