Why is my RGC Lifting Systems platform difficult or impossible to raise even though the winch is working?
- MMorgan JohnsonAug 11, 2025
If the winch seems to be working fine, but raising the platform is difficult or impossible, several factors could be at play. The platform might be binding because the frame isn't square or level in the water; in this case, refer to Sections 3.6 and 3.7. Other potential issues include broken wires (refer to Section 5.2), binding sheaves (inspect, lubricate, or replace them), excessively worn cables (replace as needed and follow the wire rope inspection procedure in Section 5.2), exceeding the rated load capacity (reduce weight accordingly; the capacity is determined by the first two digits of your lift number times 100), user or dealer installed locking devices (remove them), or auxiliary equipment improperly hung on the lift (remove permanently).
