NUT, NYLOCK, 3/8-16

The Genie 4828GT is a genuine OEM Nylock Nut, 3/8-16 designed for an exceptionally broad range of Genie and Terex equipment, including GS scissor lifts, S and SX telescopic boom lifts, Z and ZX articulating boom lifts, GTH telehandlers, TZ and TMZ trailer-mounted booms, light towers, vertical mast lifts, material lifts, and push-around personnel lifts. As a direct OEM replacement sourced through Genie's authorized parts supply, this fastener matches the exact thread specification and locking torque characteristics called out in the original assembly. Cross-reference part number 4828GT against your equipment's parts manual to confirm the correct application before ordering.

Key Features

• OEM-Specified Nylon Insert Locking: The nylon collar is sized to the 3/8-16 thread pitch, delivering the exact prevailing torque needed to resist vibration-induced loosening in Genie equipment assemblies.
• Drop-In Thread Compatibility: Threaded to 3/8-16 UNC, this nut seats directly onto the mating fastener without chasing or re-tapping the existing hardware.
• Broad Cross-Equipment Fitment: A single part number covers GS scissor lifts, S and SX telescopic booms, Z and ZX articulating booms, GTH telehandlers, TZ and TMZ trailer booms, AL and TML light towers, GR and QS mast lifts, and Genie material-lift products.
• Vibration Resistance Where It Counts: On aerial equipment subjected to constant travel, elevation cycles, and structural loading, a Nylock nut that maintains clamp load keeps critical joints tight and prevents hardware migration over time.
• Structural and Safety-Critical Applications: Fastener integrity on boom, scissor, and platform structures directly affects the safety of elevated work; using the specified OEM nut ensures the joint behaves as the original engineering intended.

A Nylock nut uses a nylon insert bonded inside the top of the nut body that deforms around the bolt threads as the nut is tightened. This interference creates a prevailing torque — a friction resistance that prevents the nut from backing off under vibration or dynamic loading, without requiring thread-locking compounds. On aerial lifts and related equipment, joints in structural frames, platform rails, outrigger assemblies, and drive components are exposed to continuous vibration and load cycling; a nut that backs off in these locations can lead to loose connections, component shift, or fastener loss. Replacing a worn or missing Nylock nut with the correct OEM part restores the designed clamp load and keeps the assembly performing as built.
