The Genie 5408GT is a genuine OEM LP Nylock Nut, 3/8-24 built for a wide range of Genie equipment, including AWP and IWP personnel lifts, Genie Lift and Superlift material lifts, and S-60 HC boom lifts. As a factory-sourced fastener, this nut is manufactured to the exact thread specification and locking profile used in Genie's original assembly, ensuring a correct fit every time. Sourced directly from Genie, part number 5408GT carries the same dimensional standards as the hardware installed at the factory. Cross-reference 5408GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm fitment for your specific unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fastener Quality — Manufactured to Genie's original thread tolerance and low-profile locking specification, ensuring the nut seats and locks exactly as the original hardware did.
- 3/8-24 Thread, Low-Profile Design — The fine-thread 3/8-24 sizing and low-profile (LP) nylon insert distinguish this nut from standard hex hardware — the correct callout is essential for a proper installation.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Installs in place of the original without modification, maintaining the structural and locking integrity of the assembly it fastens.
- Broad Genie Fitment — Compatible with AWP and IWP push-around personnel lifts, Genie Lift and Superlift material lifts, and S-60 HC telescopic boom lifts, making this a versatile hardware item to keep on the shelf.
- Locking Retention — The nylon insert grips the bolt thread under vibration and load, preventing the nut from backing off during operation — a failure mode common with standard hex nuts in mobile equipment applications.
A Nylock nut uses a nylon insert embedded in the top of the nut that deforms slightly around the bolt thread when driven, creating friction that resists loosening under vibration and dynamic loading. The low-profile (LP) variant is specified in assemblies where clearance is limited and a standard-height nut would interfere with adjacent components. When a Nylock nut is reused across multiple removals, the nylon insert loses its grip and the nut can back off during operation — replacing it with a new genuine OEM unit such as this one restores the correct locking force and keeps the fastened joint secure.
