The Forward 1070913 lifting cable is the direct replacement for the Forward lift it came off of. Cross-referenced as ALS-7239-52, it is the genuine Forward part — same part number, same fit, and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the Forward lifting cable from us gets you the OEM piece that matches the lift, not an aftermarket knock-off that is close but not the same. Specifications Part number: ALS-7239-52 Brand: Forward Type: Genuine OEM lifting cable Rust is the quiet killer of lift cable. A shop in a salt-belt climate, or a lift that sat in a damp corner for a few years, loses cable to corrosion long before it ever wears out mechanically. Surface rust you can live with; rust that has eaten into the strands or frozen a sheave bushing you cannot. Once the steel is pitting under the outer wires, the rated strength is already gone. The lock-release cable is the thin cable that pulls all the safety pawls out of the ladders at once so the lift can descend evenly. When it stretches, frays, or a return spring weakens, one lock hangs while the others let go and the lift comes down cocked. It's a small, cheap part doing a safety-critical job, and a lift that won't release evenly is a lift that isn't safe to run.

Route it, set the tension, and cycle the lift watching that all the locks release together. The exact routing and adjustment vary by lift, so walk through the full procedure before you rely on it. Full step-by-step: how to replace 2-post lift cables. Find the right part for your lift Landed here but not 100% sure it is your part? Grab the model and serial from the data plate and open our Forward parts lookup for the visual breakdown — the manufacturer-style drawing with every item numbered so you can match yours exactly. Plate missing? our guide to finding your model number helps, and we identify lifts from photos every week if you would rather ask. Signs a cable or sheave is worn out The tell on a cable is usually visual and tactile at once: fraying and popped wires you can see, broken strands you feel as burrs when you wipe it down. Check where the cable turns each sheave, because that's where it works hardest. A groove worn to a sharp V instead of a smooth radius, or a sheave that won't spin freely, means the pulley is chewing the cable — replace both. Parts commonly replaced at the same time The parts around this one tend to wear on the same clock — companion cables, the sheaves they run over, and the hardware that retains them. Bundling them into one order and one repair saves a second teardown. We keep the cross-references for your lift, so one call gets the whole set right. Safety notes Cables stretch and sheaves wear on a schedule; failures happen when someone stretches that schedule. Change tension parts as a set, confirm each cable is seated in every sheave before you tension it, and keep the safety locks in the loop the entire time you work — they are what stands between the load and the floor if something slips. Before you order Order the whole wear set, not just the one that failed — cables and sheaves age together, and doing them in one visit is cheaper than two. Have your model and serial ready so we can pull the right lengths and fittings for your lift, and ask if you want the companion parts added. Check your lift's serial before ordering The most common reason a lift part comes back is not a defect — it is a revision mismatch. Manufacturers change sub-parts between production runs while keeping the same lift model name, so "it fits my lift model" is not always enough. The model plate carries the serial number that pins your lift to a specific run, and that is the number that settles which version of this part belongs on your lift. Can't find the plate? Measure the old part — overall length, bolt-hole spacing, thread size on anything threaded — and photograph it from a couple of angles. Send that with your lift's brand and rough age and we will match it against the parts breakdowns we service from every week.
