Key Features
- Exact Dimensional Fit — 5/16-18 thread pitch and .75-inch length match the original specification exactly, ensuring correct seating and clamping force without rework.
- Broad Genie Compatibility — Fits AL and RL series light towers as well as GTH series telehandlers, making it a practical stocking item across multiple Genie equipment families.
- Genuine OEM Part — Sourced directly from Genie, this fastener meets the same material and dimensional standards as the hardware it replaces, with no guesswork on grade or finish.
A hex head cap screw is a fully threaded or partially threaded fastener used to secure components together, typically passing through a clearance hole and threading into a tapped hole or a mating nut. The Grade 8 rating indicates a high-strength alloy steel construction capable of handling significant clamping loads without stretching or shearing. When a fastener of this type is under-specified — whether by using a lower grade or incorrect thread pitch — it can loosen under vibration or fail under load, compromising the integrity of the assembly it secures. Using the correct OEM-specified hardware ensures the joint performs as designed throughout the service life of the equipment.
