Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Genie's original specifications, this counterbalance valve delivers the precise pressure rating and port configuration the machine was designed around.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered to match the original mounting configuration and port layout, this valve installs directly into the position vacated by the worn or failed unit.
- Broad Boom Lift Fitment — Fits the S-40 and S-60 J telescopic booms along with TMZ-34/19 and TMZ-50/30 trailer-mounted articulating booms, covering multiple Genie boom lift families.
- Load-Holding Integrity — A correctly functioning counterbalance valve prevents uncontrolled load drift when actuator pressure is absent. A failed or degraded valve can allow a boom or load to drop unexpectedly, making prompt replacement critical.
- Aerial Lift Safety — On boom lifts, counterbalance valves are a key safety component. Using a genuine OEM part ensures the valve responds at the correct pressure setting, maintaining safe, controlled boom movement for operators working at height.
A counterbalance valve holds a hydraulic actuator in position by blocking return flow until a controlled pilot signal is present. On boom lifts, this prevents the boom from drifting or dropping when the operator is not actively commanding movement — a function that is essential for safe work at elevation. When a counterbalance valve wears, leaks internally, or loses its set pressure, the boom may creep or drop under load, creating a hazardous condition. Replacing a failing valve with the correct OEM part restores the precise pressure response the machine's hydraulic circuit was designed to deliver.
