The Genie 34079GT Hex Head Cap Screw, 1-8 X 8.5 GRD.2 is a genuine OEM fastener built for Genie S-40, S-45, S-80, and S-85 telescopic boom lifts. As a direct OEM replacement, this screw meets Genie's original specifications for thread pitch, length, and grade, ensuring it fits and functions exactly as the original hardware did. Cross-reference part number 34079GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct fastener for your application before ordering.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Fastener Material — Manufactured to Grade 2 specification, this screw delivers the dimensional conformity and material integrity Genie requires for this application.
- Exact Thread and Length Match — The 1-8 thread pitch and 8.5-inch length match the original fastener exactly, so this screw seats and torques correctly without modification.
- Confirmed Fitment for Genie S-Series Booms — Designed for the S-40, S-45, S-80, and S-85 telescopic boom lifts, keeping your machine on-spec with the correct OEM hardware.
- Structural Integrity Where It Counts — A fastener of this size carries significant clamping load on a boom lift. Using the correct grade and dimension prevents joint movement, fatigue, and the risk of a loose connection developing over time.
- Aerial-Lift Safety Compliance — On telescopic boom lifts, critical structural fasteners directly support platform stability and safe operation. Replacing worn or damaged hardware with the genuine OEM part helps maintain the machine's designed safety margins.
A hex head cap screw is a high-strength threaded fastener used to clamp structural or mechanical components together under load. On a telescopic boom lift, fasteners of this size are typically found securing major structural connections where maintaining correct torque and joint integrity is essential to safe machine operation. When a screw stretches, strips, or is substituted with an incorrect grade or length, the joint it holds can loosen over time, leading to movement, wear, and potential failure of the connection. Replacing a damaged or missing fastener with the correct OEM part — matched by thread, length, and grade — restores the joint to its original clamping specification.
