Key Features
- OEM-Grade Stud Material and Thread Integrity — Manufactured to Genie OEM standards, this wheel stud meets the thread pitch, shank diameter, and tensile strength requirements critical for safe wheel retention on heavy aerial equipment.
- Direct Hub Replacement — Engineered to install directly into the Z-80/60 wheel hub assembly, matching the original press-fit or threaded engagement of the Omni VB11 specification stud.
- Confirmed Fitment for the Z-80/60 — This stud is specifically validated for the Genie Z-80/60 articulating boom lift, so you can order with confidence knowing it is the correct part for this machine.
- Maintains Proper Wheel Clamping Force — A correctly fitted wheel stud ensures lug nuts torque to spec, preserving the clamping load that keeps the wheel assembly secure through the demanding drive cycles of a large articulating boom.
- Safety-Critical Component — Wheel studs are a foundational structural fastener on any self-propelled machine. A worn, stripped, or broken stud compromises wheel integrity and must be replaced with a part that meets the original specification — making OEM sourcing essential for this application.
A wheel stud is the threaded fastener pressed or anchored into the wheel hub that the lug nut threads onto to clamp the wheel securely to the axle. On a large articulating boom lift like the Z-80/60, wheel studs must withstand significant lateral and vertical loads during travel, steering, and positioning on uneven terrain. When a stud becomes stripped, cracked, or broken, the affected wheel position cannot be properly torqued, creating a safety risk that requires immediate replacement before the machine is returned to service.
