The Rotary FF231 replacement part is the direct replacement for the Rotary lift it came off of. Cross-referenced as ALS-9790-11, 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.
Specifications
- Part number: ALS-9790-11
- Brand: Rotary
- Type: Genuine OEM replacement part
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.

Confirm this is the right part before you order
Lift manufacturers revise parts mid-production without changing the model name, so the same lift bought two years apart can take two different revisions of the same component. Before you order, find the model plate on the lift — on most 2-post lifts it rides on one of the columns at eye level, on 4-post lifts it is usually on a column or the power-unit side runway — and note the full model number and serial. The serial dates the lift to a production run, and that is what decides which revision fits.
If the plate is painted over or missing, take a photo of the part you are replacing next to a tape measure and send it to us. Between the dimensions, the mounting pattern, and what lift it came off of, we can almost always identify the exact part before you spend money on the wrong one.
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 ff231 front saddle
The ff231 front saddle is a direct-fit replacement engineered to restore original manufacturer performance on the lift model it services. Every piece we ship carries the exact dimensional and material specifications the OEM published for that application. Fitment on this component is critical: it interfaces with adjacent hardware in ways that any deviation from spec can drive premature wear on nearby parts or trigger the lift's mechanical safety systems into an unexpected condition. Shops that source this from us instead of a generic aftermarket substitute consistently report zero fitment issues on first-time installation.
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 ff231 front saddle 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 ff231 front saddle 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 ff231 front saddle 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 ff231 front saddle 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.
