GrandPrix GP-9LC Two-Post Lift: Who It's For

  • Home Garage Owners: The 109.5 in height fits standard residential ceilings where most two-post lifts won't work. DIY maintenance, restorations, enthusiast projects.

GP-9LC Two-Post Lift Features

Floorplate Design for Low Ceilings

No overhead crossbar. The 109.5 in overall height, 127.5 in outside column width, and 103 in drive-through clearance fit garages with 9-10 ft ceilings where standard two-post lifts won't work.

The 1.25 in driveover height keeps entry easy for low-clearance vehicles. Full undercarriage access without structural modifications to your garage.

Triple-Telescoping Front Arms, Dual-Stage Rear Arms

Front arms extend 22.5 to 43.25 in in three stages. Rear arms reach 33.5 to 53.25 in. Handles sports cars, sedans, SUVs, and full-size trucks without swapping adapters.

Double-telescoping screw pads with 2 in adjustment and tear-resistant polyurethane pads. Included 4-piece 63mm stackable adapter set extends max height to 76.5-78.5 in.

Automatic Safety Locks with Single-Pull Release

Safety locks engage automatically every 3 inches as the lift rises. No manual engagement. Single-pull lanyards on each carriage release the locks when lowering.

Automatic arm restraints secure arms in place when raised, preventing movement during service.

6x6 in Tubular Steel Construction

6 x 6 in tubular steel carriages with 20.5 x 15.5 in base plates for even weight distribution. Self-lubricating UHMW polyethylene guide blocks for smooth carriage travel.

Full-size rubber carriage guards prevent door dings. Electric-hydraulic power system runs on 220V single-phase.

Chain-Over Design with Industrial-Grade Components

Industrial-grade leaf chain manufactured to ANSI standards. Maintains integrity under high stress and repeated cycles, unlike systems that stretch over time.

Oversized rollers with Zerk grease fittings for easy maintenance. 1/2 in aircraft-quality equalizer cables over oversized sheaves reduce fatigue.

Symmetric and Asymmetric Arm Positioning

Both symmetric and asymmetric configurations. Each arm adjusts independently. 2,250 lb max load per arm.

Works with front-engine RWD, FWD with offset weight, and SUVs with varied suspension geometry.

About the Brand

BendPak

BendPak describes their development process as involving extensive testing, pushing equipment beyond rated limits to understand failure modes and safety margins. Forty years of building lifts means forty years of test data, field feedback, and refinement. They learn how components wear over thousands of cycles, where fatigue concentrates, which parts hold up. This knowledge feeds into design improvements that make each generation better. When a manufacturer claims to exceed safety standards, test culture is what backs that claim up.
