BendPak PL-6KT 18,000 lb Triple-Wide Parking Lift
The BendPak PL-6KT is a triple-wide parking lift with 18,000 lb total capacity (6,000 lb per platform). Turn three parking spots into six with three independent galvanized steel platforms that operate separately, so you can access any vehicle without moving others. The streamlined four-column design leaves all platforms free from surrounding posts for easy vehicle entry and exit. Features 89" rise, 93" drive-thru clearance, and 152" platform length. 110V or 220V power options. Special order item.
Who It's For
- Large Residential Garages: Turn a three-car garage into six-car storage. Independent platforms let you access any vehicle without shuffling others.
- Automotive Dealerships: Double vehicle display and storage capacity. Each platform operates independently for easy inventory access.
- Commercial Parking Facilities: Maximize parking capacity without extensive structural modifications. More efficient than buying three separate lifts.
- Car Collectors: Store six vehicles in the footprint of three. Galvanized steel platforms protect vehicles underneath from drips and debris.
- Fleet Operations: Streamline storage of multiple vehicles with independent platform access for easier maintenance scheduling.
Features
Three Independent Platforms
Each of the three galvanized steel platforms operates independently, so you can raise or lower any vehicle without disturbing adjacent stored vehicles. This eliminates the common parking lift problem of needing to move multiple cars just to access one. Each 82" x 152" platform handles up to 6,000 lb.
No Columns Between Platforms
The streamlined four-column structure places all posts at the outer corners, leaving all three lifting platforms free from surrounding columns. This makes it significantly easier and safer to enter and exit parked vehicles compared to designs with posts between each bay.
Single-Position Auto-Engaging Lock
All three platforms automatically lock into place at the maximum 89" rise position. This single-lock design is the safest storage configuration, as the platform and hydraulic system remain secure even in the unlikely event of hydraulic hose or cable failure. Push-button pneumatic release for lowering.
Internally Routed Hydraulics and Cables
All hydraulic lifting cylinders and heavy-duty 3/8" aircraft cables are routed internally throughout the structure. Engineering prevents cables from crossing over each other, ensuring smooth, safe platform travel. Oversized sheave diameters reduce cable fatigue for longer service life.
Full-Width Galvanized Platforms
Galvanized steel platforms resist oil, weather, and abuse for lifetime durability. Full-width design keeps vehicles stored underneath protected from drips. Built-in wheel stops and front/rear wheel chocks secure vehicles in place. Runways feature a durable matte finish.
Heavy-Duty Construction
Rugged I-beam and C-channel construction with wide base plates for maximum stability. Heavy-duty steel construction with durable powder-coat finish on the superstructure. Dual hydraulic cylinders with 1.25" roller axles. Independent backup slack-cable safety latches on each column.

FAQ
What is the total lifting capacity?
18,000 lb total with 6,000 lb per platform. Each of the three platforms can lift a car, light truck, motorcycle, or ATV up to 6,000 lb independently.
Do all three platforms move together?
No. Each platform operates independently, so you can raise or lower any vehicle without moving the others. This is a key advantage over designs where all platforms are linked.
Why is there only one locking position?
The single-position lock at maximum rise (89") is the safest storage configuration. At full height, the platform and hydraulic system remain secure even if hydraulic hose or cable failure occurs. This design prioritizes long-term vehicle storage safety.
What ceiling height do I need?
The structure is 123.75" tall (about 10'4"). Add your vehicle height when raised to determine total ceiling clearance needed. For example, a 60" tall car raised 89" needs approximately 150" (12.5') of ceiling height.
What floor space is required?
The lift footprint is 308" wide x 236.5" long (approximately 25.7' x 19.7'). Plan additional space around the perimeter for vehicle entry, exit, and walking access.
Why choose a triple-wide over three separate lifts?
The triple-wide design is more space-efficient and cost-effective than three separate lifts. The four-column structure eliminates posts between bays, making vehicle access easier. One power unit and hydraulic system also means simpler installation and maintenance.
What power options are available?
Standard motor is 220 VAC / 60 Hz / 1 Ph. 110V is also available. International voltages available on request for overseas installations.
Is this a special order item?
Yes. The PL-6KT is a special order item. Contact us for current lead time and pricing.
What vehicles fit on the platforms?
Each 82" x 152" platform accommodates cars, light trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and ATVs up to 6,000 lb. Drive-thru clearance is 93" wide. Verify your specific vehicle dimensions against the platform specs.
How are the platforms protected from corrosion?
All three platforms are galvanized steel, which resists oil, weather, and abuse for lifetime durability. The superstructure has a powder-coat finish.
