The Genie 51.0809.4000GT is a genuine OEM Wear Pad Shim built for Genie GTH series telehandlers. As a direct OEM replacement, this shim is manufactured to the same specifications as the original part, ensuring proper fit and function across the compatible GTH lineup. Confirmed fitment includes the GTH-2506, GTH-2506 AU, GTH-2506 AU.2, GTH-3007, GTH-3007 AU.2, GTH-3007 AU-AG, GTH-3007 ACF, GTH-3512 ACF, GTH-3713 SX, and GTH-3713 AU — cross-reference part number 51.0809.4000GT against your machine's parts manual before ordering to confirm the correct application for your unit.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Genie's original dimensional tolerances, ensuring the shim seats correctly and delivers the same service life as the factory-installed part.
- Exact-Match Replacement — Engineered to install directly in place of the original wear pad shim with no modification to the surrounding assembly.
- Broad GTH Telehandler Fitment — Compatible with multiple GTH series configurations including the GTH-2506, GTH-3007, and GTH-3713 AU, among other variants. Always verify against your parts manual.
- Wear Compensation — Shims in wear pad assemblies maintain correct clearances between sliding surfaces. Replacing a worn or out-of-spec shim restores proper tolerances and prevents accelerated wear on adjacent components.
- Supports Structural Integrity — Correct shimming of wear pads is critical on telehandlers, where boom and carriage loads are transferred through these contact surfaces. A missing or worn shim can lead to looseness, noise, and premature wear in the boom structure.
A wear pad shim is a precision spacer used to set and maintain the correct clearance between a boom section's wear pads and the boom tube surfaces they ride against. On a telehandler, the boom extends and retracts under load, and the wear pads bear the sliding contact forces generated during those movements. The shim sits behind or beneath the wear pad to bring the pad into the correct contact position — too little clearance causes binding and accelerated pad wear, while too much allows unwanted play in the boom. When a shim becomes deformed, compressed, or lost during service, replacing it with the correct OEM part restores the designed clearance and keeps the boom assembly operating smoothly.
