The Quality Lift ALS-7233-102 is the direct-replacement sheave for the Quality Lift lift it came off of — the genuine part, same fit and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the Quality Lift sheave 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-7233-102
- Brand: Quality Lift
- Type: Genuine OEM sheave
Cable length and end fittings are what make a tension part fit, and they vary more than people expect. Older asymmetric lifts ran a long cable and a short cable; some columns use a threaded stud end, others a button or wedge. Order by the lift's actual routing, not a guess, because a cable that's an inch off or ends in the wrong fitting won't tension right no matter how you adjust it.
A cable is only as good as the sheave it rides. The two parts wear as a system: a grooved or wobbling sheave chews the cable, and a corded cable grinds a fresh sheave. That's why techs who pull a lift apart for one usually replace both, along with the small lock-release cable that trips the pawls. Swapping a cable onto worn sheaves just starts the failure clock over again.

Replacing your sheave
Replacing a lift cable is straightforward hand-tool work, but the details decide whether the lift lands level afterward — routing each cable correctly over its sheaves, connecting the hard-to-reach end first, and setting the adjusting nuts so every lock clicks together. Before you cut the old cable off, lay the new one alongside it to confirm the length is right. Because a mis-routed or unequal set makes the lift arrive crooked, the full procedure is worth following start to finish. Full step-by-step: how to replace car lift sheaves.
Find the right part for your lift
Not certain this is the exact part your lift needs? Start with your lift's model and serial off the data plate, then open our parts lookup to see the visual parts breakdown for your model — the exploded drawing with every part numbered and priced. If your plate is missing or unreadable, our guide to finding your model number walks through where to find it, or send us a photo and we will identify the lift for you.
Signs a cable or sheave is worn out
Pay attention to the cable ends and fittings. The threaded stud where the adjusting nut rides is a common failure point — look for stretched, necked-down threads and cracks at the swage where the fitting is crimped to the cable. If the swage shows any gap or the wires are pulling out of the fitting, the cable is finished regardless of how good the middle looks.
Parts commonly replaced at the same time
Rarely is a tension part a solo job. A worn cable often means the sheaves it rides are grooved, and a failed sheave chews cables — so plan on doing them together. We can pull the matched cable set plus sheaves and pins for your exact lift so nothing gets missed and you are not back in there next month.
Safety notes
The whole reason a lift has redundant locks is that cables and sheaves are wear items that will eventually fail — your job is to replace them before they get there. Do not run a lift on a cable with broken strands or a sheave with a chipped flange, and never work under a load resting on tension parts you do not trust. Drop it to the locks first.
Before you order
Get it right the first time: note your lift's model and serial, count the cables in the set, and check the sheaves while you are at it. Ordering matched tension parts together saves a return and a repeat teardown. If you are unsure which length your lift takes, send a photo of the plate.
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.

About this 26k40010 lift pulley
The 26k40010 lift pulley 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
Torque and installation notes for this component follow the manufacturer's service manual. Where a torque value is called out, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the tightening sequence the manual publishes for that fastener location — many lift assemblies require star-pattern or crosswise tightening to distribute load evenly. Skipping that step is one of the most common reasons a correctly-sourced 26k40010 lift pulley still ends up needing to be re-serviced within a year. Our tech line at 800-674-9302 will walk your installer through the procedure if the shop does not have the current service manual on hand.
Shipping & ordering
Shipping runs 3-5 business days on standard ground to the lower 48 states. Expedited overnight and two-day options are available; call 800-674-9302 before ordering to quote expedited freight. We stock the 26k40010 lift pulley in Iowa and ship same-day for orders confirmed before 2 PM Central. Orders that come in later than that or on a Friday afternoon pick up on the next business day. A tracking number gets emailed to the address on the order the moment the package leaves our dock.
Warranty coverage
Every 26k40010 lift pulley 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
Alternate applications for the 26k40010 lift pulley sometimes exist. Where a common part fits multiple lift models across a manufacturer's catalog, cross-reference sheets show the compatible models explicitly. If you are consolidating parts stock and want to know which of your lifts the piece covers, email the request to [email protected] with a list of the lift models in your bay — we return a compatibility grid showing which lifts accept the replacement and which need a different number.
