The Genie 73880GT is a genuine OEM Bottom Rod Wear Pad designed for Genie S-80 and S-85 telescopic boom lifts. Sourced directly from Genie, this part meets the same specifications as the component installed at the factory, ensuring a direct, hassle-free replacement. This wear pad is engineered to fit the boom rod assembly correctly, maintaining the structural alignment and smooth telescoping action these machines depend on. Cross-reference part number 73880GT against your Genie parts manual to confirm fitment before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Grade — Made from the same wear-resistant material spec as the original, so the pad absorbs rod contact loads without accelerating wear on surrounding boom components.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Seats into the bottom rod position of the boom assembly without rework, keeping installation straightforward and the machine back in service quickly.
- Confirmed Fitment for S-80 and S-85 — Verified for Genie S-80 and S-85 telescopic boom lifts; always cross-reference part number 73880GT with your serial number and parts manual.
- Protects Boom Rod Integrity — A correctly functioning wear pad absorbs friction and lateral load during boom extension, preventing metal-on-metal contact that can score the rod and compromise telescoping performance.
- Operational Safety for Elevated Work — On a telescopic boom operating at height, worn or missing wear pads can introduce unwanted rod movement and structural stress. Replacing this pad on schedule is a straightforward step toward maintaining boom integrity at elevation.
A bottom rod wear pad is a sacrificial component positioned along the boom's inner rod assembly to cushion and guide the rod as the boom extends and retracts. By absorbing the friction and contact forces generated during telescoping, it prevents direct metal-to-metal wear between the rod and surrounding boom structure. When this pad wears down or goes missing, the rod can develop scoring damage, the boom may telescope unevenly, and structural stress on the assembly increases — repairs that are far more involved than a simple pad replacement.
