The Genie 1268928GT is a genuine OEM Extend Counterbalance Valve designed for the GTH-1056 telehandler. Sourced directly from Genie, this valve matches the original component specification, ensuring it integrates correctly with the GTH-1056's hydraulic system without modification. A failed or degraded counterbalance valve can result in uncontrolled boom movement, making prompt replacement with the correct part essential for safe operation. Cross-reference part number 1268928GT against your GTH-1056 parts manual to confirm fitment before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hydraulic Spec — Manufactured to the exact pressure ratings and flow characteristics required by the GTH-1056 hydraulic circuit, ensuring consistent, controlled boom extension performance.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original valve's port configuration and mounting interface, allowing straightforward installation on the GTH-1056 without adapters or rework.
- Single-Model Verified Fitment — Engineered specifically for the GTH-1056 telehandler, eliminating guesswork when selecting the correct counterbalance valve for this machine.
- Controlled Load Holding — Maintains hydraulic pressure in the extend circuit when the control is released, preventing boom drift under load and preserving smooth, repeatable extension cycles.
- Operational Safety — A correctly functioning counterbalance valve is a critical hydraulic safety component on aerial-capable telehandlers. Using a genuine OEM replacement protects against unintended boom movement under load.
A counterbalance valve is a hydraulic control component that holds a load in position by maintaining back-pressure in the circuit when the actuator is not being actively commanded. On the GTH-1056 telehandler, the extend counterbalance valve governs the boom extension cylinder, preventing the boom from drifting or surging forward under the weight of an elevated load. When this valve wears, sticks, or fails, operators may experience uncontrolled extension, boom creep, or jerky movement — all conditions that compromise both load control and operator safety. Replacing a faulty valve with the correct OEM part restores predictable, stable boom behavior and keeps the machine working as designed.
