The Genie 28118GT Socket Head Cap Screw, 1/2-13 x 2.75 is a genuine OEM fastener built for the AL5HT light tower and S-60, S-80, and S-85 telescopic boom lifts. As a direct OEM replacement, this screw is manufactured to the same dimensional and material standards as the original hardware installed at the factory. Cross-reference part number 28118GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct fastener for your specific assembly and serial range.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Fastener Integrity — Manufactured to the correct thread pitch, shank diameter, and length specification (1/2-13 x 2.75) for a consistent, dependable connection at the intended joint.
- Socket Head Cap Design — The internal hex drive allows for high torque application in confined spaces where a standard hex head wrench may not fit, making installation and removal straightforward.
- Confirmed OEM Fitment — Fits the AL5HT light tower and S-60, S-80, and S-85 telescopic boom lifts directly, with no modification to mounting points or adjacent hardware.
- Structural Connection Confidence — A correctly torqued fastener maintains the clamping force needed to keep joined components secure under the vibration and load cycles these machines encounter in daily use. A loose, damaged, or incorrect screw can allow joint movement and accelerate wear on surrounding components.
- Genuine Genie OEM Part — Supplied by Genie through authorized channels, ensuring the correct part reaches your machine and supports equipment traceability.
A socket head cap screw is a high-strength fastener with a cylindrical head and an internal hex socket drive, designed to be driven with an Allen key or hex bit. The socket head profile allows the fastener to sit flush or recessed within a counterbored hole, making it well suited to structural joints and close-clearance assemblies found throughout boom lifts and light towers. When a screw in a critical joint becomes stripped, corroded, or under-torqued, the clamping force at that connection drops — leading to looseness, fretting, and potential component damage. Replacing a worn or damaged screw with the correct OEM part restores the intended joint integrity and keeps the assembly performing as designed.
