JCB Boom Wear Pad Shim 1.6mm - 331/40827
The 1.6 mm thick spacer shim is an essential component for the precise adjustment of clearances in JCB telescopic handler boom sections. Used beneath Teflon wear pads, it allows for optimal fitting of the boom segments, eliminating lateral movement (swaying) when working with heavy attachments and reducing vibrations transmitted to the machine structure.
Technical Specification:
- Thickness: 1.6 mm.
- Application: Eliminating axial and lateral play of the telescopic boom.
- Function: Proper positioning of the wear pad relative to the boom frame.
Compatibility with JCB Telescopic Handlers:

Workshop Tip: Proper boom adjustment using spacer shims significantly extends the lifespan of the Teflon wear pads themselves and protects the steel structure from abrasion. Clearances should be checked regularly, especially after intensive work in dusty environments. Excessive play can lead to dangerous "jumping" or "shuddering" of the telescopic sections when lifting loads to high elevations.
