The Genie 1260688GT is a genuine OEM Nylock Nut, M8-1.25, DIN985, A270 built for Genie S series telescopic boom lifts and Z series articulating boom lifts. As a direct OEM replacement, this nut is manufactured to the same DIN985 standard and A270 material specification as the original hardware, ensuring correct thread engagement and clamping force wherever it is installed on the machine. This part is confirmed to fit the S-40, S-45, S-60, S-60X, S-60 XC, S-60 TRAX, S-65, S-65 TRAX, and Z-80/60 — cross-reference part number 1260688GT against your machine's parts manual to verify the correct application before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Specification — Manufactured to DIN985 standard in A270 material grade, matching the original hardware's thread form, dimensional tolerances, and clamping characteristics exactly.
- M8-1.25 Thread for Direct Replacement — The M8-1.25 thread pitch installs directly onto existing fastener points with no re-tapping or modification to mating hardware.
- Broad Boom Lift Compatibility — Fits a wide range of Genie S series telescopic booms and Z series articulating booms, including XC, TRAX, and standard variants.
- Nylon Insert Locking Element — The nylon collar grips the thread under vibration and dynamic loads, resisting loosening during boom extension, retraction, and platform movement.
- Structural Integrity Where It Counts — A fastener that backs out or loses clamping load can allow connected components to shift or fail; replacing worn or damaged hardware with the correct OEM part restores the intended joint integrity.
A nylock nut — also called a nylon-insert lock nut — uses a nylon collar integrated into the top of the nut to create friction against the bolt thread, preventing the nut from loosening under vibration or cyclical loading. On boom lifts, fasteners are subject to continuous machine movement, and a nut that has lost its locking ability can back off over time, allowing connected components to work loose. Replacing a worn or missing nylock nut with the correct M8-1.25 OEM part restores the clamping force the joint was designed to carry and keeps the assembly secured through normal operating cycles.
