Forward I10/F10 (400/500 Series) — 2 ft Extended-Height Conversion Kit
The Forward I10/F10 replacement part is the direct replacement for the Forward lift it came off of. Cross-referenced as FOR DP10A-EH2, it is the genuine Forward part — same part nu mber, same fit, and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the Forward replacement part 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: FOR DP10A-EH2 Brand: Forward Type: Genuine OEM replacement part Lift manufacturers revise their machines mid-production without changing the model name, which means two lifts that look identical across the shop can take different parts. The part number on this page fits a specific design — and the way to be sure it fits yours is the model and serial number on your lift’s data tag, not the model name alone and not memory. Serial-range splits are the most common reason a correctly named part comes back: right lift, wrong revision. Thirty seconds with the data tag before you order beats a week of freight in both directions. Confirm this is the right part before you order Lift manufacturers revise parts mid-production without changing the model name, so the same lift bought two years apart can take two different revisions of the same component. Before you order, find the model plate on the lift — on most 2-post lifts it rides on one of the columns at eye level, on 4-post lifts it is usually on a column or the power-unit side runway — and note the full model number and serial. The serial dates the lift to a production run, and that is what decides which revision fits. If the plate is painted over or missing, take a photo of the part you are replacing next to a tape measure and send it to us. Between the dimensions, the mounting pattern, and what lift it came off of, we can almost always identify the exact part before you spend money on the wrong one. Find the data tag — usually on a column or the power unit — and read the model and serial before ordering. If the tag is painted over, gone, or unreadable, look for numbers stamped into the old part itself, or send us a photo of the part and its mounting; we identify lift parts from photos every week. While you are at the tag, note it somewhere permanent, because you will need it again. If the replacement does not match the old part when you unbox it, stop and call before installing it. Forcing a near-fit part onto a lift is how a parts order turns into a structural problem — the fit difference usually exists for a reason. Why buy your Forward replacement part from Auto Lift Services We install, inspect, and repair Forward lifts every week — the FOR DP10A-EH2 is a part we handle in the shop, not a random SKU we drop-ship. The phone answers if you have a question mid-install — call 800-674-9302. We confirm the right part for your lift's serial and production year before you order. Every part ships as genuine Forward — no aftermarket substitution unless you specifically ask for an aftermarket equivalent. If you also need companion wear items — cables, sheaves, seals, hardware — for the same repair, use our parts lookup and we will build the whole kit for your lift so you order once and finish the job. About this forward dp10a extended height Every order for the forward dp10a extended height starts with a fitment confirmation. Two lifts of the same model can carry subtle revisions between production years, and a component that fits a rev-A lift may not fit a rev-B lift built two years later. Before your card is charged we verify the piece against the parts breakdown for your specific lift serial number. That five-minute step is the difference between the part arriving and being installed the same afternoon versus the wrong piece showing up and the shop losing a day of billable work. Technical specification & installation notes Cycle life on this piece depends heavily on operating conditions. In a typical commercial repair shop running 6-10 lifts per day, the forward dp10a extended height should deliver five to eight years of service before showing measurable wear against the OEM inspection specification. In a high-volume tire or alignment shop running 20+ lifts per day per bay, expect service every three to five years. It is designed to be a serviceable component; when it does wear it wears within safe operating margins that trigger visible symptoms — drift, uneven wear, minor leakage — well before failure becomes a safety issue. Shipping & ordering Freight covers the continental United States on all standard orders. We ship UPS or FedEx ground for parts under 30 lb; heavier assemblies quote at published carrier rates. International orders on the forward dp10a extended height require a freight quote — email dimensions, weight, and destination country to [email protected] and we return a rate within one business day. Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories quote at published rates and typically take five to ten business days depending on carrier and destination. Warranty coverage Consumables and wear parts like this are covered under the manufacturer defect warranty for twelve months. Because the forward dp10a extended height is a component that eventually needs replacement in normal operation, warranty coverage specifically addresses failure due to manufacturing defect, not failure due to normal end-of-life wear. Our team can help distinguish between the two on a phone call if there is any question after installation — call 800-674-9302 and describe the failure pattern; we will tell you honestly whether it looks like a warranty case. Cross-reference & fitment Fitment on the forward dp10a extended height is verified against the lift serial number when the order comes in. Even inside one manufacturer's catalog, a lift model built in one production year can carry subtle revisions from the same model built two or three years later. Sending us the lift serial number when you place the order — either in the order notes or in a follow-up email — lets us verify the piece against that specific serial's parts list. That five-minute step catches revision mismatches before shipping and prevents the delay of an incorrect delivery. Questions about the forward dp10a extended height?
