Safety Spring - Force - 90.433 — a direct-fit replacement replacement hardware. Ordering the replacement hardware 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-7241-10 Type: Genuine OEM replacement hardware When a lift gets its annual inspection, the hardware is where a trained eye lingers. Inspectors look for exactly the things this bucket of parts is bought to fix: pins with visible slop, sheaves wobbling on worn bushings, copper-colored bushing material creeping out the side of a sheave, lock springs too tired to snap a pawl home, and chains with tight links or visible stretch. Every one of those is a write-up, and every write-up is a bay out of service until the fix is documented. The economics are lopsided: the hardware costs little, the failed inspection costs the downtime, and the difference between the two outcomes is usually a walk-around you can do yourself in ten minutes. Ordering the right revision Before this goes in the cart, grab two things off your lift: the model number and the serial number, both on the manufacturer's plate. The serial matters more than most people expect — lift makers revise components between production runs without renaming the lift, and the run your serial falls in determines which revision of this part is correct. If you are working from a failed part rather than a plate, measure what you have and photograph how it mounts. Send that to us along with the lift brand, and we will check it against the same parts breakdowns our own techs use in the field before you commit to the order. Do the inspector’s hardware pass: grab each sheave and try to wobble it by hand with the load off — real wobble is a worn pin or bushing. Look for bushing material showing at the sides of sheaves. Cycle the locks and watch that every pawl snaps back smartly; a lazy pawl is a spring. Look for bright rub marks and metal dust anywhere parts move against each other. A lock pawl with a weak or broken return spring can fail to engage while looking perfectly normal from the floor. Anything in the lock train — springs, pins, pawls — gets replaced on condition, immediately, not monitored. The locks are the part of the lift that catches everything else. Why buy your replacement hardware from Auto Lift Services We install, inspect, and repair automotive lifts every week — the ALS-7241-10 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 OEM — 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.
