The Rotary FJ6202-3 lift arm component is the direct replacement for the Rotary lift it came off of. Cross-referenced as ALS-7542-66P, 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 lift arm component 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-7542-66P
- Brand: Rotary
- Type: Genuine OEM lift arm component
The restraint gear on a 2-post lift is the toothed gear that engages when the lifting arm swings in under load, locking the arm at whatever angle the tech set it to. When teeth wear round, chip, or the pawl gear that engages into the restraint gear loses its point, the arm can swing under load — and a swung arm with a vehicle on it drops the vehicle. Any restraint gear that will not positively catch the arm under light hand pressure needs to come off, whether the teeth look okay or not.

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.
Also inspect
- Arm pin — if you had a bad restraint gear you may also have a mushroomed or grooved arm pin
- Foot-pad rubber — intact, securely attached
- Return spring on the pawl
- Arm itself — broken welds, cracks, severe rust
A restraint gear that will not engage is a lift that is unsafe to load. Do not put a vehicle on the lift until you confirm both arms lock positively under hand pressure.

About this fj6202 rubber arm
Every order for the fj6202 rubber arm 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 fj6202 rubber arm 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 fj6202 rubber arm 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 fj6202 rubber arm 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
Cross-reference on the fj6202 rubber arm 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.
