The Genie 81738-2700GT is a genuine OEM Aluminized Round Steel Tube, 3 x 18GA, designed for the Z-135/70 articulating boom lift. Sourced directly from Genie, this structural tube matches the original component in material grade, wall gauge, and dimensional profile — ensuring it seats and integrates exactly as the factory intended. When it comes to structural members on a large articulating boom, precision fit is non-negotiable, and this part delivers exactly that for Z-135/70 operators and service teams.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Steel Grade and Gauge — Manufactured to the same 18GA aluminized steel specification as the original, providing the corrosion resistance and structural integrity the Z-135/70 demands in demanding jobsite conditions.
- Direct Structural Replacement — Dimensioned to the original 3-inch round profile, this tube drops into the assembly without modification, maintaining original load paths and attachment points.
- Purpose-Built for the Z-135/70 — Confirmed fitment for the Genie Z-135/70 articulating boom lift, one of the tallest and most powerful units in the Genie Z-boom family.
- Aluminized Finish for Lasting Protection — The aluminized coating guards against rust and surface degradation, extending service life in outdoor and variable-weather environments where large booms routinely operate.
- Structural Integrity Supports Safe Operation — On an articulating boom of this size, a compromised structural tube can affect boom stability and platform control. Replacing a damaged or worn tube with a genuine OEM part restores the structural baseline the machine was engineered around.
A round steel tube of this specification serves as a load-bearing or frame structural member within the boom assembly, transferring forces and maintaining the geometry of the boom's structure under extension, articulation, and rated platform loads. On a large articulating boom like the Z-135/70, these tubes are integral to the overall rigidity and alignment of the boom system. When a structural tube is damaged — whether through impact, corrosion, or fatigue — it can compromise the integrity of surrounding welds and joints, making timely replacement with a correctly specified part essential for restoring the machine to its designed operating condition.
