Key Features
- Genuine OEM Quality — Manufactured to the original Genie specification, delivering the dimensional conformity and material grade required for a counterbalance valve application.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Engineered to install in place of the original component with no additional modification, restoring the valve position and porting to factory configuration.
- Confirmed Fitment — Fits Genie S-40 and S-45 telescopic boom lifts; cross-reference 43169GT against your parts manual to verify correct application for your unit.
- Load-Holding Integrity — A properly functioning counterbalance valve holds a suspended load securely and controls descent, preventing uncontrolled movement if a fluid line fails or pressure drops unexpectedly.
- Operational Safety — Counterbalance valves are a critical safety component on boom lifts; replacing a worn or leaking valve with a genuine OEM part supports safe, controlled boom operation at height.
A counterbalance valve is a load-holding and motion-control component fitted into the fluid circuit that operates a boom cylinder. Its job is to keep the boom locked in position under load and to allow controlled, metered movement only when the operator commands it — preventing the boom from drifting or dropping if pressure in the circuit is lost. When a counterbalance valve wears, leaks internally, or sticks, the result can be slow or uncontrolled boom movement, load drift, or an inability to hold position — all of which compromise both productivity and operator safety. Replacing a failed valve with the correct OEM part restores predictable, controlled boom function on S-40 and S-45 telescopic boom lifts.
