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

I understand Chris's lift failure, but the AA one is strange if everything was actually functioning. I'm confused as to why the safety catches didn't engage. Being between engagement points should just mean it drops a little, not all of the way down. Seems like the dog that engages was rusted up and not springing too well...
Glad no one got hurt-that'd make for a really bad Friday. |

Undetected corrosion is apparently the cause of this. Corrosion so bad, the cable or cable related component failed with a 2000 lb-ish car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
