The Forward 250432 replacement hardware is the direct replacement for the Forward lift it came off of. Cross-referenced as ALS-7237-79, 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 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-7237-79 Brand: Forward Type: Genuine OEM replacement hardware Hardware is where lift failures are born. A pin that has worn oval lets its sheave run crooked; the crooked sheave saws at the cable; and a five-dollar pin has now written a quote for cables and sheaves. Springs lose tension and a lock pawl stops returning. A bushing thins out and the clunk everyone ignores becomes the slop that rounds off the bore it sits in. None of these parts fail dramatically — they just get a little loose, a little rounder, a little weaker, and pass the damage up to whatever they located or supported. Replacing hardware at the first sign of wear is how the expensive parts on a lift get to live out their full lives.

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. When hardware comes out, read it. An ovaled pin means its bore is probably ovaled too — check the hole, not just the pin. A stretched spring means something was binding for it to fight. Bright metal dust around a bushing or bearing means it has been grinding, so inspect what it rides in. New hardware in a worn bore is a short-term repair with a long-term invoice. Never reuse a bent pin, a stretched spring, or a mushroomed piece of hardware because it still technically fits — and never substitute generic hardware-store fasteners for load-bearing lift hardware. Grade and dimensions exist for a reason on a machine that holds vehicles in the air.
