The Genie 1278794GT is a genuine OEM Wear Pad, 9 X 3.5 X 0.813 with Nuts designed for Genie S-series telescopic boom lifts, including the S-40 XC, S-45 XC, S-40 TRAX, S-45 TRAX, S-40 HF, and S-45 HF. As a factory-sourced component, this wear pad meets the exact material and dimensional standards set by Genie for these machines. The included nuts mean everything needed for a complete swap arrives together, eliminating the need to source hardware separately. Cross-reference part number 1278794GT against your boom's parts manual before ordering to confirm fitment for your specific serial range and configuration.
Key Features
- OEM Material Grade — Sourced directly from Genie, this wear pad uses the same material compound specified for the original build, ensuring proper load distribution and wear characteristics across the boom structure.
- Complete Hardware Included — Ships with the mounting nuts already matched to the pad, so installation is straightforward and no additional hardware trips are needed.
- Correct Dimensional Fit — At 9 X 3.5 X 0.813, this pad seats precisely in the boom slider channel, maintaining the correct clearance between boom sections without shimming or adaptation.
- Broad S-Series Compatibility — Fits the S-40 XC, S-45 XC, S-40 TRAX, S-45 TRAX, S-40 HF, and S-45 HF telescopic boom lifts — covering multiple variant designations within the S-40 and S-45 families.
- Boom Extension Integrity — A worn or undersized pad allows metal-on-metal contact between boom sections, leading to accelerated structural wear and imprecise boom travel. Replacing this pad on schedule keeps extension and retraction smooth and controlled.
- Aerial-Lift Safety Relevance — On a telescopic boom, pad condition directly affects boom section alignment and stability at height. Using the correct OEM pad ensures the telescoping system performs within the tolerances the machine's load ratings depend on.
Wear pads act as sacrificial bearing surfaces between the nested boom sections of a telescopic boom lift. As the boom extends and retracts, these pads absorb the lateral and vertical forces that would otherwise cause direct metal contact between the inner and outer boom tubes. Over time, the pads wear down through normal use, and once they thin past a serviceable limit, boom section alignment degrades — causing play in the boom, uneven extension, and increased stress on the surrounding structure. Replacing this component at the first sign of excessive wear or looseness in the boom travel restores proper section-to-section contact geometry and keeps the telescoping system operating as designed.
