What rotary car lift parts do
Equalizer cables equalize the load between both lift arms, so a stretched or frayed cable shows up as a lift that rises uneven. The lock latch release cable pulls the latches clear so the carriages can move, and the latch spring kit is listed to keep the lifting arm locked when lifting the vehicle, so the arm does not slide loose.
Replacement starts with the old part: read the part number off the cable tag or the latch, then check the lift model and the column height against the listing. A cable that fits a standard height lift may not fit an extended height lift.
Rotary car lift parts for a Rotary 2-post lift
The parts below handle the jobs this guide covers: keeping both carriages level, releasing the lock latches, and locking the lifting arm.
Check the lift's rated capacity against your heaviest vehicle, and its ceiling and concrete requirements (thickness and strength) before you buy. Install it exactly as the manufacturer specifies, use the mechanical locks before you go under, and look for ALI certification on the model. See the Automotive Lift Institute (ALI). Read our Safety Disclaimer.
Lift safety before the first job
Never get under a vehicle that is held up by a jack alone. Use rated stands on solid, level ground, set them at the lift points in the vehicle owner manual, and follow the lift maker concrete and ceiling requirements. Check the latches after fitting a new cable or spring, and lower the lift onto its locks before working under a vehicle.
How to match a part to a Rotary lift
Start with the part number. The equalizer cables in this guide replace N372 and BH7529-86, the release cable replaces FJ7595-1, and the spring kit replaces FJ782-34, FJ7566-10, FJ7382-9, 41388 and 4141. Match every number on the old part to the listing, not just the lift model.
Then check the length and the height. One equalizer cable listing states 30 feet for a standard height lift of 11 ft 8 in, while the other states 30 ft 4 in for standard height columns. The release cable listing states 29 ft and a fit for standard and 2 ft extended height lifts. Measure the old cable and read the column height before ordering.
FAQ: garage tools
How do I know which equalizer cable fits a Rotary SPO10 lift?
Match the part number first: both equalizer cable listings replace N372 and BH7529-86 for a Rotary SPO10 lift with standard height columns. Then check the length: one listing states 30 feet, the other states 30 ft 4 in.
Should both equalizer cables be replaced at the same time?
The Outopakkle listing recommends changing both cables as a pair, since the lift uses two cables. Follow the lift manual and the listing when deciding.
What does a lock latch release cable do on a Rotary 2-post lift?
The listing states that the FJ7595-1 cable releases the lock latches, with a clamp included in the kit, so the carriages can move. It fits standard and 2 ft extended height lifts, and the listing gives a length of 29 ft.
What is in a lock latch safety spring kit?
Each set in the Atesilor kit holds 1 latch shaft, 1 latch spring, 2 truarc pieces, 1 spring and 1 bushing, and the pack holds 2 sets.
