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

The answer is "no" unless you ask... Group: Members Posts: 1,184 Joined: 21-November 15 From: White Plains New York Member No.: 19,387 Region Association: North East States |
I didn't read every response but every pretty much every lift, including the lift in the 1st picture has a safety device (this one wasn't working) which will not allow the arms on either side to fall as seen in the picture. I think most modern lifts if not all are safe as long as you use them as intended and the lift operator is aware of the operation of the safety.
What you see in the picture should have never happened. That was avoidable. That'll scare the s#&t out of you! Glad no one was hurt. Great example to learn from someone else's mistake! |
