View Original XPR-18CL-192 Product Information & Specifications
BendPak XPR-18CL-192 Two-Post Lift Overview
The XPR-18CL-192 was an 18,000 lb capacity clearfloor two-post lift with 192-inch maximum lifting height, engineered for fleet maintenance, dealership service departments, and independent repair shops. It featured direct-drive hydraulic synchronization, polished chrome columns, and standard arms for handling passenger vehicles, light trucks, luxury SUVs, and commercial vans up to 3/4-ton rating.
XPR-18CL-192 Key Features
ClearFloor Design
The ClearFloor design eliminated vertical support columns from the work area, providing unobstructed workspace beneath the lifted vehicle. Technicians could position fluid drip pans, transmission jacks, and component storage directly under vehicles without repositioning equipment between service operations.
Direct-Drive Dual-Stage Synchronization
The dual-stage hydraulic system maintained platform level within ±1/8 inch across the full 192-inch lift range. Each column lifted independently with pilot-operated check valves ensuring synchronized rise and descent even under uneven load conditions.
Polished Chrome Columns
Hardened polished chrome plating resisted salt-air corrosion, moisture, and environmental degradation. Steel welded frame with powder-coat finish and SAE Grade 8 fasteners completed the corrosion-resistant construction for 15+ years of service life.
192-Inch Maximum Height
The extended lifting height enabled full undercarriage visibility and frame rail access without repositioning. Suspension measurement systems, frame straightening prep work, and engine compartment service all benefited from the extended lift range.
18,000 lb Capacity
The capacity covered 3/4-ton trucks, luxury SUVs, high-performance vehicles, and commercial vans. Even load distribution across both posts prevented stress concentration on individual columns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why was the XPR-18CL-192 discontinued?
BendPak replaced the XPR series with the new AP Series, which features significant safety and design improvements. The AP Series was developed specifically for heavier modern vehicles including EVs, with enhanced features like the Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System (ASARS™), Bi-Metric™ arms, and higher-tensile steel construction.
What is the direct replacement for the XPR-18CL-192?
The BendPak 20AP-192 is the recommended replacement. While the capacity increased from 18,000 lb to 20,000 lb, the 20AP-192 maintains a similar 193" overall height and adds all the AP Series safety and performance upgrades.
Are XPR-18CL-192 replacement parts still available?
BendPak maintains parts support for discontinued models. Contact BendPak directly or an authorized dealer for replacement parts availability and pricing.
What are the main differences between the XPR-18CL-192 and 20AP-192?
Key differences include:
- Capacity: 20,000 lb (20AP-192) vs 18,000 lb (XPR-18CL-192)
- Arm System: Bi-Metric™ arms that work in both symmetric and asymmetric configurations without switching
- Safety: ASARS™ (Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System) with 2,000+ lbs of holding force and 360-degree grip
- Lock System: Patented automatic safety lock system for improved operator safety
- Construction: Higher-tensile steel designed for heavier EVs and modern vehicles
Is the XPR-18CL-192 still covered under warranty?
Original warranty coverage applies based on purchase date. The XPR-18CL-192 had a 3-year structural warranty, 2-year hydraulic system coverage, and 1-year electrical component warranty. Contact BendPak with your lift's serial number for warranty status verification.
Can the 20AP-192 use the same installation footprint?
The 20AP-192 has similar dimensional requirements but you should verify concrete specifications and electrical requirements before installation. The AP Series may have updated anchor patterns and power requirements. Consult the 20AP-192 installation manual for exact specifications.
