The Genie 51.0809.6800GT is a genuine OEM Wear Pad Shim designed for the Genie GTH-1544 telehandler. Sourced directly from Genie, this shim is manufactured to the same dimensional standards as the original part installed at the factory. If wear pad clearance on your GTH-1544 is out of spec, this is the correct OEM component to restore it.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Accuracy — Produced to precise thickness tolerances, ensuring the shim delivers the correct wear pad clearance rather than an approximation.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered specifically for the GTH-1544; drops into the existing wear pad stack without rework or machining.
- GTH-1544 Fitment Confirmed — Verified for the Genie GTH-1544 telehandler. Cross-reference part number 51.0809.6800GT against your machine's parts manual before ordering.
- Restore Proper Boom Alignment — Correct shim thickness keeps wear pads properly tensioned, preventing unwanted play in the boom structure and maintaining smooth, controlled boom movement.
- Structural Integrity at Height — On a telehandler, boom slop caused by worn or missing shims affects load stability at extended reach; replacing this shim with a genuine OEM part helps keep the boom section operating as intended.
A wear pad shim is a thin, precision-dimensioned spacer that sets the correct clearance between the boom's wear pads and the inner boom tube surfaces. When wear pads wear down over time, shims are adjusted or replaced to bring the fit back within specification, eliminating side-to-side or vertical play in the boom sections. Excessive play in the boom structure can allow unwanted movement during lifting operations, accelerating wear on surrounding components and affecting load control. Replacing a worn or missing shim with the correct OEM part restores the intended fit, keeping the boom sections tracking smoothly and evenly under load.
