Sealed glide adapter

A hydraulic lift comprising:

• a housing;
• a connecting head secured to one end of said housing;
• a hydraulic cylinder sealably coupled to said connecting head and including a piston and piston rod therein, wherein said piston rod extends and retracts from said cylinder from an end of said hydraulic cylinder opposite said connecting head;
• a support tube slidably mounted in said housing;
• a generally cylindrical glide adapter having a first annular recess with an O-ring sealably coupling said glide adapter to a lower end of said support tube, said glide adapter further including a mechanical connection to said support tube, said glide adapter further including a cylindrical aperture formed in an upper end thereof, said cylindrical aperture including an undercut recess for receiving a seal;
• and
• a seal including an annular shoulder extending over said upper end of said glide adapter and an annular resilient outwardly extending tab spaced axially from said shoulder for snap-fitting said seal into said cylindrical aperture with said tab extending into said undercut recess, wherein said seal includes an annular recess for receiving an O-ring extending between an outer surface of said cylindrical seal and the cylindrical aperture of said glide adapter.
