The Genie 1697-400GT is a genuine OEM Black Trimlock, 3/16 x 4 Inches, designed for Genie Z-series articulating boom lifts including the Z-45/25J DC, Z-45/25J Bi-Energy, Z-45/25, Z-45 XC, and Z-51/30J. As a direct OEM replacement, this trimlock is manufactured to the same specification as the original installed at the factory, ensuring a consistent, secure fit with no guesswork. It is the correct part for maintaining the structural and aesthetic integrity of panel edges and enclosures on these articulating booms. Cross-reference part number 1697-400GT against your Genie parts manual to confirm fitment before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Grade — Produced to Genie's original compound and durometer specification, so the trimlock holds its grip and flexibility through the temperature swings and vibration typical on a working boom lift.
- Exact-Profile Channel Fit — The 3/16 x 4 inch channel profile seats directly onto the panel or sheet-metal edge it was engineered for, requiring no trimming or stretching to achieve a flush installation.
- Z-Series Articulating Boom Coverage — Confirmed fit across the Z-45/25J DC, Z-45/25J Bi-Energy, Z-45/25, Z-45 XC, and Z-51/30J, covering both standard and variant configurations of Genie's mid-range articulating boom family.
- Edge Protection That Stays Put — A correctly seated trimlock prevents sharp metal edges from cutting cables, hoses, or personnel — a trimlock that has cracked, shrunk, or pulled free leaves edges exposed and creates a hazard over time.
- Safe Platform Environment — On aerial work platforms, exposed panel edges near operator controls or structural enclosures are a genuine contact hazard; replacing a failed trimlock restores the protective barrier the machine was built with.
A trimlock is a flexible channel-section edging strip that clips onto the raw or folded edge of a sheet-metal panel, cover, or enclosure. Its primary job is to protect anything that contacts that edge — wiring harnesses, hydraulic hoses, and personnel — from cuts and abrasion. On articulating boom lifts, panels and covers are subject to constant vibration and movement through the full range of boom articulation, which gradually fatigues and degrades the trimlock material. When the strip cracks, shrinks, or detaches, the bare metal edge is left exposed. Replacing it promptly with the correct OEM piece restores edge protection and keeps the surrounding components — particularly hoses and cables routed near panel openings — from wearing prematurely.
