The Rotary FD79 replacement part is the direct replacement for the Rotary lift it came off of. Cross-referenced as ALS-9765-59, 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.

Lift manufacturers revise their machines mid-production without changing the model name, which means two lifts that look identical across the shop can take different parts. The part number on this page fits a specific design — and the way to be sure it fits yours is the model and serial number on your lift’s data tag, not the model name alone and not memory. Serial-range splits are the most common reason a correctly named part comes back: right lift, wrong revision. Thirty seconds with the data tag before you order beats a week of freight in both directions.

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.
Find the data tag — usually on a column or the power unit — and read the model and serial before ordering. If the tag is painted over, gone, or unreadable, look for numbers stamped into the old part itself, or send us a photo of the part and its mounting; we identify lift parts from photos every week. While you are at the tag, note it somewhere permanent, because you will need it again.
If the replacement does not match the old part when you unbox it, stop and call before installing it. Forcing a near-fit part onto a lift is how a parts order turns into a structural problem — the fit difference usually exists for a reason.

About this fd79 axle rotary
Every order for the fd79 axle rotary 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 fd79 axle rotary 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
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 fd79 axle rotary 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
Every fd79 axle rotary sold through Automotive Lift Services carries a one-year manufacturer-defect warranty. If it fails within that window due to a defect in material or workmanship, we replace it at no charge. Damage from improper installation, use outside the lift's rated capacity, side-loading, or modifications to the parent lift are not covered. The warranty is documented on your original order receipt — retain that record for the coverage period. To submit a warranty claim, contact us with the order number and a photo of the failure at [email protected].
Cross-reference & fitment
Cross-reference on the fd79 axle rotary is straightforward: match the OEM part number from the lift's parts breakdown against the number on your original invoice. If the numbers match, the component fits. If your lift's parts breakdown lists a superseded or alternate number, we accept the superseded value on the phone as confirmation of fit. When a manufacturer has issued a running change during production, we track the change in our catalog so ordering by the older number automatically pulls the current-spec replacement.
