I've only had 1 (repeated) problem with the rolling jack.
The air over hydraulic pump gets stuck and the only way to get it working again is to take the pump apart. It isn't that hard to do, but it feels time consuming because it happens when I've got other projects to work on! My air has a cheap moisture trap but I'm not the best when it comes to adding oil to the air inlet.
... and when I say stuck, it isn't really all that stuck to begin with. No amount of air pressure would make work again. I take off the cover, remove a fitting that goes from the top into the pump, take out the bolts holding the pump together, make sure the piston moves, then reassemble (maybe with some air tool oil) and it works. This has happened maybe half a dozen times since I bought it in 2009.
Funny enough the lift sat in storage for over 2 years when I moved and the air/hydraulic pump worked fine after, so go figure.
