if it,s been lying around for 5yrs it might need a full mech. overhaul ? does it have any hand cranking devise that you could raise it up and down a few times by hand

benji,
It's been stripped and rebuilt with new bearings, load nuts and safety nuts. It's free and is lifting a lightweight car fine. I have pretty much ascertained that the motor needs to be replaced with a bigger one to get it to lift something heavier than about 1 ton.
Thanks

Quick Update- New 3 KW motor and the lift is working like a dream. heavy cars go up, down and up again with ease.
Many thanks to everyone here for your advice and guidance
Cheers
