BENDPAK EV2400SL EV Battery Pack and Powertrain Lift Table
BendPak EV2400SL - 2,400 lb Battery -Powered EV Battery Pack & Powertrain Lift Table
The BendPak EV2400SL delivers 2,400 lb capacity in a portable, full-rise scissor lift engineered for electric vehicle battery pack and powertrain service. Featuring zero-throw casters, 12V deep-cycle power, and 18-second lift cycles, this mobile lifting system handles EV battery removal and installation for multi-bay shop workflows.
Key Features & Benefits
Zero-Throw Caster Mobility System
The zero-throw caster design provides omnidirectional movement with single-action floor locking mechanisms on all four corners. These advanced casters eliminate the dead space typical of conventional swivel designs, enabling precise positioning in tight service bays without requiring additional maneuvering clearance.
Traditional lift table casters require extra space for turning radius and often lock poorly on uneven shop floors. The zero-throw system addresses this industry-wide challenge by providing stable positioning regardless of floor imperfections, while the manual floor locks secure the table during lifting operations.
This enables efficient multi-bay workflows by allowing technicians to move the lift table directly between service positions. The compact footprint and superior maneuverability reduce setup time and improve bay utilization in busy EV service facilities.
12V Deep-Cycle Battery Power System
The onboard *2V deep-cycle battery with automatic 15A charger delivers 18-second lift cycles to full 75.75-inch height without requiring shop air or tethered power connections. The thermal-protected charging system maintains optimal battery performance and extends service life through intelligent 3-stage charging protocols.
Pneumatic and corded systems limit mobility and require dedicated connections that may not be available in all service bays. This cordless power system addresses these workflow constraints by providing consistent lifting performance regardless of bay location or available utilities.
This eliminates setup delays and enables rapid repositioning between service bays. Technicians can complete battery pack removal and installation cycles without waiting for system charging or managing air hoses and power cords during critical service operations.
Twin Hydraulic Cylinder Safety System
The twin hydraulic cylinders feature chrome-plated rods and integrated velocity fuses that monitor fluid flow rates to prevent uncontrolled descent. Multi-position mechanical safety locks engage at low, mid, and maximum height positions, providing redundant protection during service operations.
Single-cylinder systems and basic manual locks fail when technicians perform heavy component extraction or experience hydraulic system failures. This dual-cylinder design with automatic flow monitoring addresses critical safety gaps in conventional lift table designs.
This improves technician safety by providing fail-safe protection during EV battery pack handling. The mechanical locks prevent platform collapse even during hydraulic system maintenance, while the velocity fuses automatically engage if rapid fluid loss occurs during operation.
UHMW Polyethylene Platform Surface
The 40-inch × 60-inch platform features ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene decking that provides low-friction component positioning with superior impact resistance. The slip-plate design enables side-to-side adjustment for precise EV battery pack alignment during installation procedures.
Standard steel platform surfaces create friction during heavy component positioning and lack the electrical insulation properties required for EV service applications. UHMW decking addresses these material handling challenges while providing chemical resistance to automotive fluids and cleaning solvents.
This enables precise component alignment without scratching or damaging EV battery pack housings. The low-friction surface reduces the physical effort required for positioning heavy assemblies, while the electrical insulation properties provide additional safety margins during high-voltage component handling.
Adjustable Screw Jack Alignment System
Individual screw jacks at each corner provide pitch and roll adjustment capabilities for precise EV battery pack and powertrain alignment during removal and installation. The recessed mounting anchors accept modular fixtures and OEM-specific adapters for secure component positioning.
Fixed-height platforms cannot accommodate the varied mounting angles and attachment points found across different EV manufacturers and model configurations. This adjustable system addresses the precision alignment requirements for high-voltage battery pack connections and mechanical fastening points.
This reduces installation time and prevents connection damage by enabling exact component alignment before final fastening. The modular fixture system supports multiple vehicle platforms without requiring separate lifting equipment for different EV battery pack designs.
