Since 1984, BendPak has been synonymous with reliability and high performance in the automotive service industry, particularly when it comes to Four Post Car Lifts. For decades, professionals around the globe have placed their trust – and vehicles – on BendPak’s robust equipment. While automotive technology has evolved significantly, BendPak’s core commitment to quality and user safety in every four post lift remains unwavering.
BendPak four post lifts are engineered to handle a diverse range of lifting tasks. With lifting capacities spanning from 7,000 lbs for lighter vehicles to a hefty 40,000 lbs for heavy-duty applications, BendPak offers solutions for virtually any vehicle. Beyond standard vehicle lifting, these automotive lifts are also excellent for maximizing space, serving as convenient parking and storage solutions. Imagine securely storing your prized weekend car elevated on a BendPak lift, while freeing up garage space underneath for your daily driver. Many BendPak four post lift models offer a variety of configurations, including super-tall, wide, narrow, and space-saving designs, ensuring you can find the ideal four post car lift tailored to your specific workshop or garage dimensions and requirements.
BendPak’s legacy is built on 50 years of unwavering commitment to excellence, forging a reputation that’s as solid as their lifts. The four post car lift lineup is a source of pride for BendPak, and owners can expect the same level of satisfaction. To further enhance functionality, a comprehensive suite of accessories and options are available, including rolling bridge jacks, essential for complete wheel service capabilities.
Safety and compliance are paramount. BendPak lifts are delivered with detailed installation instructions and concrete fasteners that adhere to the rigorous standards set by the American National Standard “Automotive Lifts – Safety Requirements for Construction, Testing, and Validation” ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2017. It is important for lift purchasers to be aware of and address any specific regional structural and/or seismic anchoring regulations mandated by local agencies or building codes like the Uniform Building Code (UBC) or International Building Code (IBC).
The Innovative Hydraulic System Behind BendPak Four Post Car Lifts
A key feature distinguishing BendPak four post car lifts is the innovative design incorporating a single, concealed hydraulic cylinder in each lift. This unique approach not only contributes to the lift’s streamlined aesthetic but also enhances its operational efficiency. By positioning the hydraulic cylinder beneath a drive-on ramp, BendPak protects this critical component, minimizing exposure and maximizing the lift’s lifespan. This advanced, leak-proof cylinder technology is a hallmark of BendPak’s four post lift engineering.
Each BendPak car lift features an industrial-grade hydraulic cylinder, strategically hidden beneath the runway to ensure maximum reliability and minimal exposure to potential damage. These cylinders are constructed with a single-piece, pilot-fitted, machined steel piston, enhanced with pressure-loaded U-cup piston seals, backups, and wear bands to virtually eliminate any fluid bypass. The micro-smooth chrome rod, crafted from high-yield, ground and polished C-1045/50 micro-alloy steel and plated to a minimum thickness, guarantees exceptional cylinder performance and longevity. Superior, high-durometer, mechanically-loaded rod seals effectively prevent rod leakage, while an abrasion-resistant urethane rod wiper provides crucial exclusion protection. The robust, welded cylinder body is manufactured from heavy-duty steel tubing exceeding ASTM specifications. This combination of premium materials and meticulous engineering ensures that BendPak cylinders remain straight, operate smoothly, and deliver an exceptionally long service life. For added safety, an integrated flow restrictor provides controlled descent in the event of an unexpected hose rupture.
For further technical information and support, BendPak provides comprehensive Technical Service Bulletins (TSB), offering recommended procedures for equipment repair and maintenance. These TSBs are issued to address any unforeseen issues or service requirements.
Important Note: While BendPak adheres to stringent safety standards, it’s important to note that not all BendPak lift models may meet ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2017 or ANSI/UL 201 standards. For a complete list of certified models, please consult www.autolift.org or contact BendPak directly for clarification via email.
BendPak four post lifts are supplied with concrete fasteners that meet ANSI/ALI ALCTV-(Current) standards. However, buyers are responsible for ensuring compliance with all regional structural or seismic anchoring requirements as mandated by local building codes such as UBC or IBC.
