Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Accuracy — Manufactured to original Genie specifications, this 22G shim delivers the precise thickness and material grade needed for correct axle rotation stop function.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Designed to install exactly as the original, this shim fits without modification and restores the correct mechanical relationship at the axle rotation stop point.
- Broad Boom Lift Compatibility — Fits Genie S-series telescopic booms and Z-series articulating booms, including S-60 TRAX, S-65 TRAX, S-65 XC, S-85 XC, Z-62/40, and Z-80/60.
- Maintains Correct Stop Position — A worn or incorrectly sized shim allows axle rotation to exceed its intended limit; the right shim keeps the stop engagement point consistent and protects surrounding components.
- Structural Safety at the Axle — On large boom lifts operating at height, correctly set rotation stops are critical to machine stability and safe operation — using the correct OEM shim thickness ensures the stop functions as designed.
A shim at the axle rotation stop controls and limits how far the axle can rotate relative to its mount by filling a precise gap between components. When the shim is the correct thickness, the stop engages at the right point, preventing over-rotation and protecting the surrounding structure from impact loads. If the shim is worn down, missing, or the wrong grade, the rotation stop either engages too late — allowing damaging over-travel — or binds prematurely, putting stress on connected components. Replacing a damaged or worn shim with the correct 22G OEM part restores proper engagement geometry and keeps the axle assembly operating within its intended range.
