The Genie 81642GT is a genuine OEM Wear Pad Shim, 3 X 1.5, 16G designed for the S-80 and S-85 telescopic boom lifts. As a direct OEM replacement sourced from Genie, this shim matches the original specification for gauge, dimensions, and material grade — no guesswork, no adaptation. It is the correct service part to reach for when restoring proper boom section clearance on these machines.
Key Features
- OEM Gauge and Dimensional Conformity — Manufactured to the original 16-gauge specification and 3 x 1.5 dimensions, ensuring the shim seats correctly against the wear pad surface.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Supplied by Genie as a genuine replacement, this shim installs in place of the original without modification or fitting adjustment.
- Confirmed Fitment for S-80 and S-85 — Verified for Genie S-80 and S-85 telescopic boom lifts; cross-reference part number 81642GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm the correct application.
- Controls Boom Section Play — A correctly sized shim maintains the proper clearance between boom sections, keeping movement smooth and preventing premature wear pad deterioration.
- Supports Safe Boom Operation — Excessive play in boom sections caused by a worn or missing shim can affect the stability and control of an elevated platform; replacing this shim restores the correct operating tolerance.
A wear pad shim is a thin, precisely gauged plate installed between the boom section and its wear pads to set the correct clearance as the telescoping sections slide against one another. Over time, wear pads wear down and the gap between sections increases, leading to looseness, uneven movement, and accelerated wear on surrounding components. Replacing the shim with the correct gauge restores the intended fit, keeps boom extension smooth and controlled, and prolongs the service life of the wear pads themselves.
