The Genie 1298807GT is a genuine OEM Counterbalance Valve, CBEA-LHN@3500 designed for the GTH-636 telehandler. Sourced directly from Genie, this part matches the original hydraulic specification of your machine, ensuring it slots into the existing circuit without adaptation. Genuine OEM designation means this valve carries the same design tolerances and pressure rating as the component installed at the factory, giving you confidence that critical hydraulic function is fully restored. Cross-reference part number 1298807GT against your GTH-636 parts manual to confirm application before ordering.
Key Features
- OEM-Rated Pressure Calibration — Genuine OEM construction ensures the valve opens and holds at the correct system pressure for the GTH-636 hydraulic circuit, preventing under- or over-pressure conditions.
- Direct Hydraulic Port Match — The CBEA-LHN@3500 configuration matches the original port arrangement and thread spec, allowing a straightforward swap into the existing hydraulic line.
- Confirmed GTH-636 Fitment — Engineered specifically for the Genie GTH-636 telehandler; verify against part number 1298807GT in your parts manual before installation.
- Stable Load Holding Under Dynamic Conditions — A properly functioning counterbalance valve keeps the boom and load under controlled hydraulic pressure during movement and work cycles, preventing uncontrolled drift or drop.
- Critical Safety Function — Counterbalance valves are a primary safeguard against hydraulic circuit failure causing uncontrolled load movement; using a correctly rated OEM replacement supports the full safety integrity of the telehandler's lifting system.
A counterbalance valve is a hydraulic control component that maintains a set back-pressure in the circuit, preventing a suspended load or extended boom from drifting downward when the hydraulic pump is idle or when a line loses pressure unexpectedly. On a telehandler like the GTH-636, it works in the boom and tilt circuits to hold the load steady and release movement only when commanded by the operator. When this valve wears, sticks, or fails to hold its rated pressure, the result can be gradual boom drift, jerky load handling, or — in severe cases — an inability to hold a load at height, making prompt replacement essential to safe and productive operation.
