Take a look at this lift and tell me what you think. It is at a
school and supposedly failed inspection and indicated in the
auction, but it looks to me like if it really did have leaks you
would see evidence of it and they say they have not seen any leaks.
Also the wear on the bar they are talking about does not look bad to
me. I am wondering if this might be a case of the "inspector"
failing it due to being overboard when in fact it is perfectly fine.
Plus after talking to seller it appears they are wanting to upgrade
their lift anyway so maybe thats the deal. I don't know. Does
anything in the photos stick out to you guys? I have a line on a
scissor lift as well but it looks like it have been left outside for
a long time.

I am guessing the fix was in so teach could buy a new 'un.
IF there is an internal leak, a kit for a hyd cyl is pretty cheap.
Or, you can just let it leak back to the catches, and let the catches
hold the load. That is actually how it is SUPPOSED to be used.
Lift, then let off the hyd pressure so the catches hold the load.
It could be the valve is worn, so the fluid just leaks back into the
reservoir. That "fix" may only require a couple orings. I'd guess
this is more likely than an internal cylinder leak.
