The Genie 11855GT is a genuine OEM SST Shim Washer designed for PLC PLI personnel lifts and Z-30/20 and Z-45/22 articulating boom lifts. As a factory-sourced component, this washer carries the exact material grade and dimensional tolerancing specified by Genie engineers for these machines. Cross-reference part number 11855GT against your parts manual to confirm it matches your unit's configuration before ordering.
Key Features
- Stainless Steel Construction — Made from SST (stainless steel) for corrosion resistance in exposed pivot and hinge locations where shim washers are commonly positioned.
- Precision Thickness Control — The .015 thickness spec allows technicians to dial in exact clearances and eliminate unwanted play in critical joint assemblies without guesswork.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Sourced directly from Genie, this shim washer drops into the same position as the original, requiring no trimming, grinding, or modification to seat correctly.
- Broad Compatibility Across Lift Families — Fits Genie PLC PLI personnel lifts and Z-30/20 and Z-45/22 articulating boom lifts, making it a useful stock item for fleets running mixed Genie equipment.
- Structural Integrity at Pivot Points — A worn or missing shim washer allows metal-to-metal contact and misalignment at pivot joints, accelerating wear on surrounding components and affecting smooth articulation.
- Safe Clearance Maintenance on Aerial Equipment — On articulating boom lifts, correct joint clearances are critical to platform stability and smooth boom movement; this washer restores those clearances to specification.
A shim washer is a thin, precision-thickness spacer installed between mating components — typically at pivot points, pin joints, or rotating assemblies — to set the correct clearance and prevent unwanted lateral movement. On articulating boom lifts and personnel lifts, these joints are under constant load and motion, so maintaining the right gap is essential to smooth, predictable operation. When a shim washer wears down or is missing entirely, the resulting play in the joint can cause accelerated wear on pins, bushings, and surrounding structure, and may lead to imprecise or jerky movement in the affected assembly.
