Hydraulic Counter Balance Valve 88667GT (Boom Cylinder Load Holding Valve) – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Hydraulic Counter Balance Valve with part number 88667GT (often cross-referenced as 88667) is a crucial, high-specification hydraulic safety component used in the main boom lift/telescope circuits of various Genie S-Series (Telescopic) and ultra-high reach Z/ZX-Series (Articulating) Boom Lifts.1 This valve is a load-holding device typically mounted directly onto a critical lift or telescope cylinder. Its primary function is to lock the cylinder’s position, preventing the boom from moving or collapsing under the extreme weight of the boom/platform or due to a sudden loss of hydraulic pressure (e.g., hose failure).
This counterbalance valve is absolutely essential for the safety, stability, and control of the boom movement, especially on the large, high-reach models like the Z/ZX-135/70. The part number 88667GT is the necessary replacement for addressing dangerous issues such as boom drift, uncontrolled lowering, or jerky, unstable motion in the circuit it controls. A new, correctly specified valve is paramount for operator safety and machine compliance.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ Load-Holding Safety: Essential safety device that prevents cylinder creep, drift, or catastrophic collapse under load.2
✅ Controlled Movement: Ensures smooth, controlled, and predictable movement when lowering or retracting the associated boom section.
✅ High-Reach Z/S-Series Fitment: Essential replacement for critical cylinders on high-reach models like the Z/ZX-135/70, S-60, and S-65.
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for Genie part numbers 88667GT and 88667.3
