Key Features
- Genuine OEM Specification — Produced to Genie's exact dimensional requirements for the .156 x 2.5 cotter pin, ensuring proper retention and secure fit in every application.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Sized and formed to install exactly as the original, with no reworking or adjustment needed at the fastener point.
- Broad Genie Fitment — Compatible with GS scissor lifts, S and SX telescopic booms, and Z articulating booms, making it a versatile stocking part for mixed Genie fleets.
- Retention Integrity — A correctly installed cotter pin prevents pins, bolts, and clevis fasteners from backing out under load or vibration, maintaining the mechanical connection it secures.
A cotter pin is a small split-pin fastener inserted through a drilled hole in a bolt, shaft, or clevis pin and then bent open to lock the assembly in place. Its role is to prevent the mating fastener from rotating or withdrawing under vibration, shock loads, or repeated movement. When a cotter pin is missing, deformed, or corroded, the fastener it secures can work loose, leading to play in the joint and, over time, damage to surrounding components. Replacing a failed cotter pin with the correct OEM part restores the locking function and keeps the mechanical assembly secure.
