The Genie 233814GT is a genuine OEM Counterbalance Valve, 4.5:1, 4000PSI designed for the GTH-844 telehandler. Sourced directly from Genie, this valve carries the exact ratio and pressure rating specified for the GTH-844 hydraulic system, ensuring it performs to the same standard as the original component it replaces. Cross-reference part number 233814GT against your GTH-844 parts manual to confirm fitment before ordering.
Key Features
- OEM-Specified Ratio and Pressure Rating — Manufactured to the precise 4.5:1 counterbalance ratio and 4000PSI crack pressure required by the GTH-844 hydraulic circuit, not an approximated aftermarket equivalent.
- Direct Hydraulic Circuit Replacement — This valve is engineered to install directly into the existing port and line configuration of the GTH-844, with no rework to fittings or brackets needed.
- Built for the GTH-844 Telehandler — Confirmed fitment for the Genie GTH-844, a heavy-duty telescopic handler where hydraulic load-holding performance is critical to safe and productive operation.
- Controlled Load Holding Under Pressure — A correctly functioning counterbalance valve prevents uncontrolled boom or load movement under dynamic or static loads; a failed or out-of-spec valve can cause drift, instability, or erratic boom response.
- Operational Safety at Rated Capacity — On a telehandler operating at height and reach with suspended loads, hydraulic valve integrity is a genuine safety-critical function — using the correct OEM-spec component supports safe operation within the machine's rated parameters.
A counterbalance valve is a hydraulic safety and control component that holds a load in position when the actuator — such as a boom cylinder — is not being actively powered. It prevents the boom or attachment from drifting or dropping under the weight of the load by requiring a controlled pilot signal before allowing oil to flow back through the circuit. When this valve wears, sticks, or loses its calibrated cracking pressure, the result can be unintended load movement, spongy boom control, or an inability to hold rated capacity at full extension — all of which compromise both productivity and operator safety on the GTH-844.
