Thanks. Yes, I was all along wondering if I could lift the chassis high enough for the leg to drop out, then I'd see some sort of mechanism and maybe a hint why it has failed. The fact that three have all done the same suggests to me it's not a complex issue. The handle appears not to be held on in any obvious way. I think I'll try to tip the chassis and see if a leg will come out. Cheers.

Yes it would be, if I could find out what to do

For it's age and lack of maintenance it's amazing

So here is a picture. Now three legs have failed which is a problem.

Oh my! Well, I'm sure I can find some bits to fix it. Thank you.

That's a great idea, thanks

Haven't tried to go the whole hog taking them apart yet. Thought there might be a simple solution, but, if not I'll do the big take apart.

Marble isn't too bad, but a bit heavy.

It doesn't say in the manual what is inside the jack. Like it is a seal unit or something.

No, the worm screw, or whatever is inside, is completely hidden in the casing.

I said breeze blocks. They are actually massive lumps of marble.

Hi all I have an older cherrypicker with extending outriggers and the stilts at the end with a spinning handle for the raising/lowering feet. Obviously there is a thread in there. Two of the stilts have become dethatched internally so I'm sticking breeze blocks under the outriggers. Basically the feet just drop/are lose and the handle just spins. Does anyone know how to fix this? The breeze blocks are annoying as I have to use a car jack to get the cherrypicker firm. Thanks for any ideas.
