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

Thankfully no one was injured!
Lift accidents happen more than you would think. OSHA regs cover Inspections and Training- Lifts must be inspected annually by a certified tech. Operators need to have yearly training Owners should keep a log. Depending on what state you reside, lifts may be covered under state building codes. The UK has taken the safe course in regards to 2 post lifts- "It was agreed with representatives of the MVR industry, through the MVR Forum, that arm locking systems should be fitted to all these lifts. Therefore, any remaining 2-post lifts without arm locking should now have been taken out of use or scrapped." Sensible action. And they have identified certain Chinese Models- "Problems with the design, installation, use and maintenance of arm locking mechanisms continue to cause concern in newer machinery. Some new Chinese-manufactured 2-post lifts have been found where the locking mechanism has been poorly manufactured and failed to work from installation or within a short period of use. Further details are available in Sector Information Minute 03/2008/12" "Defective locking devices identified on modern 2-post lifts". An employee injury could mean OSHA reports, inspectors, fines, lawsuits, and pain and suffering. Logbooks going back yrs. Warning and safety decals in place...etc...
