The Genie 218449GT is a genuine OEM Shoulder Nylon Washer designed for Genie S series telescopic boom lifts and Z series articulating boom lifts. As a factory-sourced component, this washer delivers the exact material grade, shoulder dimensions, and load-bearing profile required by the original machine design. It is a direct replacement for a wide range of boom lift configurations, including models S-60 XC, S-65 XC, S-60 HF, S-65 HF, S-80 XC, S-85 XC. Cross-reference part number 218449GT against your Genie parts manual to confirm fitment for your specific unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Nylon Grade — Sourced directly from Genie, this washer is manufactured from the same nylon compound specified in the original design, ensuring correct load distribution and chemical resistance in aerial-lift service conditions.
- Shouldered Profile for Positive Seating — The raised shoulder locates and retains the washer precisely in its bore, preventing misalignment during assembly and keeping mating components properly spaced under load.
- Broad Boom Lift Coverage — Fits a wide range of Genie S series telescopic booms (including XC, HF, TRAX, DC, FE, and Hybrid variants) and Z series articulating booms (including Z-45/25, Z-60/37, Z-62/40, and Z-51/30J variants).
- Protects Metal Mating Surfaces — A correctly functioning nylon shoulder washer cushions contact between metal fasteners and structural components, preventing fretting, corrosion, and accelerated wear at pivot and pin locations.
- Structural Integrity on Elevated Platforms — On boom lifts operating at height, worn or missing washers at pivot and pin points can introduce unwanted play into the boom structure. Replacing this component promptly maintains the tight tolerances the machine depends on for safe, stable operation.
A shoulder nylon washer serves as a precision spacer and bearing surface between metal fasteners, pins, or structural members. The nylon material isolates dissimilar metals, absorbs vibration, and distributes clamping loads evenly across the joint face, protecting the surrounding hardware from galling and premature wear. When this washer cracks, deforms, or goes missing, the resulting metal-to-metal contact at pivot points and pin bores can cause accelerated wear, increased joint play, and noise — all of which affect the controlled movement and structural stability that boom lift operation demands.
