The Genie R980010GT is a genuine OEM Flat Washer, 5/16 designed for the Genie AL5HT light tower. Sourced directly from Genie, this flat washer meets the exact specifications of the original hardware used in AL5HT assembly, ensuring it seats and functions exactly as intended. When you need a like-for-like hardware replacement, this is the part to reach for — cross-reference R980010GT against your AL5HT parts manual to confirm the correct position before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hardware Grade — Manufactured to the same material and dimensional standards as the original, ensuring correct load distribution and surface contact for the fastener joint it supports.
- Direct Drop-In Fit — The 5/16 sizing matches the original fastener stack in the AL5HT, slipping onto the bolt shank without adjustment or rework.
- Purpose-Built for the AL5HT Light Tower — Verified for use on the Genie AL5HT, so you can order with confidence knowing this washer corresponds to the correct OEM application.
- Protects Fastener Joints from Wear — A properly sized flat washer distributes clamping load evenly across the mating surface, preventing fastener pull-through, surface damage, and premature joint loosening in service.
- Supports Structural Integrity on Powered Equipment — On light towers that operate in mobile and outdoor environments, correctly installed fastener hardware keeps panels, brackets, and mast components secure through vibration and load cycles.
A flat washer serves as a load-spreading interface between a fastener — a bolt head or nut — and the surface it clamps against. By distributing the clamping force over a wider area, it prevents the fastener from pulling through or damaging softer materials and helps maintain consistent joint tension over time. When a washer is missing, undersized, or worn, the fastener joint can loosen prematurely or cause surface damage to the component it secures, which is especially problematic on equipment exposed to vibration during transport or operation.
