The Genie 60840GT is a genuine OEM Wear Pad Shim, 7 x 3, 16GA built for Genie S and SX series telescopic boom lifts and Z series articulating boom lifts. As an OEM part sourced directly through authorized Genie supply channels, this shim is manufactured to the same dimensional and material standards as the original component installed at the factory. Cross-reference part number 60840GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct shim for your specific unit before ordering. This shim fits a wide range of models including the S-80, S-85, S-100HD, S-120HD, S-65 XC, S-85 XC, SX-105 XC, SX-125 XC, Z-135/70, ZX-135/70, and Z-80/60, among others.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Conformity — Manufactured to exact 7 x 3, 16-gauge specifications, ensuring the shim seats correctly against the wear pad without shimming gaps or over-compression.
- Direct Replacement Fit — Engineered to install in the same position as the original, with no rework or modification to the boom structure required.
- Broad Fitment Coverage — Fits a wide range of Genie S and SX telescopic boom lifts and Z articulating boom lifts, making it a practical stocking part for mixed Genie fleets.
- Wear Pad Alignment Support — Correct shim thickness keeps wear pads properly positioned within the boom section, maintaining consistent contact and controlled movement between telescope sections.
- Structural Integrity Assurance — Using the correctly rated shim prevents uneven loading on boom slides, which can accelerate wear pad deterioration and affect boom extension performance.
A wear pad shim is a thin, precisely gauged spacer fitted behind or alongside the wear pad in a telescoping boom section. Its role is to set the correct clearance between the inner and outer boom sections so the wear pads make consistent, controlled contact as the boom extends and retracts. When a shim is missing, incorrectly sized, or worn beyond its service limit, the wear pads can shift position, causing uneven contact, accelerated pad wear, and unwanted play or slop in the boom sections. Replacing a worn or damaged shim with the correct OEM part restores proper boom slide geometry and helps extend the service life of the surrounding wear pads.
