The Genie 87868GT is a genuine OEM Top & Bottom Short Shim,.03 THK, built for Genie TZ series trailer-mounted articulating boom lifts, including the TZ-34/20, TZ-50/30, and TZ-50. As a genuine OEM part, this shim is manufactured to the exact dimensional tolerances required by Genie, ensuring a correct fit without secondary machining or adjustment. Cross-reference part number 87868GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the right shim for your specific unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Exact OEM Thickness — Manufactured to a precise .03 THK specification, matching the original shim dimension to maintain correct component alignment and clearance.
- Genuine Genie Part — Sourced directly from Genie, this shim meets the same material grade and dimensional conformity requirements as the part it replaces.
- Direct Replacement Fit — Designed to drop into the top and bottom shim positions on TZ series booms, this part installs without modification or secondary machining.
- Broad TZ Series Coverage — Fits the TZ-34/20, TZ-50/30, and TZ-50 trailer-mounted articulating boom lifts, covering the full Genie TZ family.
- Maintains Structural Alignment — A correctly fitted shim keeps mating components properly spaced and aligned; a worn or missing shim allows unwanted play that accelerates wear on surrounding parts.
A shim is a thin, precision-thickness plate installed between mating components to control spacing, alignment, and clearance. On trailer-mounted articulating booms like the TZ series, shims at the top and bottom pivot positions ensure structural members seat correctly against one another, preventing excessive movement and uneven load distribution. When a shim wears thin or is missing, the resulting play can cause accelerated wear on adjacent hardware and lead to imprecise boom movement — making timely replacement with the correct OEM part essential to keeping the machine performing as designed.
