The Genie 8538GT is a genuine OEM LP Nylock Nut, 3/4-10 built for Genie Powered Superlift material lifts, GS scissor lifts, and TZ trailer-mounted articulating booms. As a factory-sourced fastener, this nut matches the exact thread specification and locking-element grade called out in Genie's parts manual, so it installs without modification alongside original hardware. Verify part number 8538GT against your machine's parts manual before ordering to confirm it is the correct fastener for your application.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Locking Element — The nylon locking insert is manufactured to the same material and compression spec as the original, resisting vibration-induced loosening under the working loads typical of aerial and lift equipment.
- Correct Thread Form, 3/4-10 — Cut to a 3/4-10 UNC thread profile, this nut engages mating fasteners exactly as intended — no chasing or rework required on the joint.
- Broad Genie Equipment Fitment — Fits Genie Powered Superlift material lifts, GS-3384 scissor lifts, TZ-50/30, and TZ-50 trailer booms, making it a practical item to carry when servicing mixed Genie fleets.
- Maintains Joint Integrity — A worn or missing nylock nut allows fastener backout, which can cause joint movement and accelerated wear in the connected assembly. Replacing it with the correct OEM part restores the clamping force the joint was designed to hold.
- Direct OEM Sourcing — Supplied as a genuine Genie part through DHS Equipment, this nut carries the same part number used in Genie's own service documentation, removing guesswork from parts ordering.
A low-profile nylock nut uses a nylon insert bonded into the top of the nut body to grip the bolt thread and resist loosening caused by vibration and dynamic loading — conditions common on mobile lifting equipment. The low-profile (LP) form is specified in locations where vertical clearance is limited and a standard-height nut would foul adjacent structure. When the nylon insert wears, deforms, or is reused beyond its service life, the nut can back off the fastener, compromising the clamped joint. Replacing it with the correct OEM part — the Genie 8538GT — restores the locking performance and torque retention the joint requires.
