The Genie 6-5216-44GT Hex Head Cap Screw, 1-8X5.5 GR8 is a genuine OEM fastener built for Genie GTH telehandlers, specifically the GTH-636, GTH-1048, and GTH-1056. Sourced directly from Genie, this screw meets the exact dimensional and grade specifications called out in the original parts manual. When you need to match the correct fastener for your machine, cross-reference part number 6-5216-44GT against your GTH parts manual to confirm it is the right item for your application.
Key Features
- Grade 8 Strength Rating — The GR8 designation means this screw is manufactured to a high tensile strength standard, delivering the clamping force required for demanding structural and mechanical connections on GTH telehandlers.
- Exact OEM Dimensions — At 1-8 thread pitch and 5.5 inches in length, this fastener matches the original specification exactly, seating and torquing correctly without shimming or modification.
- Genuine Genie Part — Supplied as a genuine OEM component, this screw carries the same material grade and dimensional conformity as the fastener installed at the factory, giving you confidence in the replacement.
- Confirmed GTH Telehandler Fitment — Fits the GTH-636, GTH-1048, and GTH-1056, covering a range of Genie telescopic handler configurations used across construction and industrial worksites.
- Secure Fastening Preserves Joint Integrity — A correct-grade, correct-length screw maintains proper clamp load across the joint it secures. An incorrect or worn fastener can allow movement, fretting, or loosening that compromises the connected assembly.
A hex head cap screw is a threaded fastener used to clamp two or more components together, tightened with a wrench or socket against the hex head. The grade rating — GR8 in this case — indicates the tensile and proof-load strength of the fastener, which determines how much clamping force it can safely sustain. Using a fastener of the wrong grade, thread pitch, or length risks under-clamping or bottoming out in the threaded bore, either of which can lead to joint failure over time. Replacing a worn or damaged screw with the correct OEM part ensures the joint performs as the machine was designed to function.
