BENDPAK XPR-9S-DC DIECAST CAR LIFT, 22 Pound Capacity

Precision Billet Aluminum Construction

The XPR-9S-DC is engineered entirely from CNC-machined billet aluminum—towers, arms, and base frame carved from solid stock rather than cast. This manufacturing process delivers superior dimensional precision, tighter tolerances, and a flawless surface finish that distinguishes this model from cast aluminum or plastic alternatives.

Billet construction addresses the durability challenge inherent in scale model lifts. Traditional hobby scale models use less expensive casting or plastic, which becomes brittle and fails under sustained lifting cycles. Billet aluminum maintains structural integrity through hundreds of operational cycles without dimensional creep or stress fractures.

This engineering approach enables long-term display durability and reliable operation. The lift maintains perfectly aligned columns and smooth synchronization across its operational lifespan, preserving the mechanical precision and aesthetic detail that collectors and enthusiasts expect from an officially licensed product.

Dual DC Motor System with Level Lifting

The XPR-9S-DC features two permanent-magnet DC motors—one per column—each driving a steel screw mechanism. This dual-motor architecture with synchronized steel drive screws ensures perfectly level lifting across the entire 9.45-inch range, preventing uneven vehicle settlement or tilting that plagues single-motor or manual competitor designs.

When technicians service scale models, uneven lift surfaces risk vehicle slippage or damage to delicate component fitments. The dual motor system eliminates this industry-wide challenge by maintaining perpendicular rise on both columns simultaneously. Integrated micro-switches at full raise and full lower automatically cut motor power, protecting internal mechanisms and preventing over-travel damage.

This enables safe, predictable lifting of RC vehicles and display pieces without manual adjustment or balancing. The 50-second lift time provides dynamic display action while maintaining controlled, professional operation that showcases the precision of your scale collection.

Telescoping Adjustable Lift Arms

Fully adjustable telescoping arms with front reach from 4.0 to 5.5 inches (102–140 mm) and rear reach from 3.5 to 5.75 inches (89–146 mm) accommodate diverse 1/10 and 1/8 scale vehicle geometries. The arms swing inward and outward while lift pads contact wheel wells or frame mounting points with precision repeatability across operational cycles.

Scale vehicle collectors face compatibility challenges when a single lift design fails to fit different chassis lengths or track widths. Traditional fixed-arm competitors limit you to narrow vehicle categories. The telescoping design addresses this by providing flexible positioning for crawlers, trucks, cars, and specialty builds within the 22 lb weight envelope.

This versatility enables you to showcase your entire scale collection on a single lift platform. Whether you're displaying a short-wheelbase RC crawler or a longer monster truck, adjustable arms ensure proper load distribution and stable, level support for photography, content creation, or diorama display.

Integrated Safety Architecture with Auto-Shutoff

The XPR-9S-DC incorporates a micro-switch safety system at the top and bottom of lift travel that automatically cuts motor power when lift pads reach full extension or full collapse. This dual-point protection prevents mechanical overload, reduces internal wear, and protects the battery and motor electronics from over-current conditions.

Unprotected scale lift models lack automatic shutoff, forcing operators to manually release buttons at precisely the right moment. Over-travel damage accumulates over time—worn gears, damaged electronics, internal component binding. The automatic micro-switch architecture addresses this common durability problem by making safe operation the default, not the exception.

This eliminates operator error and extends the functional lifespan of the lift through hundreds of demonstration cycles. The anti-tip base frame design adds horizontal stability during operation and transport, preventing tipping when loading or unloading vehicles on the lift pads.

Concealed Battery System with RC-Standard Charging

The 7.2 Volt, 1,400 mAh NiMH rechargeable battery is housed inside the lift base, creating a cable-free, display-ready accessory with clean aesthetics. The battery connects via industry-standard JST-PH 2.0 pigtail connector, compatible with any RC hobby-grade NiMH charger—no proprietary charging infrastructure required.

Traditional powered scale lifts either use visible external power cords or batteries mounted on the side, compromising the aesthetic impact of diorama displays. The concealed battery design addresses this presentation challenge, delivering a professional appearance suitable for photography, trade shows, and permanent display installations without cable clutter.

This enables portable operation at RC events, hobby shops, and competitions. The self-contained power system makes the lift display-ready immediately—just charge and operate. Portability for demonstrations and events, combined with clean aesthetics, sets this design apart from mains-powered or externally-powered competitor models.

Official BendPak Licensing with Authentic Styling

The XPR-9S-DC is officially licensed by BendPak and manufactured by RC4WD under direct partnership. The model replicates the visual and mechanical design of BendPak's professional XPR-9S industrial lift (9,000 lb capacity), featuring authentic gunmetal gray paint finish, official BendPak decals, and safety warning labels that mirror the real equipment.

Generic or unlicensed scale lift models lack this heritage authenticity. Collectors and enthusiasts demand direct connection to recognized professional equipment brands. Official licensing ensures that your display piece represents genuine BendPak engineering, not a generic approximation. The included decal sheets feature precise BendPak branding that matches the production lift's visual identity.

This authenticity strengthens the collectibility and display value of the model. You're not just displaying a scale toy—you're showcasing a credible miniature of recognized professional shop equipment. For automotive enthusiasts, RC serious builders, and model collectors, this licensed authenticity is a critical differentiator.
