The Genie 1258668GT is a genuine OEM Square U-Bolt, 3/8-16, 4" x 4-5/8" designed for the AL5 with Vertical Mast light tower. Sourced directly from Genie, this hardware component meets the exact dimensional and material specifications of the original part. Cross-reference part number 1258668GT against your parts manual to confirm fitment before ordering. Replacing a worn or damaged U-bolt with this genuine part helps maintain the structural integrity of the mast assembly and keeps your light tower operating as intended.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hardware Grade — Manufactured to Genie's original thread and dimensional specifications for the 3/8-16 fastener class, ensuring consistent clamping force and thread engagement.
- Square Profile for Positive Clamping — The square U-bolt geometry seats flush against flat or tubular mast components, distributing load evenly and resisting rotation under vibration.
- Direct Fit for AL5 with Vertical Mast — Dimensioned at 4" x 4-5/8" to drop into the existing mast mounting position without rework or modification to surrounding hardware.
- Mast Structural Security — A correctly torqued U-bolt holds the mast section firmly in position; a loose or cracked unit can allow mast movement that compromises lighting alignment and operational stability.
- Safety-Relevant Fastener — On a vertical mast light tower, fastener integrity is directly linked to safe mast extension and retraction — using the correct OEM specification part is essential for maintaining the manufacturer's structural design intent.
A U-bolt is a threaded fastener shaped like the letter U, with both open ends threaded to accept nuts. On the AL5 light tower's vertical mast, this square U-bolt clamps mast components or associated hardware securely together, preventing movement during transport, setup, and operation. When a U-bolt stretches, corrodes, or cracks, the clamped joint can loosen, allowing unwanted play in the mast assembly that may affect stability and safe operation of the unit.
