The Genie 71838GT is a genuine OEM Lower Guide Wear Pad designed for GS-2668 RT, GS-3268 RT, GS-2668 DC, and GS-3268 DC rough-terrain and electric-drive scissor lifts. Sourced directly from Genie, this part meets the same specifications as the component originally installed on the machine, ensuring an exact match for the lower scissor guide channel. Cross-reference part number 71838GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm fitment before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Integrity — Manufactured to Genie's original wear-surface specifications, so the pad delivers the same hardness, thickness, and low-friction profile as the part it replaces.
- Direct Slide-In Replacement — Engineered to seat into the lower guide channel without reworking the mounting pocket, keeping installation straightforward for service technicians.
- Confirmed Fitment for GS68 Scissors — Fits GS-2668 RT, GS-3268 RT, GS-2668 DC, and GS-3268 DC scissor lifts — the heavy-duty rough-terrain and electric-drive variants in the GS-2668/3268 family.
- Protects Structural Components — A healthy wear pad absorbs contact stress between the scissor arm and guide rail; a worn-out pad transfers that load directly to the steel structure, accelerating wear on more expensive components.
- Scissor Stack Alignment — Correct pad thickness keeps the scissor assembly tracking squarely through its full range of travel, which is critical for safe, smooth platform raise-and-lower cycles on elevated work platforms.
The lower guide wear pad is a sacrificial friction component positioned where the scissor arm slides through its lower guide channel during platform elevation and descent. Its job is to cushion and absorb the lateral and vertical contact forces generated as the scissor stack extends and retracts, protecting both the arm and the guide rail from metal-to-metal wear. When the pad wears down to the point where it can no longer fill the guide clearance, the scissor assembly develops play in the channel — leading to uneven platform movement, abnormal noise, and accelerated structural wear that can compromise machine performance over time.
