The cable broke on our outdoor pressure washing lift, two months after a complete inspection of all of our lifts! One never knows, accidents happen. Car fortunately has minimal damage. Will post pictures of the lifting and repair later

A roller in my lift failed a few months ago and we nearly had a car fall as the lift was being lowered. The broken roller allowed one side of the lift to hang up on the safety lock strip inside the upright so only one side continued to come down.
Fortunately Ed noticed that he was starting to see the top of the car a little too soon and stopped. That took a while to figure out how we could safely lower the car the rest of the way. It also took me a while to figure out a 2 hour repair method which didn't require disassembly - which would have kept the lift out of service for more than 24 hours. |
