The Genie 73889GT is a genuine OEM Top Rod Wear Pad designed for S-80 and S-85 telescopic boom lifts. Sourced directly from Genie, this pad meets the exact material and dimensional standards of the original component installed at the factory. It is a direct replacement for the worn or damaged wear pad on the top rod position of the boom's telescoping section, fitting the S-80 and S-85 without modification. Keeping this wear pad in good condition is essential to the smooth, controlled extension of the boom and the long-term protection of the surrounding structural components.
Key Features
- Correct OEM Material Grade — Manufactured to Genie's specified hardness and wear-resistance rating for top rod applications, so the pad performs exactly as the original.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original profile and mounting arrangement on the top rod position, allowing straightforward installation without reworking hardware or adjacent components.
- Fits S-80 and S-85 Telescopic Booms — Verified fitment for both the S-80 and S-85, two of Genie's widely deployed large-frame telescopic boom lifts.
- Protects Boom Structure — Acts as a sacrificial buffer between moving boom sections, absorbing contact forces and preventing metal-on-metal wear that would damage the rod and boom tube over time.
- Safety-Critical Fit — Proper lateral support of the boom rod during extension and retraction depends on this pad being intact; a worn or missing pad can introduce play into the boom structure, affecting load stability at height.
A top rod wear pad is a low-friction buffer that supports and guides the telescoping boom rod as it slides in and out of the outer boom section during extension and retraction. By maintaining controlled contact between the rod and the boom tube, the pad prevents direct metal contact, reducing wear on both components and keeping boom movement smooth and aligned. When this pad wears through or breaks down, the rod loses proper support, leading to increased vibration, accelerated structural wear, and potential instability in the extended boom — making timely replacement a straightforward way to protect both the machine and the personnel working from it.
