The Rotary FC5812-10 replacement part is the direct replacement for the Rotary lift it came off of. Cross-referenced as ALS-7531-70, it is the genuine Rotary part — same part number, same fit, and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the Rotary 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.

Do the math on a dead lift bay: a bay that bills steadily is producing hundreds of dollars a day, and the part holding it hostage is very often something small. That is the real cost equation on lift parts — not the price on this page, but the days between failure and repair. The shops that feel it worst are the ones that wait until a part strands a vehicle in the air on a Friday. Keeping the known wear items on hand, or ordering them the day symptoms show up, keeps a twenty-dollar part from charging you a week’s rent on the bay it shut down.

Not sure this fits? Here's how to check
Pull the number off your lift's model plate first — model and serial both. Manufacturers run mid-cycle revisions that keep the model name but change hardware, so two lifts with the same name on the column can take different parts. The serial is what removes the guesswork.
Second check: compare the old part against this listing before you order. Length, mounting pattern, and thread sizes tell most of the story. If anything doesn't line up, or if the old part is too worn or broken to measure, call us with photos — we work on these lifts every week and can usually confirm fit from a picture and the lift's serial faster than you can dig through a parts diagram.
While the lift is already apart, replace what is on the same clock. Parts that wear together should be replaced together — the labor of opening the lift up is the expensive half of the job, and doing it twice for two parts that could have shipped in one box is the most common money leak in lift maintenance. Check the mating parts, the hardware, and anything you had to disturb to get here.
Downtime pressure is exactly when shortcuts happen — the temporary fix, the not-quite-right part, the lock that gets bypassed for one job. Do not let a busy schedule talk you into running a lift in a condition you would flag on someone else’s equipment.

About this fc5812 slider guide
Every order for the fc5812 slider guide starts with a fitment confirmation. Two lifts of the same model can carry subtle revisions between production years, and a component that fits a rev-A lift may not fit a rev-B lift built two years later. Before your card is charged we verify the piece against the parts breakdown for your specific lift serial number. That five-minute step is the difference between the part arriving and being installed the same afternoon versus the wrong piece showing up and the shop losing a day of billable work.
Technical specification & installation notes
Cycle life on this piece depends heavily on operating conditions. In a typical commercial repair shop running 6-10 lifts per day, the fc5812 slider guide should deliver five to eight years of service before showing measurable wear against the OEM inspection specification. In a high-volume tire or alignment shop running 20+ lifts per day per bay, expect service every three to five years. It is designed to be a serviceable component; when it does wear it wears within safe operating margins that trigger visible symptoms — drift, uneven wear, minor leakage — well before failure becomes a safety issue.
Shipping & ordering
Freight covers the continental United States on all standard orders. We ship UPS or FedEx ground for parts under 30 lb; heavier assemblies quote at published carrier rates. International orders on the fc5812 slider guide require a freight quote — email dimensions, weight, and destination country to [email protected] and we return a rate within one business day. Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories quote at published rates and typically take five to ten business days depending on carrier and destination.
Warranty coverage
Consumables and wear parts like this are covered under the manufacturer defect warranty for twelve months. Because the fc5812 slider guide 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 fc5812 slider guide 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.
