BendPak PL-6000DCX 6,000 lb Two-Post Parking Lift
The BendPak PL-6000DCX is a 6,000 lb capacity two-post parking lift with a shared/ganged column design that allows multiple lifts to be installed side-by-side in minimal space. Fits in a standard 8' parking space and works both indoors and outdoors. Features 82.5" lift height, 157" platform length, and 94.5" usable platform width. Gravity-driven lowering reduces operating costs. Galvanized anti-slip platform with full-width center panels protect the vehicle below. 208-240V single-phase power. Special order item.
Who It's For
- Commercial Parking Facilities: Shared column design allows multiple lifts side-by-side in minimum space. Double parking capacity without major construction.
- Automotive Dealerships: Store inventory vehicles on upper level, keep active inventory accessible below. Works indoors and outdoors.
- Real Estate Developers: Fits standard 8' parking spaces. Ideal for new construction or retrofit projects requiring high-density parking.
- Residential and Condo Garages: Double parking capacity in existing spaces. Freestanding design minimizes structural modifications.
- Fleet Operations: Long-term storage on upper level, short-term parking below. Gravity-driven lowering reduces operating costs.
Features
Shared/Ganged Column Design
The innovative shared column design allows multiple PL-6000DCX lifts to be installed side-by-side with columns shared between adjacent units. This maximizes parking density in limited space and reduces overall cost compared to installing separate lifts. Ideal for commercial facilities, parking garages, and dealerships needing high-density vehicle storage.
6,000 lb Lifting Capacity
Handles sedans, SUVs, sports cars, pickups, vans, and light trucks up to 6,000 lb. The 157" platform length and 94.5" usable width accommodate most passenger vehicles. Single dual-telescoping direct-drive hydraulic cylinder provides smooth, reliable operation with lower maintenance than screw-drive systems.
Gravity-Driven Lowering
The platform lowers using gravity rather than electric motor power, significantly reducing operating costs. The hydraulic system controls descent speed for safe, smooth lowering. This design also reduces wear on electrical components and simplifies maintenance.
Indoor/Outdoor Installation
Commercial-grade construction works in both indoor and outdoor environments. Galvanized and corrugated anti-slip platform resists corrosion. Freestanding design installs on concrete surfaces without extensive structural modifications. Operating temperature range: 41°F to 104°F.
Automatic Safety Lock
Load-holding devices automatically engage as the lift raises, preventing sudden free fall if a suspension component fails. Once at height, lower the platform onto the locks to minimize wear on suspension components. Manual safety lock release for controlled lowering. Hydraulic overload protection prevents lifting beyond capacity.
Full-Width Platform Protection
Channel-locked center panels span the full platform width, protecting the vehicle stored below from drips and debris. Wide deck platform with galvanized anti-slip surface. Platform can stop at different heights to accommodate various vehicles and ceiling clearances. Electric key switch provides security and automatic shut-off.

Questions About the PL-6000DCX?
Ganged installation planning, space requirements, or help choosing the right parking lift.
FAQ
What does "shared column" or "ganged" design mean?
Multiple PL-6000DCX lifts can be installed side-by-side with columns shared between adjacent units. Instead of each lift having four independent posts, neighboring lifts share the posts between them. This reduces the total footprint and cost when installing multiple units.
Will this fit in a standard parking space?
Yes. The PL-6000DCX is designed to fit in a standard 8' wide parking space. Total width is 112" (9'4") outside edge to outside edge, but the shared column design allows tighter spacing when installing multiple units.
Can this be installed outdoors?
Yes. Commercial-grade construction and galvanized platform allow indoor or outdoor installation. Operating temperature range is 41°F to 104°F. Install on a reinforced concrete surface.
What is gravity-driven lowering?
The platform lowers using gravity rather than electric motor power. The hydraulic system controls descent speed for safe, smooth lowering. This reduces operating costs and electrical component wear compared to motor-driven lowering systems.
What ceiling height do I need?
Post height is 131" (10'11"). Add your vehicle height when raised to determine total ceiling clearance needed. The platform can stop at different heights to accommodate various ceiling clearances.
What vehicles fit on this lift?
The 157" platform length and 94.5" usable width accommodate sedans, SUVs, sports cars, pickups, vans, and light trucks up to 6,000 lb. Verify your specific vehicle dimensions against the platform specs.
How does the safety lock work?
Load-holding devices automatically engage as the lift raises, preventing sudden free fall. Once at height, lower the platform onto the locks to minimize suspension wear during storage. Manual safety lock release controls lowering.
What power is required?
208-240V, 50/60Hz, single-phase, 22 Amps. The 4 HP overhead power unit provides smooth, quiet hydraulic operation. Licensed electrician required for installation.
Is this a special order item?
Yes. The PL-6000DCX is a special order item. Contact us for current lead time and pricing.
Does the platform protect the vehicle below?
Yes. Full-width channel-locked center panels span the platform, protecting the lower vehicle from drips and debris. The galvanized anti-slip surface also resists corrosion.
