The Genie 18544GT Socket Head Cap Screw, 5/16-18 x.5 is a genuine OEM fastener built for the GTH-1056 telehandler. Sourced directly through the Genie OEM supply chain, this screw delivers the exact thread pitch, head geometry, and material grade specified for the application. Cross-reference part number 18544GT against your GTH-1056 parts manual to confirm it is the correct item for your assembly before ordering.
Key Features
- OEM-Specified Material and Dimensions — Manufactured to the exact 5/16-18 thread specification and 0.5-inch length called out in the Genie parts manual, ensuring correct clamp load and dimensional conformity for the intended fastening point.
- Socket Head Cap Design — The socket head cap profile allows precise torque application with a hex key in confined or recessed locations where a standard hex head wrench may not have clearance.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Fits the GTH-1056 telehandler as a direct, position-specific replacement, matching the original fastener installed at the factory.
- Fastener Integrity Matters — A worn, stripped, or incorrect fastener can compromise the integrity of the assembly it secures. Using the correct OEM screw maintains the holding strength and torque retention the machine was engineered around.
A socket head cap screw is a high-strength fastener with a cylindrical head and an internal hex (Allen) drive socket. It is designed for applications requiring a secure, high-torque connection in tight spaces where a traditional bolt head cannot be accessed with a wrench. When a fastener stretches, strips, or is substituted with an incorrect size or grade, the joint it holds can loosen under vibration and load — leading to misalignment or component failure. Replacing a damaged or missing screw with the correct Genie OEM part restores the assembly to its intended specification.
