The Genie 54065GT is a genuine OEM Counterbalance Valve, 3500 built for Genie S series telescopic boom lifts, SX series super-boom lifts, and Z series articulating boom lifts. As a factory-sourced part, it meets the same design and dimensional standards as the original component it replaces. This valve fits a broad range of Genie boom models including the SX-150, SX-180, SX-135 XC, S-60 XC, S-65 XC, S-80 XC, S-85 XC, Z-45/25, Z-45/25J Bi-Energy, Z-80/60, and others — verify part number 54065GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm fitment before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Precision — Built to Genie's original specifications, this counterbalance valve delivers the rated 3500 pressure setting required for proper operation across compatible boom models.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Designed to install in the same port and configuration as the original, this valve connects without adaptation or rework.
- Broad Boom Compatibility — Fits Genie SX super-boom telescopic lifts, S series telescopic boom lifts, and Z series articulating boom lifts, covering a wide range of Genie boom equipment.
- Load-Holding Integrity — A correctly functioning counterbalance valve holds the load securely in position when the circuit is not actively powered, preventing uncontrolled movement of the boom.
A counterbalance valve is a load-holding device fitted in a fluid circuit to prevent uncontrolled movement of a boom or other actuator when the system is idle or when load-induced forces act against the direction of travel. It holds the load in place by requiring a controlled pilot signal before allowing fluid to flow, ensuring the boom moves only when commanded. When this valve fails or its pressure setting drifts from specification, the result can be slow boom drift, jerky movement, or an inability to hold a raised platform securely — any of which poses a serious operational concern on an aerial lift. Replacing the valve with the correct genuine OEM part restores proper load-holding performance to the circuit it serves.
