The Genie 56680GT is a genuine OEM Socket Head Cap Screw, 1/2-13 x 4.50 Zinc, 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 exact thread pitch, length, and zinc finish specified for your machine, ensuring a correct fit every time. Cross-reference part number 56680GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the right screw for your specific unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Conformity — Produced to the exact 1/2-13 thread specification and 4.50-inch length called out in Genie parts documentation, with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance.
- Direct Bolt-In Replacement — Threaded to the original spec so it seats and torques correctly without rework or modification to the fastener hole.
- Broad Boom Lift Coverage — Fits a wide range of Genie S series telescopic booms and Z series articulating booms, including multiple power and drive variants within the Z-45/25 family.
- Structural Integrity — A correctly torqued fastener maintains joint clamping force across the connection point; a worn, stripped, or incorrect screw compromises that clamping load and can allow movement in the assembled joint.
- Aerial-Lift Safety Relevance — On boom lifts, fastener integrity at structural and functional joints directly affects the safe operation of the machine. Using the specified OEM screw preserves the designed clamping values at the attachment point.
A socket head cap screw is a high-strength fastener driven by an internal hex (Allen) socket rather than an external wrench head, allowing it to be installed in tighter spaces and torqued to precise values. The zinc coating provides a base level of corrosion protection suited to the environments these machines operate in. When a fastener at a structural, pivot, or cover joint stretches, strips, or corrodes, it loses the clamping force needed to keep the joint secure — replacing it promptly with the correct OEM part restores the designed holding strength and keeps the assembly performing as intended.
