Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Conformity — Manufactured to Genie's original 3/8-16 x 4.5 specification for thread pitch, diameter, and shank length, so this screw seats and torques correctly in its designated location.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Supplied as a genuine Genie part, this fastener installs in place of the original without modification or re-drilling.
- Broad Equipment Compatibility — Fits across multiple Genie and Terex equipment families, including GS scissor lifts, GTH telehandlers, TZ trailer-mounted booms, Z articulating booms, light towers, and material lifts.
- Secure Clamping Force — A correctly sized hex head cap screw maintains the clamping load needed to hold assemblies together under load and vibration. A stripped or incorrect fastener can allow components to shift or come loose during operation.
A hex head cap screw is a fully threaded or partially threaded fastener with a six-sided head designed to be driven with a wrench or socket. It provides a precise, repeatable clamping force when torqued to specification, making it a critical fastener wherever structural or mechanical assemblies must remain securely joined. When a fastener in this position is damaged, undersized, or missing, the joint it secures can work loose under load and vibration, leading to accelerated wear or component separation. Replacing it with the correct OEM part ensures the joint returns to its designed holding strength.
