The Genie 1279210GT is a genuine OEM Wear Pad Shim, 7 x 3, 16GA designed for the Genie S-45 XC telescopic boom lift. Sourced directly from Genie, this shim is manufactured to the exact dimensional specifications required for proper wear pad function on the S-45 XC. Keeping the correct shim in place ensures the wear pads perform as intended and helps maintain the structural integrity of the boom assembly.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Accuracy — Produced to Genie's exact 7 x 3, 16-gauge specification, ensuring the shim seats correctly against the wear pad with no gaps or misalignment.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered specifically for the S-45 XC, this shim installs in place of the original without modification or adjustment.
- Correct Gauge Material — The 16GA thickness is not interchangeable with adjacent gauges; using the specified shim preserves the correct stack height and wear pad contact.
- Preserves Boom Clearance — A properly shimmed wear pad maintains the designed clearance between boom sections, preventing metal-to-metal contact and premature structural wear.
- Verified Genie Fitment — Part number 1279210GT is confirmed for the Genie S-45 XC; always cross-reference against your machine's parts manual before ordering.
A wear pad shim is a thin, precision-gauge spacer used to set or restore the correct clearance between a boom section and its wear pads. Over time, wear pads compress or wear down, altering the gap between sliding boom sections and allowing unwanted movement or contact. Installing a shim of the correct gauge brings the assembly back to its designed tolerance, reducing side-load stress on the boom structure and extending the service life of both the wear pads and the boom sections they protect. A missing or incorrect shim allows the boom to shift laterally under load, accelerating wear and potentially affecting the stability of the machine during operation.
