Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Genie's original specification, with correct valve geometry and pressure settings for the CBCA-LIN-800 designation.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Replaces the original counterbalance valve on the S-45 XC with no adaptation required, preserving the integrity of the valve circuit.
- Confirmed S-45 XC Fitment — Sourced and validated specifically for the Genie S-45 XC telescopic boom lift, giving you confidence in compatibility at the point of installation.
- Load-Holding Integrity — A correctly functioning counterbalance valve holds suspended loads securely and controls motion under load, which is critical to safe boom operation. A failed valve can cause uncontrolled movement or drift.
A counterbalance valve is a load-holding and motion-control device installed in a fluid circuit to prevent uncontrolled movement when a load is suspended or when the machine is in a raised position. It works by requiring a controlled pilot signal to open, which means the boom or cylinder it serves cannot drift or drop under load unless the operator actively commands movement. When a counterbalance valve wears out or fails, the result can be slow drift, jerky movement, or loss of load-holding ability — all of which compromise the safe operation of the boom. Replacing a faulty valve with the correct OEM part restores the engineered control behavior the machine was designed to deliver.
