Who It's For

  • Electric Vehicle Service: Tesla, Rivian, F-150 Lightning, and commercial EVs. Bi-Metric arms reach outboard lift points on battery-heavy vehicles.
  • Fleet Maintenance: Delivery vans, utility trucks, and mixed commercial fleets requiring extended height clearance.
  • Professional Shops: High-volume facilities servicing trucks, SUVs, and commercial vehicles up to 10,000 lb.

Key Features

181" Extended Height

The 181" overall height provides clearance for high-roof cargo vans that won't fit under standard lifts. Maximum lifting height is 89" with adapters, and rise to pads is 75.5". If you service Transit, Sprinter, or ProMaster high-roof models, this is the lift.

Bi-Metric Swing Arms

Bi-Metric arms support both symmetric and asymmetric lifting without reconfiguration. The triple-telescoping design provides extended reach for outboard lift points on EVs and trucks with non-standard chassis geometry.

ASARS Arm Restraint

The patented Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System provides 2,000+ lb holding force with 360-degree engagement. This prevents arm slippage during heavy component removal and includes single-point release when you need it.

Direct-Drive Hydraulics

Dual direct-drive cylinders eliminate chains or screws to maintain. Rise time is 45 seconds to full height with an HVLP hydraulic system and 3 HP motor.

Clearfloor Design

No floor plate or crossbeam obstructions. Full drive-through access with adjustable width from 135" to 145" between columns.

About the Brand

BendPak

BendPak hasn't stayed relevant for six decades by standing still. MaxJax addressed the need for portable two-post capability. QuickJack created a new category of portable frame lifts. The GrandPrix series solved low-ceiling constraints. Autostacker brought fresh thinking to parking lifts. This pattern of identifying real problems and engineering solutions around them separates manufacturers that lead from those that follow. BendPak builds for use cases other manufacturers ignore entirely.
