Lifting hardware fails in sequence: a dry bearing loads a cable, the cable frays at the drum, the drum groove wears, the spring works harder than it should. Catching the first link in that chain saves the rest.

What the winter left behind
In this climate the foot of the track is where trouble collects. Slush and salt carried in on the tires settle in the bottom few inches, freeze overnight into ridges and leave a brine that attacks steel. The technician looks for corrosion on the bottom rollers and their stems, rust on the bottom brackets, ice damage or flat spots on wheels that have been skidding rather than turning, and the state of the lifting cables that share that wet corner.
Finding salt damage here steers the recommendation toward sealed-bearing rollers and a thorough track cleaning, and occasionally toward new bottom brackets as well.
