The Genie 31262GT is a genuine OEM Counterbalance Valve built for Genie S-60, S-65, and Z-45/22 boom lifts. As a factory-original component, it meets the exact specifications required for proper operation on these machines. Cross-reference part number 31262GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct valve for your serial number range before ordering. When a counterbalance valve wears out or fails, replacing it with the correct OEM part restores proper load-holding performance and keeps the boom operating safely and predictably.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Quality — Manufactured to Genie's exact specifications, ensuring correct pressure ratings and valve geometry for dependable operation.
- Direct OEM Replacement — This valve installs directly in place of the original, with no adaptation or rework needed to match the original port configuration.
- Confirmed Fitment — Designed for Genie S-60, S-65, and Z-45/22 boom lifts; always verify against your parts manual using part number 31262GT.
- Load-Holding Integrity — A correctly functioning counterbalance valve holds the boom steady under load and controls descent, preventing uncontrolled movement when a fluid line loses pressure.
- Critical Safety Component — On aerial boom lifts, a failed or leaking counterbalance valve can allow unintended boom drift, making timely replacement with the correct OEM part a genuine operational safety concern.
A counterbalance valve is a pressure-control valve that holds a load in position and manages controlled, metered movement of a cylinder under load. On boom lifts, it prevents the boom from drifting or dropping unexpectedly if pressure in the circuit is lost — acting as a safety hold-back device as well as a flow-control component. When this valve sticks, leaks internally, or loses its set pressure, the boom may drift out of position or descend without command, both of which are serious operational hazards that require immediate attention and replacement with the correct part.
