Key Features
- Zinc-Plated SAE Grade Hardware — The 5/16 ZP (zinc-plated) SAE finish provides corrosion resistance suited to outdoor jobsite environments where light towers operate.
- Direct OEM Replacement — This flat washer installs directly in place of the original, using the same dimensions and hole pattern — no sizing adjustments needed.
- Broad Light Tower Compatibility — Fits Genie AL-series and RL-series light towers as well as Terex TML-4000 units, covering a wide range of portable lighting equipment.
- Load Distribution Where It Counts — A correctly sized washer spreads fastener load evenly across the mating surface, protecting hardware and the surrounding material from damage caused by an undersized or missing washer.
- Genuine Genie OEM Part — Sourced directly through the Genie OEM supply chain, this component meets the same material and dimensional standards as the part it replaces.
A flat washer serves a straightforward but important role in any bolted assembly: it distributes the clamping load of a fastener over a wider surface area, reducing the risk of the bolt head or nut pulling through or deforming the material it bears against. On light towers like the AL5000, RL4000, and TML-4000, hardware is subject to vibration from the onboard generator and engine, making properly sized, correctly graded washers essential to keeping fastened joints tight and secure over time. When a washer is missing, worn, or the wrong size, fasteners can work loose prematurely, leading to structural play, component damage, or the need for more extensive repairs.
