The Genie 106843GT is a genuine OEM Square U-Bolt, 1/4-20, 3.5x3.5 designed for Genie Z-135/70 and ZX-135/70 articulating boom lifts. Sourced directly from Genie, this fastener delivers the exact thread specification, bend radius, and leg dimensions called out in the original equipment design — no guesswork, no substitutions. Cross-reference 106843GT against your parts manual to confirm this is the correct fastener for your machine's configuration. When precision hardware matters on a machine working at this class of height, using the verified OEM part is the straightforward choice.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Thread Integrity — 1/4-20 threading matched to the exact pitch and engagement depth specified for the original assembly, ensuring proper clamp load without stripping or backing out.
- Correct Square Geometry — The 3.5x3.5 square form factor seats flush against the mounting surface it was engineered for, maintaining alignment without shimming or modification.
- Verified Fitment for Z-135/70 and ZX-135/70 — Designed specifically for Genie's large-format articulating boom lifts, this fastener supports the structural and clamping demands of these machines.
- OEM Material Grade — Manufactured to the same material and hardness spec as the original, maintaining consistent clamping force across the full range of operating conditions these booms encounter.
- Structural Fastener Reliability — A U-bolt that has loosened, corroded, or been replaced with an off-spec part can compromise the component it secures; using the correct part maintains the clamping integrity of the assembly.
- Safety-Critical Hardware — On high-reach articulating booms, every structural fastener in the assembly contributes to overall machine integrity — replacing like-for-like with a genuine OEM part keeps the platform performing as designed.
A U-bolt is a threaded fastener shaped like the letter "U" with threads on both open ends, used to clamp, secure, or route components against a fixed surface or bracket. On large articulating boom lifts such as the Z-135/70 and ZX-135/70, U-bolts are commonly used to fasten hose bundles, cable runs, or structural components in place, preventing movement, chafing, and vibration-induced wear during machine operation. When a U-bolt loosens, breaks, or corrodes, the component it holds can shift or come free — leading to accelerated wear on adjacent parts or loss of support for critical systems.
