BendPak 20AP-192 Two-Post Lift | 20,000 lb Capacity, Extended Height
The BendPak 20AP-192 is a 20,000 lb clear-floor two-post lift with 193" column height for servicing Class 1-5 trucks, buses, and emergency vehicles. Dual direct-drive hydraulic cylinders eliminate cables and chains. Patented ASARS swing arm restraints grip with 2,000+ lb of holding force. Full rise in 45 seconds. ALI Gold certified.
Who It's For
Fleet maintenance operations: Service delivery trucks, utility vehicles, and Class 4-5 commercial equipment. The 193" height gives tall technicians standing room under raised trucks, and the 107.75" drive-through clears wide dually pickups.
Emergency vehicle shops: Fire apparatus, ambulances, and rescue trucks with roof-mounted equipment need the extra column height. The 20,000 lb capacity handles fully loaded emergency vehicles.
Municipal and airport facilities: Ground support equipment, transit buses, and public works trucks. The clear-floor design keeps the work area open for transmission jacks, exhaust equipment, and alignment racks.
Features
ASARS Swing Arm Restraints
The patented Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System grips arms with 2,000+ lb of holding force. It engages automatically when arms contact the vehicle frame. No manual locks to set. When you remove an engine or transmission, the vehicle's weight shifts. ASARS keeps the arms from slipping. Single-point release when you need to reposition.
193" Extended Column Height
Standard two-post lifts top out around 145-150". The 20AP-192 adds 24" of headroom, reaching 193" overall. Maximum lifting height is 90.25" with adapters. This fits high-roof cargo vans, ambulances with rooftop HVAC, and fire trucks. Tall techs can work under raised vehicles without ducking.
Direct-Drive Hydraulic Cylinders
Dual hydraulic cylinders lift the carriages directly. No cables, no chains, no equalizers. That's 60% fewer maintenance points than cable-driven lifts. Full rise in 45 seconds. Runs on 220 VAC single-phase power. Noise stays under 70 dB.
Clear-Floor Design
Nothing on the floor between columns. Roll jacks, creepers, and alignment equipment move freely. The 107.75" drive-through width handles wide trucks and duallys. Multi-face column construction spreads load across multiple bearing surfaces. UHMW polyethylene bearings run without grease, cutting maintenance to annual inspections.
Expandable Top Beam and Bi-Metric Arms
Overall width adjusts up to 168". Arms extend from 35" to 65" and work in symmetric or asymmetric positions. One lift handles compact cars and Class 5 box trucks. No need for separate lifts for different vehicle types.
Complete Adapter Set Included
Ships with 12 adapters: (4) 2.5" medium stack, (4) 5" tall stack, and (4) drop-in frame cradle pads. Double-telescoping screw pads add 6+" of fine adjustment. Padded overhead safety shutoff bar, all mounting anchors, and installation hardware included.
