BENDPAK 10APX, Two Post Car Lift, 10000 lb Capacity, Adaptable Clearfloor Adjustable Width Screw Pads HIGH-RISE
BendPak 10APX - Professional High-Rise Two-Post Lift for Electric Vehicles and Cargo Vans
The BendPak 10APX delivers 10,000 lb capacity in a clearfloor design, engineered for professional repair shops and advanced home garages. Featuring patent-protected ASARS safety system, Bi-Metric triple-telescoping arms, and 79.5" lifting height, this high-rise lift handles everything from electric vehicles to cargo vans with exceptional under-car access.
Key Features & Benefits
Patent-Protected ASARS Safety System
The Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System (ASARS) delivers 2,000+ lb of clamping force through a 360-degree load-holding grip engineered from heavily forged steel. This patented mechanism automatically secures swing arms against unplanned movement when lifting vehicles, maintaining position even under elevated forces.
Traditional restraint systems fail when technicians remove heavy drivetrain components like engines, transmissions, or axles. ASARS addresses this industry-wide challenge by providing automatic adaptive grip that engages on contact with the vehicle, requiring no manual lock activation or adjustment during the process.
This enables safer component extraction and installation by eliminating arm slippage risks. The quick-release operator lever provides instant pressure release when needed, without compromising the system's holding strength during active service operations.
High-Rise Ergonomic Design
The 10APX's 79.5" lifting height with 157" overhead clearance specifically addresses technician comfort and efficiency for extended under-car service work. This high-rise configuration provides exceptional standing room and eliminates awkward positioning that plagues standard-height lifts when servicing larger vehicles.
Traditional lifts force technicians into cramped positions during engine work, transmission service, and exhaust repairs on trucks and vans. The 10APX's extended height design allows full upright positioning underneath lifted vehicles, reducing fatigue and improving work quality during long service intervals.
This improves shop productivity by reducing technician fatigue and enabling faster, more accurate work on heavy-duty vehicles. The extra clearance is particularly beneficial for taller mechanics and when using service equipment like transmission jacks or engine hoists underneath the lift.
Bi-Metric Triple-Telescoping Arms
The revolutionary triple-telescoping arm design offers 22" to 57" reach range with inner sliding arms that extend beyond pivot pins for exceptional positioning versatility. These Bi-Metric arms support both symmetric and asymmetric lifting configurations, adapting to vehicle-specific lifting point requirements without adapter changes.
Conventional two-stage arms limit technicians to narrow positioning windows, often requiring multiple lift attempts to locate optimal contact points on modern vehicles with varied lifting points. The 10APX's triple-telescoping system provides 25% greater travel range than typical competitor designs, enabling service of both low-clearance sports cars and high-clearance trucks.
This eliminates time-consuming repositioning cycles and enables faster vehicle setup. The extended reach accommodates outer-positioned electric vehicle lifting points and wide-body commercial vehicles that exceed the capacity of standard lift arms.
EV-Optimized Load Handling
Purpose-built for heavier electric vehicles with reinforced frameworks using high tensile-strength steels and specialized swing arm profiles for outer-positioned EV lifting points. The system's documented capability handles 6,000+ lb vehicles that often exceed typical lift practical limits while maintaining structural integrity.
Electric vehicles present unique challenges with battery pack weight distribution and non-standard lifting points positioned further outboard than conventional vehicles. Standard lifts often struggle with EVs due to inadequate reach and insufficient load-handling capability at extended arm positions.
This enables confident EV service by providing verified capacity ratings at maximum arm extension. The reinforced construction and optimized geometry ensure stable lifting of Tesla Model S, BMW i-series, and other heavy electric vehicles without compromising safety margins.
Performance-Optimized Hydraulics
The HVLP direct-drive system achieves full rise in 45 seconds while operating under 70 dB noise levels, delivering faster cycle times than chain-driven alternatives. The 3 HP motor with 220 VAC single-phase power provides consistent performance without the complexity of three-phase electrical requirements.
Chain-driven systems create operational delays and maintenance overhead that impact shop efficiency during high-volume days. Direct-drive hydraulics eliminate chain stretch, sprocket wear, and the associated downtime while providing more responsive lifting control for precise vehicle positioning.
This reduces service bay downtime by 15-20% compared to slower-rising competitive lifts. The quieter operation improves shop environment while the simplified hydraulic design minimizes maintenance requirements and reduces long-term operating costs.
5-2-1 Warranty Coverage
BendPak's comprehensive warranty structure provides 5 years structural, 2 years hydraulic, 1 year components coverage that exceeds typical industry standards. This tiered approach reflects the engineered durability of critical load-bearing components while providing practical coverage for operational systems and electrical components.
Standard industry warranty coverage typically provides only 1-year comprehensive protection, leaving shops vulnerable to major repair costs on structural components and hydraulic systems that should provide decades of service. The 10APX's extended coverage structure demonstrates manufacturer confidence in long-term reliability.
This reduces total cost of ownership by protecting against unexpected repair expenses during the lift's most productive years. The 2-year hydraulic coverage particularly benefits high-usage commercial shops where hydraulic components experience greater wear cycles.
