13-3/4" Ribbed U-Cup Packing Kit - Joyce — a direct-fit replacement replacement part. Ordering the replacement part 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-1710RU
- Type: Genuine OEM replacement part
Most lift failures do not start with the big components. They start with a part like this one — something small that wore quietly until the load found the weak point. A worn pin lets a sheave wobble, the wobble chews the cable, and now a cheap part has turned into a cable job. A sticking valve, a thinned bushing, a fatigued spring: each one is a few dollars of steel guarding components that cost hundreds. Replacing wear parts on schedule — instead of when they announce themselves — is the cheapest maintenance a lift ever gets, and it is the difference between shops that fix lifts and shops that keep replacing the expensive parts downstream of the cheap one.
Related parts for this lift
The parts below are commonly ordered alongside this one — cables, sheaves, seals, and hardware wear on similar schedules, and most repairs go faster when the whole set is done in one visit.
Check your lift's serial before ordering
The most common reason a lift part comes back is not a defect — it is a revision mismatch. 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 one wear part is finished, look hard at what it touched. Metal shavings are the tell — where there are shavings, something has been grinding. Check the mating surfaces this part rode against for scoring, ovaled holes, and rounded edges, because a new part installed against a chewed-up mate wears out on an accelerated schedule and takes the blame for it.
Do not put a known-worn part back in because it looks serviceable enough — on a lift, “probably fine” is carrying somebody’s vehicle over somebody’s head. If it was worn enough to remove, it is worn enough to replace.
Why buy your replacement part from Auto Lift Services
We install, inspect, and repair automotive lifts every week — the ALS-1710RU is a part we handle in the shop, not a random SKU we drop-ship.

- 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.
About this 13 34 ribbed cup
Sourcing the correct 13 34 ribbed cup is not the spot a shop wants to gamble. This piece sits inside a load path the lift manufacturer engineered to specific tolerances, and a substitute that looks close but is off by even a small margin can transfer load onto a neighboring component that was not designed for it. We stock this exact part to the OEM specification the original manufacturer publishes, which is why techs who have been through a bad aftermarket cycle keep coming back to us for the same replacement whenever their next need comes up.
Technical specification & installation notes
Technical specification matches the OEM published dimensions to within manufacturing tolerance. When a shop installs the 13 34 ribbed cup correctly, the lift returns to factory-rated performance immediately — no break-in period, no cycle-count adjustment required. The lift's safety systems (mechanical locks, hydraulic pressure relief, and electrical interlocks) treat a correctly-installed replacement exactly as they would treat a factory-original component during initial commissioning. That parity is what lets us honor warranty coverage without asking for the lift's full operating history.
Shipping & ordering
Placing an order online is the fastest path — add to cart, check out, done. If the shop needs a purchase order, net-30 terms, or a formal quote for a fleet-service contract, our accounts team handles those via email at [email protected] or by phone at 800-674-9302. Volume pricing on the 13 34 ribbed cup kicks in at 10+ pieces on the same order for common wear items. Ask about the volume rate specifically before you check out — many fleet buyers stock 6-12 pieces at a time and the discount is meaningful over that shelf life.
Warranty coverage
Consumables and wear parts like this are covered under the manufacturer defect warranty for twelve months. Because the 13 34 ribbed cup is a component that eventually needs replacement in normal operation, warranty coverage specifically addresses failure due to manufacturing defect, not failure due to normal end-of-life wear. Our team can help distinguish between the two on a phone call if there is any question after installation — call 800-674-9302 and describe the failure pattern; we will tell you honestly whether it looks like a warranty case.
Cross-reference & fitment
Fitment on the 13 34 ribbed cup is verified against the lift serial number when the order comes in. Even inside one manufacturer's catalog, a lift model built in one production year can carry subtle revisions from the same model built two or three years later. Sending us the lift serial number when you place the order — either in the order notes or in a follow-up email — lets us verify the piece against that specific serial's parts list. That five-minute step catches revision mismatches before shipping and prevents the delay of an incorrect delivery.
