Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Conformity — Manufactured to exact 5/16-18 thread and 0.5 in length specifications, ensuring correct torque engagement and seating on assembly.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original fastener exactly, so installation is straightforward with no modification to mating hardware or mounting points.
- Broad AL Series Coverage — Confirmed fit across the AL4000, AL5000, AL4, AL5, AL4L, and AL5L portable light towers — a single part number covering the full AL family.
- Structural Integrity You Can Count On — A correctly specified screw holds assemblies securely under the vibration and load cycles typical of jobsite light tower operation; an incorrect or worn fastener risks joint loosening and component damage.
- Genie OEM Sourcing — Supplied as a genuine Genie part, so the part number cross-references directly against your machine's parts manual without substitution guesswork.
A hex head cap screw is a fully threaded or partially threaded fastener with a hexagonal head, driven by a wrench or socket to clamp components together at a defined torque. On Genie AL series light towers, fasteners like this one secure panels, brackets, and structural assemblies that must stay tight through transport and extended runtime. A stripped, corroded, or missing screw compromises the integrity of the joint it holds, which can lead to loose components or accelerated wear on surrounding hardware. Replacing a damaged fastener promptly with the correct OEM part restores the assembly to its original clamping specification. Cross-reference part number 980340GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the right screw for your specific assembly before ordering.
