DUAL COUNTERBALANCE MANIFOLD 30823 / 30823GT (Dual CB Valve Block) – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Dual Counterbalance Manifold with part numbers 30823 and 30823GT is a specialized, safety-critical hydraulic valve block designed to protect and precisely control hydraulic cylinders subject to external loads. This manifold features two integrated counterbalance valves (Dual CB), making it essential for functions that utilize tandem cylinders or those requiring bi-directional load-holding (e.g., lift/lower, telescope extend/retract). The counterbalance valve is paramount for safety, preventing the cylinder rod from moving freely or collapsing suddenly if a hose ruptures or if the hydraulic pressure is lost.
This component is crucial for the safety and smooth operation of the main boom functions on various Genie Boom Lifts. The part number 30823GT is the necessary replacement for addressing dangerous issues such as boom drift, uncontrolled lowering, or jerky movement during operation. Replacing this dual counterbalance manifold ensures reliable, load-holding capability and controlled movement, meeting stringent safety standards.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ Dual Counterbalance Safety: Features two integrated CB valves for bi-directional hydraulic load-holding control.
✅ Load Holding Integrity: Prevents cylinder drift and runaway motion under load, even in the event of hose failure.
✅ Critical Function Control: Essential for managing main lift, telescope, or swing functions on Genie Boom Lifts.
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for Genie part numbers 30823GT and 30823.
