Key Features
- OEM-Grade Nylatron Material — Manufactured from Nylatron, a high-performance engineered polymer known for its low friction, dimensional stability, and resistance to wear under repetitive load and contact cycles.
- 1.50 O.D. Dimensional Conformity — The 1.50-inch outer diameter matches the original specification exactly, ensuring the roller seats correctly in its track or guide channel without shimming or modification.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Sourced directly from Genie as a genuine OEM component, this roller drops into the position vacated by the worn or failed part and restores the assembly to its original operating condition.
- Broad Fitment Across Personnel and Material Lift Families — Fits Genie AWP and AWP Super Series push-around personnel lifts, Super Tower, Genie Superlift material lifts, and PLC PLI models, making it a widely applicable service part.
- Smooth, Low-Resistance Guidance — A sound roller allows the mast or carriage to travel freely and evenly. A worn or flat-spotted roller introduces binding, uneven movement, and accelerated wear on adjacent components.
A roller in a Genie personnel lift or material lift guides the mast sections or carriage along their travel path, reducing friction and keeping movement smooth and consistent as the unit is raised or lowered. Nylatron is chosen for this application because it combines a hard, wear-resistant surface with a low coefficient of friction, allowing it to run against metal guide rails without requiring lubrication in normal service. When a roller wears down, becomes cracked, or develops flat spots, the mast or carriage can bind, travel unevenly, or place side-load stress on adjacent structural components — making timely replacement with the correct OEM part an important part of keeping the equipment in proper working order.
