Key Features
- Genuine OEM Part — Manufactured to Genie's exact requirements, this flat washer matches the original hardware in material grade, outer diameter, and bore size — no guesswork on fit.
- Broad Light Tower Fitment — Compatible with multiple Genie and Terex portable light tower models, including the AL5000, AL5HT, AL5, AL5 with Vertical Mast, and RL4.
- Proper Load Distribution — A correctly sized flat washer spreads clamping load across the fastened surface, protecting components from damage and keeping assemblies secure over time.
- Direct OEM Replacement — This washer installs in place of the original without modification, keeping your repair straightforward and your machine back on the job quickly.
A flat washer serves as a load-distributing interface between a fastener head or nut and the surface it clamps. By spreading the clamping force over a wider area, it protects softer materials from being crushed or deformed and helps maintain consistent tension in the assembly. When a washer is missing, undersized, or corroded through, the fastener can work loose or damage the surrounding material — leading to failed connections and the need for more extensive repairs. Replacing a worn or missing washer with the correct OEM item restores the integrity of the joint and is a straightforward step in keeping light tower assemblies properly secured.
