Key Features
- Genuine OEM Quality — Produced to Genie's original material and dimensional standards, ensuring the shim provides consistent thickness and proper contact for the side pad assembly.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Designed to drop into the existing side pad location without alteration, maintaining the correct stack height and alignment on installation.
- Broad Articulating Boom Compatibility — Fits a wide range of Genie Z-series and TZ-series articulating boom lifts, covering multiple platform variants including IC Power, Bi-Energy, and DC models.
- Correct Gauge Specification — Supplied at 22GA to match the original shim thickness, so side pad clearance and load distribution are maintained as intended.
- Restores Proper Side Pad Function — A shim at the correct thickness keeps the side pad properly seated; an undersized or worn shim allows unwanted movement that accelerates pad and structural wear.
A side pad shim controls the clearance and contact pressure between the side pad and the boom structure. By setting the correct thickness at the side pad location, the shim ensures the pad bears evenly against the boom, preventing excessive play or undue stress on the surrounding components. When a shim wears thin or is missing entirely, the side pad can shift under load, leading to accelerated wear on both the pad and the mating surfaces it protects. Replacing it with the correct 22GA shim restores the proper fit and keeps the boom assembly performing as designed.
