Features

Heavy-Duty Aircraft Cable System

Four 3/8" stainless steel aircraft cables, each rated for 14,400 lb. Combined rating exceeds 640% of the lift's 9,000 lb capacity. Dual-hub cable sheaves distribute loads evenly and prevent premature wear. All cables route internally through the columns, protected from shop contamination and accidental damage.

14-Position Automatic Safety Locks

14 locking positions every 4" across the 70" rise. Four locks engage simultaneously as the lift rises. Push-button pneumatic release disengages all locks at once for controlled lowering. Independent backup slack-cable safety latches provide secondary protection.

Low-Profile Runway Design

5" minimum runway height with extended approach ramps for low-clearance vehicles. Sports cars and lowered vehicles drive on without scraping air dams or underbody components. Runways feature a durable matte finish for tire grip.

Internal Component Routing

Lifting cables, airlines, safety latches, and sheaves all route internally through the columns. This protects components from damage and creates a clean, professional appearance. Internal anti-sway slider blocks keep the runways tracking straight during travel.

Single-Cylinder Hydraulic Design

Single hydraulic cylinder mounted underneath the runway with electric-hydraulic power unit. 45 seconds to full rise. Customizable power unit location for flexible installation. The single-cylinder design keeps the system simple and reduces maintenance.

Freestanding Installation

Freestanding design suitable for parking, storage, and service applications. Runways accommodate both narrow and standard vehicle widths with adjustable spacing. Rail kit built into runways accepts optional accessories including rolling jacks, drip trays, and solid deck panels.

About the Brand

BendPak

Many BendPak lifts carry ALI/ETL certification, meaning they've been independently tested to meet ANSI safety standards. More importantly, BendPak treats certification as ongoing rather than a one-time marketing badge. For commercial shops, this matters because insurers and inspectors expect certified equipment. For home users, it's the clearest way to separate serious manufacturers from questionable imports. When you're trusting equipment to hold a vehicle over your head, independent verification of safety standards provides peace of mind that marketing claims alone cannot.
