View Original XPR-12CL Product Information & Specifications
BendPak XPR-12CL Two-Post Lift Overview
The XPR-12CL was a 12,000 lb capacity clearfloor two-post lift featuring Direct-Drive technology and triple-telescoping arms. The clearfloor design kept the work area unobstructed with no floor-mounted cross tubes, making it easy to position floor jacks, transmission jacks, and oil drains directly under lifted vehicles. It was built with top-of-the-line materials for servicing cars and trucks of various sizes.
XPR-12CL Key Features
Clearfloor Design
The clearfloor configuration eliminated floor-mounted cross tubes between the columns, providing unobstructed access underneath lifted vehicles. This made it easy to roll tool carts, transmission jacks, oil drains, and other equipment directly under the vehicle without repositioning.
Direct-Drive Technology
Pure Direct-Drive hydraulic performance delivered smooth, efficient lifting with fewer moving parts than chain or screw drive systems. This reduced maintenance requirements and provided reliable operation over the life of the lift.
Triple-Telescoping Arms
The triple-telescoping swing arms provided extended reach for accessing lift points on a wide variety of vehicles, from compact cars to full-size trucks and SUVs. The versatile arm design allowed precise positioning for secure, balanced lifting.
12,000 lb Capacity
The 12,000 lb lifting capacity handled passenger vehicles, light trucks, SUVs, and commercial vans. This made it a versatile choice for shops servicing a mixed fleet of vehicle types and sizes.
Premium Construction
Built with high-quality materials and BendPak's proven engineering, the XPR-12CL was designed for durability and long service life in demanding shop environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why was the XPR-12CL discontinued?
BendPak replaced the XPR series with the new AP Series, featuring significant safety and design improvements. The AP Series was developed specifically for heavier modern vehicles including EVs, with enhanced features like the Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System (ASARS™), Bi-Metric™ arms, and higher-tensile steel construction.
What is the direct replacement for the XPR-12CL?
The BendPak 12APX is the direct replacement. It maintains the same 12,000 lb capacity and clearfloor design while adding all AP Series features including ASARS™ automatic arm restraints, Bi-Metric™ arms for symmetric/asymmetric lifting, Low-Pro™ arms for sports cars, and EV-ready construction.
Are XPR-12CL replacement parts still available?
BendPak maintains parts support for discontinued models. Contact BendPak directly or an authorized dealer for replacement parts availability and pricing.
What are the main differences between the XPR-12CL and 12APX?
Key differences include:
- Height: 12APX has 169" overall height for more working room
- Arm System: Bi-Metric™ arms that work in both symmetric and asymmetric configurations without switching
- Low-Pro™ Arms: Designed for low-clearance sports cars and performance vehicles
- Safety: ASARS™ (Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System) with 2,000+ lbs of holding force and 360-degree grip
- Lock System: Patented automatic safety lock system for improved operator safety
- Construction: Higher-tensile steel designed for heavier EVs and modern vehicles
Is the XPR-12CL still covered under warranty?
Original warranty coverage applies based on purchase date. Contact BendPak with your lift's serial number for warranty status verification.
What's the difference between clearfloor and floorplate designs?
Clearfloor lifts (like XPR-12CL and 12APX) have an overhead beam connecting the columns with no obstructions on the floor between them. Floorplate/open-top lifts (like XPR-12FDL and 12APF) have hydraulic lines running under a floor cover with no overhead beam, allowing unrestricted vertical clearance for taller vehicles.
