Key Features
- Rated to 1500 PSI — engineered to the exact pressure specification Genie requires for correct valve operation on Z-series articulating boom lifts.
- Genuine OEM Part — manufactured to Genie's original design standards, ensuring dimensional conformity and correct material grade for this valve type.
- Direct Replacement Fit — installs in place of the original without modification, restoring the valve circuit to its designed operating condition.
- Broad Z-Series Compatibility — fits the Z-60/34, Z-30/20 N, Z-34/22 IC, Z-34/22 Bi-Energy, Z-45/22 MP, and Z-45/22 articulating boom lifts.
- Operational Safety — a correctly functioning counterbalance valve is critical to controlled boom movement and load holding; a failed valve can cause uncontrolled motion, making prompt replacement with the correct OEM part essential.
A counterbalance valve is a hydraulic control component that prevents a load from moving unless the machine intentionally commands it. On an articulating boom lift, it holds the boom in position when the hydraulic pump is not actively pressurizing the circuit, stopping the boom from drifting or dropping under its own weight or the weight of workers in the platform. When a counterbalance valve wears out or fails, the boom may drift from its set position or respond unpredictably to control inputs, creating a serious safety risk. Replacing a faulty valve with the correct OEM part restores the designed holding and release behavior the machine depends on for safe, controlled operation at height.
