The Genie 231046GT Z135 Latch Shim is a genuine OEM component designed for the Z-135/70 and ZX-135/70 articulating boom lifts. Sourced directly from Genie, this shim delivers the precise tolerancing required to maintain correct latch alignment and engagement on these large-platform booms. Cross-reference 231046GT against your parts manual to confirm fitment before ordering. When a worn or out-of-spec shim is replaced with this OEM part, the latch assembly returns to its engineered specification — keeping the machine operating as intended.
Key Features
- OEM-Spec Thickness Tolerancing — Manufactured to Genie's exact dimensional spec, ensuring the shim fills the correct gap within the latch assembly without play or stack-up error.
- Drop-In Latch Assembly Fit — Installs directly into the latch mechanism on Z-135/70 and ZX-135/70 booms, aligning with existing hardware and mounting points.
- Confirmed Fitment for Z-135/70 and ZX-135/70 — Engineered specifically for these high-reach articulating boom models; not a generic shim adapted from another platform.
- Restores Proper Latch Engagement — A correctly shimmed latch closes and retains its position under load and vibration, preventing the slop and misalignment that a worn shim causes.
- Structural Latch Integrity on High-Reach Equipment — On booms operating at extreme heights, a properly functioning latch assembly is critical to structural and operational integrity; this genuine OEM shim helps maintain that standard.
A latch shim is a precision spacer fitted within a latch mechanism to set the correct clearance and engagement depth between mating components. On large articulating boom lifts like the Z-135/70, latch assemblies are used at key structural or access points — such as platform gates or boom section locks — where controlled movement and positive retention are required. Over time, shims can wear, compress, or deform, introducing unwanted play into the latch that can cause incomplete engagement or excessive movement. Replacing a degraded shim with a correctly dimensioned OEM part restores the designed fit and ensures the latch functions with the same precision it had from the factory.
