BendPak PL-12000DP 12,000 lb ALI-Certified Double-Wide Four-Post Parking Lift with Independent Platforms
The BendPak PL-12000DP is a double-wide four-post parking lift with two independent platforms, each rated at 6,000 lb for a combined 12,000 lb system capacity. Featuring dual electric-hydraulic power units, this tall-rise model delivers 82.2" of maximum rise with 183" runway lengths to accommodate full-size trucks and SUVs. The tandem design allows one platform to operate without affecting the other, eliminating the vehicle shuffling required by shared-platform lifts.
Who It's For
- Residential Vehicle Collections: Home garages requiring double-density parking for car collectors with multiple vehicles, including sports cars, classics, and daily drivers stored in limited footprint spaces.
- Commercial Parking Facilities: Parking structures and commercial lots seeking to maximize vehicle capacity without expanding building footprint, using vertical stacking to double available spaces.
- Car Dealerships: New and used vehicle dealerships requiring efficient inventory storage with quick access to individual vehicles for customer viewings and test drives.
- Fleet Parking and Storage: Corporate and municipal fleet operations storing service vehicles, rental cars, or company vehicles in space-constrained facilities.
- Light Trucks and SUVs: Applications requiring parking storage for larger vehicles including pickup trucks, SUVs, and extended-wheelbase vehicles up to 6,000 lb per platform.
Features
Independent Dual-Platform Operation
Two completely autonomous platforms, each rated at 6,000 lb capacity for a combined 12,000 lb system total. Each platform is equipped with its own electric-hydraulic power unit, allowing users to raise or lower one vehicle while the other remains stationary at any height position. You can drive the lower vehicle in or out while the upper platform remains fully elevated, streamlining vehicle rotation in busy dealerships, fleet facilities, and multi-car home garages.
Extended-Length Tall-Rise Configuration
183" runway length and 82.2" maximum rise, engineered specifically for full-size trucks, extended-wheelbase SUVs, and longer vehicles that standard parking lifts cannot accommodate. The extended-length runways provide adequate support for vehicles with wheelbases up to 170". The 80.5" drive-thru height allows most trucks and SUVs to park beneath the elevated platform.
ALI-Certified 6-Position Safety Lock System
Pneumatic safety lock system provides 6 distinct height positions secured by automatic engagement locks that hold each platform independently. Heavy-duty galvanized lifting cables and dual hydraulic cylinders meet ANSI/ALI ALCTV standards, verified through third-party testing by the Automotive Lift Institute. The pneumatic lock release requires minimum 75 PSI air supply, ensuring locks cannot be accidentally disengaged without deliberate operator action.
Redundant Dual Power Unit Design
Each platform operates on its own dedicated 220 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 1-phase electric-hydraulic power unit, providing complete operational independence between the two lifting systems. If one power unit requires maintenance or service, the other platform continues to function normally without interruption. Service can be performed on one power unit while the other platform remains operational.
Complete Hardware Package Included
Ships with all essential installation hardware: two hydraulic power units, one pair of aluminum drive-up approach ramps, front and rear wheel chocks, built-in wheel stops, ANSI/ALI ALCTV-compliant concrete fasteners, and air line tubing for the lock disengagement system. The included concrete fasteners are specifically rated for the lift's load capacity.
