The Genie 1278788GT is a genuine OEM Wear Pad Shim, 9 x 3.5, 12GA, built for the Genie S-45 XC telescopic boom lift.

Cross-reference part number 1278788GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct shim for your unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material and Gauge Conformity — Manufactured to the precise 12-gauge thickness and 9 x 3.5 dimensions specified for this application, ensuring the wear pad stack sits at the correct clearance.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — This shim is designed as a drop-in replacement for the S-45 XC, matching the original profile and hole pattern for straightforward installation.
- Confirmed Fitment — Verified fit for the Genie S-45 XC telescopic boom lift.
- Wear Pad Clearance Control — Correct shim thickness keeps boom section clearances within specification, preventing excessive play and uneven wear pad contact during boom extension and retraction.
- Backed by Genie OEM Standards — As a genuine Genie part, this shim is held to the same production standards as the component it replaces, supporting consistent boom performance over the service life of the machine.
A wear pad shim controls the clearance between a boom section and its wear pads, ensuring the sliding surfaces maintain the correct contact and spacing during boom movement. When shim thickness is off — whether from wear, damage, or an incorrect replacement — boom sections can develop excessive play, leading to uneven wear pad contact, accelerated component wear, and a boom that no longer travels smoothly. Installing the correctly sized shim restores proper clearance and keeps the boom operating as intended.
