Glad you were able to track down the issue. It's a good example of why intermittent lift problems are worth investigating thoroughly before replacing expensive components.
Even when there are no obvious leaks or visible signs of damage, contamination in a hydraulic system can still affect performance. Checking the fluid condition, reservoir, and any applicable filtration components during troubleshooting can help identify problems that aren't immediately apparent.
It's also worth following the manufacturer's maintenance procedures to reduce the chances of the same issue returning. Proper diagnosis and preventive servicing can make a real difference in keeping accessibility equipment reliable and avoiding unnecessary repair costs.
