The Genie 34178GT is a genuine OEM Bottom Ext. Rod Bottom Wear Pad designed for Genie S-80 and S-85 telescopic boom lifts. Sourced directly through the Genie OEM supply chain, this wear pad delivers the exact material composition, dimensions, and fit required by the original design. It is a direct replacement for the worn or damaged pad on your extension rod assembly, covering S-80 and S-85 boom models. Cross-reference part number 34178GT against your Genie parts manual to confirm application before ordering.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Wear Material — Manufactured to the same material hardness and low-friction specification as the original, ensuring the extension rod slides and retracts with the correct resistance characteristics.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Seats into the same pocket and retains with the same hardware as the original pad, so installation follows the standard Genie service procedure without rework.
- Confirmed Fitment for S-80 and S-85 Booms — Purpose-built for Genie S-80 and S-85 telescopic boom lifts, so you can order with confidence that this is the correct part for those platforms.
- Protects the Extension Rod and Boom Structure — A properly functioning wear pad absorbs metal-on-metal contact during boom extension and retraction, protecting the rod surface and boom tube from scoring and premature wear.
- Aerial-Lift Safety Compliance — Worn or missing wear pads can introduce lateral play into the boom extension, affecting boom stability at height. Replacing this pad on schedule is a genuine structural and safety maintenance item for any aerial work platform.
Wear pads in a telescopic boom act as low-friction bearing surfaces that guide and support the extending boom sections as they telescope in and out. The bottom extension rod wear pad specifically cushions and centers the rod at its lower contact point, preventing direct metal-to-metal contact between the rod and the surrounding boom structure. When this pad wears through, the extension rod can develop slop and vibration, accelerating damage to both the rod and the boom tube and compromising the controlled, smooth extension the operator depends on when positioning the platform at height.
