Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Conformity — Manufactured to Genie's exact thread and size specification (1/2-13 x 8.5), ensuring the correct thread engagement and clamping geometry for the intended mounting point.
- Direct Hardware Replacement — Matches the original fastener profile, allowing straightforward installation with standard tooling and no rework to the surrounding structure.
- Broad Boom Lift Coverage — Fits a wide range of Genie S and SX telescopic boom lifts and Z and ZX articulating boom lifts, making it a practical stocking item for fleets running multiple boom lift models.
- Secure Clamping Performance — A correctly sized and properly torqued U-bolt holds its clamped component firmly in position; a damaged or incorrectly sized fastener can allow movement, vibration, and accelerated wear at the mounting point.
- Structural Fastener Integrity — On aerial boom lifts, maintaining the integrity of structural and mounting hardware is fundamental to safe machine operation at height; replacing a worn or damaged fastener with the correct OEM part restores that integrity.
A U-bolt is a threaded fastener shaped like the letter U, with both open ends threaded to accept nuts. It is used to clamp a round or shaped component — such as a tube, pipe, or structural member — securely against a mounting surface, preventing movement in any direction. When a U-bolt becomes corroded, stripped, bent, or otherwise damaged, the clamped component can shift under load or vibration, potentially leading to wear, noise, or loss of secure attachment. Replacing a failed U-bolt with the correct OEM fastener, properly torqued, restores the secure, stable connection the machine depends on.
