Key Features
- F835 Grade, ZAG Finish — Manufactured to F835 medium-carbon alloy steel specification with a zinc-alloy-coated (ZAG) finish for corrosion resistance in demanding jobsite environments.
- Torx Plus Drive Interface — The Torx Plus head allows higher torque transfer with reduced bit slippage compared to standard hex drives, making installation more precise and repeatable.
- Exact OEM Thread Spec — Cut to 1/4-20x3/4 thread dimensions, this screw threads directly into the original location without modification, maintaining the correct clamp load and seating depth.
- Broad GTH Telehandler Coverage — Fits seven GTH model configurations, including the GTH-636, GTH-844, GTH-1056, GTH-1256, GTH-1044, GTH-1244, and GTH-1544.
- Genuine OEM Sourcing — Supplied by Genie as an OEM part, ensuring dimensional conformity and material grade consistency with the original hardware on your telehandler.
A button head cap screw provides a low-profile fastening point where clearance is limited or a flush, smooth surface is required. The button-style head distributes clamp load across a wider bearing surface than a standard socket head, reducing the risk of pull-through in lighter material panels or brackets. A fastener that is worn, stripped, or of the incorrect grade can compromise the integrity of the joint it secures — replacing it with the correct OEM screw restores the connection to its original specification.
