The Genie 73268GT is a genuine OEM Wheel, 16.5X9.75 designed for the S-40 and S-45 telescopic boom lifts. As a factory-sourced component, this wheel is built to the same specification as the part that left the assembly line, ensuring it seats and performs exactly as intended on these machines. Cross-reference part number 73268GT against your Genie parts manual to confirm fitment before ordering. This is a direct OEM replacement that keeps your S-40 or S-45 running at full operational capacity.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Sourced directly from Genie, this wheel meets the original load-bearing and dimensional standards specified for these telescopic booms — not a generic approximation.
- Correct Sizing for Direct Installation — The 16.5X9.75 profile matches the hub and axle interface on the S-40 and S-45, allowing straightforward installation without modification to mounting hardware.
- Confirmed Fitment for S-Series Telescopic Booms — Verified compatibility with the S-40 and S-45, two of Genie's widely deployed straight-boom platforms used across construction and industrial jobsites.
- Traction and Stability Where It Counts — A properly functioning drive wheel delivers consistent ground contact and maneuverability. A worn or damaged wheel can cause uneven tracking, reduced drive performance, and difficulty positioning the boom precisely.
- Operational Safety on Boom Lifts — Wheel integrity is directly tied to machine stability and controlled movement at height. Replacing a compromised wheel with a genuine OEM unit helps maintain the drive characteristics these machines are designed and rated to deliver.
The drive wheel on a telescopic boom lift is responsible for propelling and steering the machine across the ground, bearing both the machine's weight and any dynamic loads generated during travel. On lifts like the S-40 and S-45, the wheel must maintain consistent contact with the ground surface to allow accurate positioning and safe operation at elevation. When a wheel becomes worn, cracked, or damaged, drive performance deteriorates — the machine may pull to one side, lose traction on uneven terrain, or become difficult to control — making timely replacement essential to keeping the unit working as designed.
