Key Features
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Designed as a drop-in replacement that installs exactly as the original, with no additional hardware or modification needed.
- Broad Light Tower Compatibility — Fits multiple Genie and Terex portable light tower families, including AL4000, AL5000, AL4, AL5, AL5 with Vertical Mast, RL4, and RL4 Vertical Mast units.
- Secure Fastening — The star-tooth profile bites into mating surfaces under load, resisting loosening caused by vibration during transport and operation — a common cause of fastener failure on mobile equipment.
- Small Part, Real Consequence — A missing or worn lock washer allows fasteners to back out over time. Using the correct OEM replacement keeps connections tight and avoids the wear that follows a loose joint.
A lock star washer is a hardened fastening component that sits between a bolt or nut and the mating surface it bears against. Its serrated teeth dig into both surfaces when the fastener is torqued down, creating resistance that prevents the fastener from backing out under vibration or cyclical load. On portable light towers that are regularly towed, repositioned, and subjected to engine vibration, lock washers play a straightforward but important role in keeping structural and mechanical connections secure. When a lock washer is lost, deformed, or installed in the wrong size, the fastener it supports can loosen progressively — leading to movement, wear on the joint, and eventually a failed connection that requires more than just a new washer to repair.
