The Genie 1268596GT Socket Head Cap Screw, 5/8-11X3.5 is a genuine OEM fastener built for Genie S-series telescopic boom lifts and the Z-80/60 articulating boom lift. Manufactured to A574 alloy steel specification with a zinc-and-gold (ZAG) corrosion-resistant finish, this screw delivers the exact thread pitch, head geometry, and tensile strength required for the application. Verify part number 1268596GT against your machine's parts manual before ordering to confirm it is the correct item for your specific unit.
Key Features
- A574 Alloy Steel Construction — Built to the high-strength A574 standard, this screw meets the tensile demands of boom lift structural and mechanical fastening points where a standard-grade fastener is not sufficient.
- ZAG Corrosion-Resistant Finish — The zinc-and-gold coating protects against corrosion from outdoor exposure, wash-downs, and the harsh jobsite conditions that aerial lift equipment regularly encounters.
- Exact-Fit Socket Head Profile — The socket head cap configuration installs with a hex key drive, allowing secure torquing in tight or recessed fastener locations where a standard hex head cannot seat properly.
- Genuine OEM Part — Sourced directly through Genie's OEM supply chain, this screw matches the original specification for thread pitch (5/8-11) and grip length (3.5 inches) with no need for substitution or modification.
- Broad S- and Z-Boom Compatibility — Fits the S-80, S-80X, S-80 XC, S-80 HF, S-85, S-85 XC, S-85 HF, and Z-80/60, covering the full upper range of Genie's telescopic and articulating boom lift lineup.
A socket head cap screw is a high-strength threaded fastener designed to clamp components together under significant load. The socket head allows a hex key to apply consistent, controlled torque even in confined spaces, making it the preferred fastener type in locations where wrench access is restricted. When a screw of this type is missing, damaged, or replaced with an incorrect grade, the clamped joint loses its rated holding force — which on a boom lift can affect the integrity of structural, mechanical, or platform connections. Replacing a worn or failed fastener with the correct OEM item, in the correct material grade and finish, restores the joint to its original specification.
