The Genie 34168GT is a genuine OEM Top Rod Support Wear Pad designed for the S-80 and S-85 telescopic boom lifts. Sourced directly from Genie, this wear pad delivers an exact match to the original component, ensuring correct positioning and contact with no guesswork on fitment. Cross-reference part number 34168GT against your parts manual to confirm application before ordering. Verified compatibility with the S-80 and S-85 means this pad is ready to install and return your boom to full working condition.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Grade — Manufactured to Genie's original wear-resistance specification, so the pad holds up under the same load and friction conditions as the part it replaces.
- Direct Bolt-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting profile at the top rod support location, seating correctly without modification or shimming.
- Confirmed Fitment for S-80 and S-85 Booms — Engineered specifically for Genie's S-80 and S-85 telescopic boom lifts, eliminating compatibility concerns on these machines.
- Smooth Boom Extension — A properly conditioned wear pad reduces metal-on-metal contact at the rod support, allowing the boom sections to extend and retract evenly without binding or uneven load transfer.
- Structural Safety Relevance — Wear pads at the rod support bear real structural loads during boom operation. A worn or missing pad can allow lateral movement in the boom sections, creating instability at height — replacing it on schedule is a straightforward safety measure.
A top rod support wear pad sits at the upper contact point between the boom's inner rod and its guide structure, acting as a sacrificial buffer that absorbs friction and load as the boom extends and retracts. By taking on the wear that would otherwise occur on the structural metal surfaces, the pad preserves the integrity of the boom assembly over time. When the pad wears through or degrades, operators may notice uneven boom movement, increased vibration, or audible metal contact — all signs that replacement is overdue.
