The Genie 1279211GT is a genuine OEM Wear Pad Shim designed for S-40 and S-45 telescopic boom lifts. As a direct OEM replacement, this shim is manufactured to the same dimensional standards as the original part, ensuring correct thickness and coverage across the wear pad interface. This part fits the S-40 XC, S-45 XC, S-40 TRAX, S-45 TRAX, S-40 HF, and S-45 HF variants — cross-reference part number 1279211GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct item for your serial range before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Accuracy — Manufactured to the original 7 x 3, 14-gauge specification, this shim delivers the correct material thickness and coverage that the wear pad system depends on.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original shim profile and gauge, fitting into position without modification alongside the existing wear pad assembly.
- Broad S-Series Fitment — Compatible with S-40 XC, S-45 XC, S-40 TRAX, S-45 TRAX, S-40 HF, and S-45 HF telescopic boom lifts. Always verify against your parts manual before ordering.
- Protects Structural Surfaces — A correctly shimmed wear pad maintains the proper running clearance between boom sections, reducing metal-on-metal contact and slowing wear on the boom structure itself.
- Supports Safe Boom Operation — Worn or missing shims allow excessive play between boom sections, which can affect boom extension stability. Replacing this shim on schedule keeps the boom operating within designed tolerances.
A wear pad shim is a precision-gauge plate that sits behind or beneath a boom wear pad to set the correct running clearance between telescoping boom sections. As wear pads compress or wear down over time, the shim maintains the designed spacing so the boom slides smoothly and tracks true during extension and retraction. When a shim is missing, undersized, or deformed, the wear pad can shift out of position, allowing metal contact between boom sections that accelerates structural wear and introduces unwanted movement in the boom. Replacing this component with the correct OEM part restores proper pad preload and helps extend the service life of the surrounding boom structure.
