The Genie 6-5606-22GT Socket Head Cap Screw, 3/8-16 x 2.75 is a genuine OEM fastener built for Genie GTH series telehandlers, including the GTH-636, GTH-644, GTH-842, GTH-844, GTH-1048, and GTH-1056. Sourced directly through Genie's OEM supply chain, this screw is manufactured to the exact thread pitch, shank diameter, and length specification required by the machine. Cross-reference part number 6-5606-22GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct item for your application before ordering.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Fastener Integrity — Manufactured to the precise 3/8-16 thread specification and 2.75-inch length called out in the Genie parts manual, ensuring correct torque engagement and clamping load.
- Socket Head Cap Drive — The socket head cap profile accepts a hex key drive, allowing installation in recessed or tight-clearance locations where a standard hex head wrench cannot reach.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Replaces the original fastener on covered GTH telehandler models with no additional machining or modification to the mating joint.
- Broad GTH Telehandler Coverage — Fits the GTH-636, GTH-644, GTH-842, GTH-844, GTH-1048, and GTH-1056, covering a wide range of Genie telescopic handler configurations.
- Fastener Failure Prevention — A correctly specified OEM screw maintains proper joint integrity. An incorrect length or thread pitch can result in under-clamping, thread stripping, or joint movement that accelerates wear on surrounding components.
A socket head cap screw secures two or more components together by threading into a tapped hole or through a clearance hole with a mating nut, drawing the joint tight under a controlled clamping force. The socket head cap design concentrates drive torque through an internal hex recess, making it a common choice for assemblies where installation access is limited. When a screw of this type is missing, damaged, or substituted with an incorrect size, the joint it holds can shift or loosen under load, leading to accelerated wear on connected components and the need for more extensive repairs. Replacing a worn or failed fastener with the correct OEM part restores the joint to its intended specification.
