The Genie 227917GT Flat Washer, 1/2 is a genuine OEM hardware component designed for the GTH-1048 and GTH-1056 telehandlers. Sourced directly from Genie, this washer matches the original specification used on these machines, so it seats and torques correctly without any guesswork. Whether you are performing scheduled maintenance or a targeted repair, this flat washer delivers the correct load distribution and surface protection the fastener assembly calls for. Cross-reference part number 227917GT against your parts manual to confirm fitment before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hardware Integrity — Manufactured to the exact material grade and dimensional tolerances specified for these telehandler assemblies, ensuring the washer bears load and distributes clamping force the way the original design intended.
- Drop-In Installation — This 1/2 flat washer is sized to seat directly onto the correct fastener without modification, keeping your repair straightforward and accurate.
- Confirmed GTH Telehandler Fitment — Verified for the GTH-1048 and GTH-1056, two of Genie's heavy-duty telescopic handler models used across commercial and industrial worksites.
- Proper Load Distribution — A correctly rated flat washer prevents fastener pull-through, surface damage, and joint loosening — issues that can compromise structural connections and lead to more extensive repairs if overlooked.
- Structural Safety Compliance — On aerial and lifting equipment, fastener hardware integrity directly affects the reliability of structural joints. Using the correct OEM washer supports the torque and clamping specifications the machine was engineered to.
A flat washer serves a straightforward but critical role in any bolted joint: it spreads the clamping load of a fastener over a wider surface area, reducing stress concentration on the mating material and helping maintain consistent joint tension over time. On telehandlers like the GTH-1048 and GTH-1056 — machines that handle heavy loads and operate across demanding terrain — keeping fastener assemblies properly spec'd matters for the integrity of every bolted connection on the unit. When a washer is missing, undersized, or worn, fastener heads can pull through softer materials, joints can loosen prematurely, and threaded connections become prone to failure under vibration and dynamic load.
