The Genie 7-173-05GT is a genuine OEM Threaded Spring Clip, 5/16 designed for Genie GTH telehandlers. Sourced directly from Genie, this clip is engineered to the exact specifications required by the GTH series, covering models including the GTH-636, GTH-644, GTH-842, GTH-844, GTH-1048, and GTH-1056. As a genuine OEM component, it installs without rework or fitment guesswork, threading directly into its mating point exactly as the original did. When retention hardware is compromised, replacing it promptly with the correct OEM part keeps critical assemblies properly secured and the machine operating as intended.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Retention Integrity — Manufactured to Genie's original thread engagement and spring-tension specifications, so the clip holds securely under the vibration and load cycles telehandler work demands.
- Direct Threaded Installation — The 5/16 threaded design matches the original fastener pattern exactly, threading into place without drilling, tapping, or adapting.
- Broad GTH Telehandler Coverage — Fits the GTH-636, GTH-644, GTH-842, GTH-844, GTH-1048, and GTH-1056, making it a practical stock item for fleets running multiple GTH models.
- Consistent Fastener Clamping — Correct spring tension ensures the clip maintains its grip across temperature changes and working loads, preventing the loosening that wears surrounding components over time.
- Structural Safety Relevance — On a telehandler, retention clips secure components along the boom and chassis that must stay fixed during lifting operations; using the correct OEM clip supports the structural reliability the machine's rated capacity depends on.
A threaded spring clip is a fastening component that combines the retention force of a spring with a threaded engagement point, allowing it to grip and hold assemblies firmly while still permitting controlled removal when servicing is needed. On GTH telehandlers, these clips are used to secure panels, covers, hoses, and structural subassemblies at points where vibration and repeated movement would cause a standard fixed fastener to loosen over time. When a clip loses its spring tension or its threads become damaged, the assembly it holds can shift, rattle, or detach — accelerating wear on adjacent components and, in load-bearing applications, creating a risk that needs to be addressed before the machine returns to work.
