The Genie 106846GT is a genuine OEM Counterbalance Valve designed for the Z-135/70 and ZX-135/70 articulating boom lifts. As a direct Genie OEM replacement, this valve meets the original engineering specifications for these large-platform booms, giving you confidence that the hydraulic circuit performs exactly as intended. Cross-reference part number 106846GT against your Genie parts manual to confirm fitment for your specific serial range before ordering.
Key Features
- OEM-Rated Pressure Calibration — Factory-set at 4000 PSI to match the hydraulic relief requirements of the Z-135/70 and ZX-135/70, ensuring the circuit operates within its designed pressure envelope.
- Direct-Swap Hydraulic Fitment — Threaded and ported to the original specification, this valve connects directly into the existing hydraulic circuit without line modifications or adapter fittings.
- Verified Compatibility — Confirmed fitment for Genie Z-135/70 and ZX-135/70 articulating boom lifts; always verify against your serial number and parts manual before installation.
- Sustained Boom Control — A correctly functioning counterbalance valve holds the boom in position under load and controls descent speed; a failed or drifting valve causes uncontrolled boom movement and erratic operation.
- Critical Safety Function — On large articulating booms, the counterbalance valve is a core safety component. Using a genuine OEM unit ensures the pressure rating and valve behavior align with Genie's original safety design for elevated personnel operations.
A counterbalance valve is a hydraulic load-holding and motion-control component installed in the boom's hydraulic circuit. Its job is to prevent unintended movement — holding the boom firmly in position when the operator is not actively commanding a function, and metering flow in a controlled way during lowering so the boom descends smoothly rather than dropping under its own weight and load. When this valve fails, wears, or drifts from its set pressure, the boom may creep downward, respond erratically to commands, or lose holding ability altogether — conditions that are unacceptable on any aerial platform and especially critical on a large-platform machine like the Z-135/70. Replacing a worn or leaking valve with the correct OEM unit restores full hydraulic integrity to the boom circuit.
