The Genie 81972GT is a genuine OEM Tow Bar Weldment designed for Genie S-series telescopic boom lifts, including the S-80X, S-80, S-85, S-80 XC, S-85 XC, S-80 HF, and S-85 HF. As a factory-sourced component, this weldment is manufactured to the same standards as the original part, ensuring a direct, trouble-free installation. Cross-reference part number 81972GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm fitment before ordering. When the tow bar shows signs of damage, deformation, or wear, replacing it with the correct OEM weldment is the straightforward path to restoring safe and legal transport capability.
Key Features
- Factory-Matched Construction — Fabricated to OEM weld geometry and material specifications, so this weldment matches the structural profile of the original tow bar exactly as Genie intended.
- Direct-Mount Replacement — Engineered to align with the existing mounting points on S-80 and S-85 series telescopic booms, so installation follows the standard service procedure without rework or fabrication.
- Broad S-Series Compatibility — Fits the S-80X, S-80, S-85, S-80 XC, S-85 XC, S-80 HF, and S-85 HF, covering the full range of these telescopic boom variants in a single part number.
- Restored Towing Integrity — A damaged or bent tow bar compromises the machine's ability to be safely repositioned on the jobsite; this weldment restores the structural connection between the machine and tow vehicle.
- Road-Transport Safety — The tow bar is a load-bearing link during machine transport — replacing a compromised weldment with a genuine OEM part is essential to maintaining the safety of towing operations on public roads and job sites.
The tow bar weldment is the structural assembly that connects a telescopic boom lift to a tow vehicle for transport between locations. It transfers the towing load directly into the machine's frame, so its structural integrity is critical — a cracked weld, bent tube, or corroded mounting point can create an unsafe towing condition or cause the machine to break free during transit. Over time, repeated towing cycles, accidental impacts, and outdoor exposure can degrade the weldment, making periodic inspection and timely replacement an important part of keeping the machine mobile and transport-ready.
