The Genie 29173GT is a genuine OEM Super-Straddle Vertical Tube Wear Pad designed for the Genie Super-Straddle material lift. Sourced directly from Genie, this part meets the original engineering specifications for the vertical mast assembly on the Super-Straddle, ensuring proper fit without modification. Cross-reference part number 29173GT against your parts manual to confirm this is the correct wear pad for your unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Grade — Manufactured to the same wear-resistant material specification as the original, maintaining the correct friction and sliding characteristics within the vertical tube assembly.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to seat precisely within the vertical tube channel of the Super-Straddle mast, restoring smooth mast travel without fitting adjustments.
- Confirmed Super-Straddle Fitment — Designed specifically for the Genie Super-Straddle, so you can order with confidence that this pad is the correct application match.
- Restores Smooth Mast Operation — A worn or degraded wear pad allows metal-on-metal contact inside the vertical tube, causing rough, binding mast movement and accelerating wear on surrounding components. Replacing it promptly keeps the mast sliding freely under load.
- Operational Safety Integrity — The wear pad is a load-path component in a manually operated lift. Keeping it in serviceable condition supports stable, controlled lifting and lowers the risk of unexpected mast play during use.
The vertical tube wear pad is a sacrificial sliding element positioned inside the mast assembly of the Super-Straddle. Its job is to act as a buffer between the moving mast tube and its guide channel, absorbing friction and preventing metal-to-metal wear as the mast travels up and down under load. Over time, repeated use gradually erodes the pad material, and once it wears through, the mast begins to bind, wobble, or move unevenly — conditions that put unnecessary stress on the surrounding structure and compromise load control. Replacing this wear pad at the first sign of increased play or rough travel is one of the simplest ways to protect the broader mast assembly and keep the Super-Straddle performing as intended.
