General BendPak FAQs
Do car lifts require maintenance?
BendPak lifts are designed for minimal maintenance. Regular inspections and lubrication are key. Check the owner's manual for your specific model, but typically, monthly inspections of the cables, hydraulic systems, and lubrication points are recommended. This will help ensure optimal performance and longevity.
What are the floor requirements?
A level, structurally sound concrete floor is essential. BendPak recommends a minimum thickness of 4 inches with a PSI rating of 3,000 or greater. The floor should be level within 3 degrees of slope. Proper floor conditions are crucial for the safe and stable operation of your lift.
What's covered under warranty?
BendPak offers a comprehensive warranty for peace of mind. This typically includes: * 5-year structural warranty, * 2-year power unit warranty, * 1-year parts warranty
(Note: Warranty specifics may vary, so always refer to the official warranty documentation for the most accurate information.)
What voltage options are available?
BendPak offers flexibility with voltage options. Most lifts are available in both 110V and 220V configurations to suit your power supply. Be sure to check the specific requirements for the model you're interested in.
Do I need an air compressor?
Yes, an air compressor is necessary for operating the safety lock releases on BendPak four-post lifts. A typical air supply of 30-40 PSI is sufficient.
How do I find a certified installer?
BendPak recommends professional installation for optimal safety and performance. Contact your authorized distributor for a list of certified installers in your area. They can provide expert installation services to ensure your lift is set up correctly.
PL-6000DC Specific FAQs
Can this lift be used to service vehicles, or is it strictly for storage?
The PL-6000DC is primarily designed for parking and storing vehicles. While it provides a stable platform, it is not intended for extensive vehicle servicing that requires free wheel access or significant undercarriage work. For maintenance tasks like oil changes or brake inspections, additional equipment may be necessary. It excels at creating more parking space, which is its primary function.
How does the shared column design affect the overall stability of the lift system?
The shared column design enhances stability by distributing the weight across multiple columns. When ganged, the units become more structurally sound, creating a rigid and secure parking system. This design is engineered to maintain stability and safety, even with multiple lifts installed in close proximity. The freestanding design when ganged two or wide also increases stability.
What type of vehicles are best suited for the PL-6000DC, and are there any vehicle size or weight limitations I should be aware of?
The PL-6000DC is designed to accommodate a wide range of vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, and light trucks, with a maximum capacity of 6,000 pounds. Ensure your vehicle's dimensions do not exceed the platform's usable width and length (82.5 inches and 157 inches, respectively). While the lift is versatile, it's essential to check your vehicle's specifications to ensure compatibility.
If there is a power outage, how do I lower the vehicle from the raised position?
In the event of a power outage, the automatic locking system engages, securing the platform in place. The PL-6000DC features a manual safety lock release, which allows you to safely lower the platform. You will need to manually disengage the safety locks and carefully lower the lift. Always follow the instructions provided in the user manual for safe operation during power outages.
Is the PL-6000DC ALI certified?
Yes, PL-6000DC is certified by the Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) to meet industry safety and performance standard. This certification provides assurance that the lift has been rigorously tested and meet stringent requirements.
California Prop 65 Warning
WARNING: Use of these products can expose you to chemicals including styrene and vinyl chloride which are on the list of over 900 chemicals identified by the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or reproductive harm. ALWAYS use this product in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. For more information, go to www.p65warnings.ca.gov.
This warning is required by the California Proposition 65 (Prop 65), also called the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act which is meant to notify California residents of exposures to Prop 65 listed chemicals that are known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. The State of California maintains a list of these chemicals and updates it annually.
The Prop 65 list currently contains over 900 chemicals and continues to expand. The law requires companies to provide a warning on their products and/or packaging if they contain these chemicals. Proposition 65 only applies to companies that operate, manufacture or sell products in California, but because our products are sold all over the world we have elected to include Prop 65 warnings on all products we sell to provide consumers with information so that they can make informed decisions about the products they purchase and use.
The warning does not mean that the product is in violation of any product safety standard, but that certain chemicals may have been used in the manufacturing or packaging production process, even if these products have been used for many years without documented harm.
