It has one.I have a lift which looks exactly like the one in the photos, but it's not holding it's position. Jack it up and it immediately starts to descend again. Has anyone replaced the hydraulic seals on such a lift, or should I be looking at making up a prop stand to hold the damn thing up?
Last week it was working fine, today it has a serious case of Brewers Droop....
It has a safety rod that goes into the front lift arm in one of two positions. I raise the lift high enough to insert the rod, then lower the lift against the rod.I have a lift which looks exactly like the one in the photos, but it's not holding it's position.

Good catch. Worse yet, drop on your instep with a hard edge.Looks like my lift that, is the ramp hinged or is it just hanging on the pins? if it is on the pins they will bend.
It could be a few things .... Is the valve fully closed when trying to raise the table . Is it showing signs of seals leaking , if not , the first thing to try is checking the level of hydraulic fluid . Low fluid may have caused air to be trapped ... Check level and try to bleed . The safety rod is just that ...... Never rely on a safety device to be your first line of defense .I have a lift which looks exactly like the one in the photos, but it's not holding it's position.

Guess who has bent pinsGood catch. Worse yet, drop on your instep with a hard edge.
Better than broken chicken bones in your foot.Guess who has bent pins
I fitted similar to my ramp, it came from ‘bump stop’ in the U.K. it makes loading a breeze, push it on, the wheel chock locks, and you can let go. No faffing trying to get it on its stand or asking the missus to wind in the wheel clamp etc.This finishes the deal. I've had my 880 lb. cruiser up there, no worries.
As for front to back, once the lift is topped out, your well centered over the base.

If nobody replies I'll snap a picture when I go back out this afternoon. It is quite substantial. It goes through one of two holes (depending on the height you want to work at) in both of the front lift arms and extends all the way across engaging both frame members at the base. No way can it fail.Anyone have a picture of the safety bar?
My thanks..
