The Genie 1278980GT is a genuine OEM Wear Pad Shim, 9 x 1.5, 16GA built for the Genie S-45 XC telescopic boom lift. As a factory-sourced part, it is manufactured to the same tolerances as the original component it replaces, ensuring consistent fitment and performance. Cross-reference part number 1278980GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct shim for your unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Conformity — Manufactured to Genie's original gauge and size specifications (9 x 1.5, 16GA), so the shim seats correctly within the wear pad assembly without adjustment.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Sourced directly from Genie, this shim installs in place of the original part with no rework or modification to the surrounding assembly.
- Correct Fitment for the S-45 XC — Confirmed fit for the Genie S-45 XC telescopic boom lift, so you can order with confidence that this part matches your machine.
- Proper Wear Pad Clearance — Correct shimming maintains the designed clearance between wear pads and boom structure sections; insufficient or incorrect shims allow metal-to-metal contact and accelerate wear on boom components.
- Structural Integrity at the Boom Interface — A correctly shimmed wear pad assembly keeps boom sections aligned and moving smoothly, which is critical to safe and accurate boom operation on an aerial lift.
A wear pad shim sets and maintains the precise gap between a boom's wear pads and the structural boom sections that slide against them. Without the correct shim thickness, wear pads cannot distribute load evenly, leading to uneven contact, accelerated wear on boom tube surfaces, and potentially sloppy or binding boom extension. Replacing a worn or improperly sized shim with the correct OEM part restores the designed clearance and keeps the boom sections moving smoothly and predictably.
