The Genie 36424GT is a genuine OEM Thumb Screw with Shoulder, 3/8-16, designed for Genie Z-series articulating boom lifts. As a direct OEM replacement, this fastener is manufactured to the same specifications as the original hardware, ensuring a correct, tool-free fit on the models it was built for. Confirmed fitment includes a broad range of Z-series booms, including the Z-30/20 N, Z-34/22 Bi-Energy, Z-45/25J DC, and ZX-135/70, among others. Cross-reference part number 36424GT against your Genie parts manual to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Key Features
- OEM-Spec Thread Engagement — Manufactured to the original 3/8-16 thread specification, delivering the same torque feel and seating depth as the part it replaces.
- Shouldered Design for Positive Positioning — The integrated shoulder provides a consistent stop point during installation, ensuring the fastener seats correctly without over-tightening.
- Broad Z-Series Compatibility — Fits a wide range of Genie articulating boom lifts across the Z-30, Z-34, Z-45, Z-33, and Z-135 families, including DC, Bi-Energy, and N variants.
- Hand-Operable Access Hardware — Thumb screw design allows tool-free removal and reinstallation, keeping routine access panels and covers easy to open during inspections and servicing.
- Operational Integrity on Aerial Equipment — A stripped, missing, or incorrect thumb screw on an articulating boom can compromise panel retention at height; using the correct OEM part maintains the secure fit the machine was engineered for.
A thumb screw with shoulder is a hand-tightened fastener used to secure access covers, panels, or guards on equipment where frequent removal is required — no tools needed for routine service access. The shouldered section acts as a built-in depth limiter, preventing over-insertion and ensuring the mating component is held at the correct position every time. When this hardware is worn, cross-threaded, or missing entirely, panels can work loose during operation, exposing internal components to contamination or creating a potential hazard at elevation on articulating boom lifts.
