The Genie 1278789GT is a genuine OEM Wear Pad Shim designed for Genie S-40 and S-45 series telescopic boom lifts, including XC, TRAX, and HF variants. As a genuine Genie part, it is manufactured to the same dimensional and material standards as the original component installed at the factory, ensuring a correct fit against the wear pad and boom structure it serves. This shim is the right choice when restoring proper wear pad clearance on the S-40 XC, S-45 XC, S-40 TRAX, S-45 TRAX, S-40 HF, and S-45 HF — cross-reference part number 1278789GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct item for your unit before ordering.
Key Features
- OEM Dimensional Conformity — Cut to a precise 9 x 3.5 profile at 16-gauge material thickness, matching the original shim specification for correct seating and consistent wear pad contact.
- Direct Replacement Fit — Installs in place of the original shim without reworking the wear pad pocket or surrounding structure, restoring the assembly to its correct configuration.
- Broad S-Series Compatibility — Fits the full S-40 and S-45 telescopic boom lift lineup across XC, TRAX, and HF variants, making it a practical stocking item for fleets running multiple configurations.
- Maintains Correct Boom Clearance — A properly shimmed wear pad keeps boom sections aligned and moving smoothly; a worn or missing shim allows unwanted play that accelerates wear on surrounding components.
- Genuine Genie OEM Part — Supplied directly through the Genie parts network, giving you confidence that the material grade and dimensions are exactly what the manufacturer specifies for this application.
A wear pad shim is a thin spacer placed behind or alongside a wear pad to set the correct clearance between the boom sections of a telescopic lift. Over time, wear pads compress or wear down, and the shim allows the clearance to be fine-tuned without replacing the entire wear pad assembly. When the shim is missing, damaged, or the wrong thickness, the boom sections can develop excessive play, leading to uneven wear pad contact, increased stress on structural components, and less precise boom movement. Replacing a worn shim with the correct OEM part restores proper alignment and helps extend the service life of the wear pads themselves.
