Counterbalance Valve 62506GT / 62506 – Optimized Product Page Content
🔹 Product Overview
The Counterbalance Valve with Genie part numbers 62506GT and 62506 is a crucial, safety-rated hydraulic component used extensively on the major lift and extension cylinders of various Genie Boom Lifts (S and Z Series).1 Its primary function is two-fold and essential for safety: 1) it acts as a load-holding valve to lock the hydraulic cylinder in place, preventing drift or collapse; and 2) it acts as a brake to smoothly control the speed of the lowering or retracting load driven by gravity (an overhauling load). It ensures the boom or platform descends only at a safe, controlled rate.
This component is indispensable for the safe and predictable operation of the machine’s primary movements. The part number 62506GT is the necessary replacement for addressing dangerous issues such as uncontrolled boom descent, cylinder drift (creep), or jerky, unstable lowering movements under load.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ Load Holding Safety: Locks the hydraulic cylinder in position, eliminating drift and unintended movement.2
✅ Smooth Motion Control: Provides precise, controlled speed when lowering or retracting loads driven by gravity.
✅ Broad Boom Fitment: Essential safety component for popular Genie Articulating (Z) and Telescopic (S) boom lifts.3
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for Genie part numbers 62506GT and 62506.4
