The Genie 1252980GT is a genuine OEM Boom Lowering Wearpad, Side designed for Z-33/18 and Z-33 DC Power articulating boom lifts. As a factory-original component, this wearpad is built to the exact material and dimensional specifications Genie engineers designed into these machines, ensuring consistent contact, correct clearance, and proper boom alignment during lowering cycles. Verified against Genie parts documentation, this part is a direct-fit solution for the Z-33 series with no adaptation needed.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Grade — Manufactured to Genie's specified wear-resistance rating, ensuring this wearpad holds up under the repetitive contact and lateral load forces of boom lowering cycles.
- Direct Side-Mount Fit — Engineered as a side-position wearpad, this component installs into the correct channel position on the boom structure of Z-33/18 and Z-33 DC Power machines.
- Z-33 Series Compatibility — Fits the Z-33/18 and Z-33 DC Power articulating boom lifts; always cross-reference 1252980GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm the correct position before ordering.
- Protects Structural Boom Components — By absorbing friction and contact stress during boom movement, this wearpad shields the boom's metal surfaces from accelerated wear, preserving the integrity of more costly structural components.
- Safe Boom Operation — A worn or missing side wearpad can allow metal-on-metal contact during boom lowering, introducing unwanted play and increasing stress on the boom structure. Replacing this part on schedule keeps boom movement smooth and controlled.
A boom lowering wearpad is a sacrificial wear component positioned along the side of the boom assembly to create a controlled sliding surface during boom extension and retraction cycles. It cushions the lateral contact between moving boom sections, preventing direct metal-to-metal wear that would otherwise damage the boom structure itself. When this wearpad wears through, operators may notice increased looseness in boom movement, irregular motion, or audible contact — all signs the pad needs prompt replacement to prevent damage to surrounding components.
