Product description

Ensuring that safety locks engage and release in unison is a mechanical challenge that requires the Safety Release Connecting Rod for Snap-On and John Bean lifts. This rod serves as the physical linkage between the safety release handle (or actuator) and the locking pawls on the opposite side of the lift. By mechanically tying the safety mechanisms together, this rod ensures that when you pull the release, both carriages are unlocked simultaneously, allowing for a safe and level descent. Manufactured from high-strength steel rod stock, it is designed to resist bending and stretching, which could otherwise lead to unsynchronized locking. The ends of the rod are often threaded or notched to allow for fine adjustments, ensuring the safety locks are perfectly timed. A damaged or missing connecting rod is a serious safety concern, as it could result in one side of the lift remaining locked while the other side is released, leading to dangerous vehicle tilting.
