Counterbalance Valve 115402GT / 115402 (3800 PSI High-Pressure) – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Counterbalance Valve with Genie part numbers 115402GT and 115402 is a robust, high-pressure, and safety-critical hydraulic component used extensively in the main lift and stabilization circuits of heavy-duty Genie Rough Terrain (RT) Scissor Lifts (GS Series).1 Its primary function is to safely lock the cylinder in position (preventing rapid, uncontrolled descent or “runaway”) and to smoothly control the speed of a load that is being lowered under gravity.2 This specific valve is calibrated with a very high pressure setting of 3800 PSI, indicating it is used in a primary, high-force circuit.
This valve is essential for ensuring that the main lift or leveling cylinders on large RT platforms, which support substantial weight, operate safely and smoothly when lowering under load. The part number 115402GT is the necessary replacement for addressing dangerous issues such as uncontrolled platform descent, cylinder drift, or jerky, erratic lowering movements in high-pressure circuits.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ High-Pressure Load Holding: Designed for high-force applications, locking the cylinder against high load pressures.
✅ 3800 PSI Setting: Precisely calibrated for main lift circuits on large RT Scissor Lifts, ensuring maximum safety margin.
✅ Smooth Motion Control: Controls the speed of heavy lowering loads, preventing rapid, uncontrolled movement.
✅ RT Scissor Lift Critical: Essential safety component for models like the GS-3384 and GS-4390.
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for Genie part numbers 115402GT and 115402.3
