The Forward S100151 drive-up ramp is the direct replacement for the Forward lift it came off of. This is the genuine Forward part — same fit and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the Forward drive-up ramp 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: S100151
- Brand: Forward
- Type: Genuine OEM drive-up ramp
Column hardware — the anchor bolts, arm-pin retainers, slide blocks, and fasteners — is what keeps the structure standing and the load where it belongs. It's easy to overlook because it's just "bolts," but a loose anchor lets a column shift, a worn arm-pin retainer lets an arm creep, and a stripped fastener has zero holding power in a shock load. On a lift, the small hardware is holding real weight.
Replacing your drive-up ramp
A slide-block replacement gets the carriage riding square in the column again instead of steel-on-steel. Pull the carriage down, swap the worn blocks, and confirm the carriage moves freely without cocking. It's methodical work with a clear sequence, spelled out in full in the step-by-step guide. Not sure on the procedure? Find your lift in our parts lookup or call and we will walk you through it.
Find the right part for your lift
Landed here but not 100% sure it is your part? Grab the model and serial from the data plate and open our Forward parts lookup for the visual breakdown — the manufacturer-style drawing with every item numbered so you can match yours exactly. Plate missing? our guide to finding your model number helps, and we identify lifts from photos every week if you would rather ask.
Signs this part is worn out
Check every arm-pin and adapter hole for wallowing. A round hole gone egg-shaped from load reversal lets the arm or adapter rock under the car, and the play only gets worse. Slip the pin in and feel for slop; sight the hole for an oval. An elongated bore in a carriage or arm is a structural condemn, not something you shim around.
Parts commonly replaced at the same time
Handle the companions while you are at it. The hardware that mounts a worn pad or adapter is often worn too, and the other contact points are on the same clock. One order for the full set keeps the lift even and saves a second trip. Tell us your lift and we will kit it.
Safety notes
The safe grip between lift and vehicle lives in the pads, adapters, and arm hardware — and every one of them wears. A crushed pad or a wallowed-out pin bore is a slip waiting to happen. Change them at the first sign of damage, secure all hardware to spec, and never trust a load to a worn contact point.
Before you order
Ordering tip: contact and locating parts are model-specific and usually come as sets, so count what you need and read the plate before you buy. If the pads are crushed, the pins and hardware around them are often due too — ask and we will tell you what commonly goes together on your lift.
Ordering the right revision
Before this goes in the cart, grab two things off your lift: the model number and the serial number, both on the manufacturer's plate. The serial matters more than most people expect — lift makers revise components between production runs without renaming the lift, and the run your serial falls in determines which revision of this part is correct.
If you are working from a failed part rather than a plate, measure what you have and photograph how it mounts. Send that to us along with the lift brand, and we will check it against the same parts breakdowns our own techs use in the field before you commit to the order.
