Re: Replacing Lift cables
A follow up. The main distributor (and owner of Direct Lift) Rotary says they are short one cable so it will be a week or two until I get my cables replaced. If it drags out too long I may go for three cables for now, unless of course the missing one is my broken one. Oh well, we'll see, And Jerry, I spoke at some length with the technical support guy at Direct Lift and he agreed with you that the more common cable failure is fraying of individual wires around the sheaves, but he has seen the larger twisted wire swage loosening I have a half dozen times or so in the last four years. So it is less common but still happens. Overall the lesson here for lift owners is, inspect your lift cables regularly just in case. --Bob
