What salt water does to a lift

A lift that went under can run today and fail later. Salt in a gearbox works slowly, and corroded cables often look fine from outside and part under load.

A full service covers cables, sheaves, bunks and gearbox oil. On frontage that flooded in 2024 it is worth doing even when the lift seems normal.

Why it matters

Replacing a lift versus repairing it

A replacement lift has to meet the city lift setback: 10 feet from the side property line, or 5 feet on lots with under 20 feet of frontage (LDR Sec. 16.50.130).

If the old lift sat closer than that, the new one may have to move. Find out before ordering it.
