The Genie 217234GT is a genuine OEM Socket Head Screw, 3/4X1.25X5/8-11, ZAG built for Genie S and Z series boom lifts. As a direct OEM replacement, this screw is manufactured to the same specification as the part originally installed at the factory, ensuring proper torque retention and dimensional conformity to the Genie design. It fits a range of telescopic and articulating boom lift models including the S-60 J, S-80 J, Z-135/70, ZX-135/70, Z-60/37 DC, Z-60/37 FE Hybrid, Z-60 DC, Z-60 FE Hybrid, and Z-60 FE. Always cross-reference part number 217234GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct fastener for your specific unit and configuration.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Conformity — Manufactured to Genie's exact thread pitch, head geometry, and zinc-alloy-coated (ZAG) finish specification for correct clamping load and corrosion resistance.
- Direct Bolt-In Replacement — Matches the original 3/4X1.25X5/8-11 thread specification so this screw seats and torques correctly without rework or modification.
- Broad Boom Lift Compatibility — Fits Genie S series telescopic booms and Z series articulating booms, including the Z-135/70, ZX-135/70, Z-60/37 DC, Z-60/37 FE Hybrid, S-60 J, S-80 J, and related models.
- Structural Fastening Integrity — A socket head cap screw in a boom lift application is a structural fastener; a worn, stripped, or incorrect-grade screw can compromise joint integrity, making like-for-like OEM replacement the correct approach.
- Corrosion-Resistant Finish — The ZAG (zinc alloy galvanized) coating protects the fastener against the moisture and outdoor exposure typical of boom lift operation, supporting service life on the machine.
A socket head screw uses an internal hex (Allen) drive socket and a cylindrical head profile, allowing it to be installed in recessed or space-constrained locations where a standard hex head fastener will not fit. The 5/8-11 thread designation indicates a coarse-thread fastener designed to develop high clamping force, commonly used in structural joints throughout boom lift assemblies. When a fastener of this type is missing, damaged, or substituted with an off-specification alternative, the joint it secures may not achieve the correct preload, which can lead to loosening, fretting, or structural movement over time. Replacing it with the correct Genie OEM part ensures the joint is restored to its original specification.
