The Genie 73455GT Hex Head Cap Screw, 5/8-11 x 2.25 GR8 is a genuine OEM fastener built for Genie S series telescopic boom lifts and Z series articulating boom lifts. As a direct OEM replacement, this screw is manufactured to the same Grade 8 specification as the original hardware, ensuring correct torque retention and structural integrity at the fastening point. Cross-reference part number 73455GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the right item for your specific unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Grade 8 Strength Rating — Manufactured to Grade 8 hardness standards, delivering the tensile strength and shear resistance required at critical fastening points on aerial boom lifts.
- Exact OEM Dimensional Spec — 5/8-11 thread pitch and 2.25-inch length match the original Genie specification, so this screw seats and torques correctly without modification.
- Broad Boom Lift Coverage — Fits a wide range of Genie S series telescopic booms (including S-40, S-45, S-60 XC, S-65 TRAX, S-80, and S-85) and Z series articulating booms (including Z-60/34, Z-62/40, and Z-80/60).
- Genuine OEM Sourcing — Supplied as an authentic Genie OEM part, so you can be confident the alloy grade, thread form, and head dimensions meet the original engineering requirements.
- Structural Fastening Integrity — A properly torqued, correctly rated screw holds structural and mechanical assemblies in alignment under load. A stripped, incorrect, or under-spec fastener can allow movement or loosening that leads to component wear and unplanned maintenance.
A hex head cap screw is a high-strength structural fastener used to clamp assemblies together and maintain joint integrity under load and vibration. On aerial boom lifts, fasteners at this grade are used where joint movement or slippage would affect the function or alignment of the assembly they secure. When a screw is damaged, cross-threaded, or replaced with an incorrect grade, the clamping force at that joint is compromised — potentially accelerating wear on surrounding components. Replacing a failed or damaged fastener with the correct OEM-spec part restores the joint to its original condition and prevents further damage.
