Description
Raise commercial vehicles with Bendpak 10APX-181 Pro Series lifting hardware when high-roof vans and heavy service vehicles exceed ordinary shop access. Experienced automotive technicians gain 10,000-lb two-post lifting capacity beneath a 181-inch overhead beam, but can the lift remain stable when arm positioning, adapters, and safety locks are not correctly set? Its powder-coated steel structure, galvanized equalizing cable, UHMW polyethylene bearings, and direct-drive hydraulic system support vehicle service when installed on a suitable foundation.
Model 5175649 includes dual hydraulic direct-drive cylinders, expandable top beam, Bi-Metric arms, tall carriages, double-telescoping screw pads, automatic arm restraints, safety locks spaced every 3 inches, and a padded overhead shutoff bar. The lift uses a 3/8-inch high-strength multi-strand galvanized equalizing cable, four triple-telescoping arms, and an electric-hydraulic HVLP power system. The package includes the lift, WSA-100 workstation, four frame cradle pads, medium adapters, and tall adapters.
Features of Bendpak Two-Post
Automotive repair shops, fleet service centers, commercial vehicle garages, and high-roof van specialists need a two-post lift with tall clearance and adaptable arm positioning. Trained lift operators can use this BendPak Pro Series system when the concrete foundation, adapters, locks, cables, and vehicle contact points meet installation requirements.
- 10,000-lb capacity supports compatible passenger vehicles, trucks, vans, and commercial service vehicles.
- 181-inch overhead beam provides clearance for high-roof cargo vans and elevated shop work.
- Dual direct-drive hydraulic cylinders raise the vehicle through synchronized column movement.
- Bi-Metric arms support versatile adapter and contact-point positioning.
- Automatic arm restraints help resist unintended arm movement under side force.
- Safety locks engage at 3-inch spacing along each column.
- Galvanized equalizing cable supports synchronized carriage movement and corrosion resistance.
- Tall adapters support vehicle contact points requiring additional lifting clearance.
Load Test Safety Control
No independent proof-load result, column-deflection test, hydraulic pressure measurement, cable fatigue test, lock-holding telemetry, or vehicle-specific compatibility test was supplied. Do not treat 10,000 lbs as a proof load or exceed the manufacturer’s vehicle-placement limits. Uneven pad contact, incorrect adapters, damaged cables, poor foundation conditions, and unlocked arms can create dangerous load transfer through the columns and vehicle frame.
Vehicle Service Limits
The expandable top beam, tall adapters, Bi-Metric arms, hydraulic cylinders, carriage locks, and equalizing cable support professional vehicle lifting. This two-post lift is not verified for personnel lifting, unstable foundations, unapproved adapters, unbalanced vehicles, or service beneath a vehicle without fully engaged mechanical locks.
- Inspect equalizing cables, sheaves, arms, adapters, locks, pads, and hydraulic components before use.
- Confirm vehicle center of gravity, adapter contact, arm restraint, and lock engagement before raising.
- Lubricate specified bearing surfaces and remove the lift from service after abnormal descent or cable damage.
