For decades, BendPak has been synonymous with trust and innovation in the automotive service industry. Since introducing our high-capacity four-post lifts in 1984, the BendPak name has been a beacon of reliability for professionals who dedicate their careers to working under vehicles raised by our equipment. While automotive technology has evolved significantly since our early days, BendPak’s unwavering commitment to quality and the end-user remains steadfast in every hydraulic car ramp and lift we manufacture.
BendPak lifts are meticulously engineered to tackle any lifting challenge, offering a wide spectrum of lift capacities from 7,000 lbs for lighter vehicles to a robust 40,000 lbs for heavy-duty tasks. If it has wheels, chances are a BendPak four-post lift, equipped with advanced Hydraulic Car Ramps, can handle it. Beyond their primary function, these automotive lifts serve as ingenious parking and storage solutions. Imagine securely storing your prized weekend car elevated on the lift, while conveniently parking your daily driver underneath – maximizing space and adding versatility to your garage or shop. Many BendPak four-post lift models come with customizable options, including super-tall, wide, narrow, space-saving, and regular configurations, ensuring you discover the perfect hydraulic car ramp system tailored to your precise needs.
Backed by 50 years of industry-leading expertise and a reputation as solid as the lifts themselves, BendPak’s four-post car lifts, featuring superior hydraulic car ramps, stand in a class of their own. We take immense pride in our four-post car lift lineup, and we are confident you will too. To further enhance functionality, a comprehensive range of accessories and options are available, such as rolling bridge jacks, ideal for comprehensive wheel service and maximizing the utility of your hydraulic car ramps and lift system.
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 the responsibility of the lift purchaser to ensure compliance with any specific regional structural and/or seismic anchoring requirements mandated by local agencies and building codes like the Uniform Building Code (UBC) and/or International Building Code (IBC).
The Ingenious Single, Hidden Hydraulic Cylinder System in BendPak Four-Post Lifts
A key element that distinguishes BendPak four-post car lifts, and their exceptional hydraulic car ramps, is the ingenious concealment of vital components. To maintain the lift’s streamlined appearance and operational efficiency, we have strategically placed the hydraulic cylinder beneath one of the drive-on ramps. This innovative, leak-proof cylinder technology is an exclusive feature of BendPak four-post lifts, ensuring smooth and reliable operation of your hydraulic car ramps and the entire lift system.

Each BendPak car lift is engineered with a single, heavy-duty hydraulic cylinder discreetly positioned under the runway. This design minimizes exposure to potential damage and maximizes long-term, reliable performance of the hydraulic car ramps and lifting mechanism. Our industrial-grade hydraulic cylinders are built with a single-piece, pilot-fitted, machined steel piston. This piston is encased in custom-designed, pressure-loaded U-cup piston seals, along with backups and wear bands. This sophisticated configuration virtually eliminates fluid bypass, ensuring consistent and powerful operation of the hydraulic car ramps and lift.
The micro-smooth chrome rod is meticulously crafted from high-yield, ground and polished C-1045/50 micro-alloy steel and plated to a minimum diameter of .001″. This precise engineering guarantees superior cylinder performance and extended lifespan, contributing to the overall durability of the hydraulic car ramps and lift. Superior, high-durometer, mechanically-loaded rod seals effectively prevent rod leakage, while a specially formulated abrasion-resistant urethane rod wiper provides crucial exclusion protection, maintaining the integrity of the hydraulic system for the car ramps. The robust welded cylinder body is constructed from heavy-duty steel tubing that surpasses ASTM specifications. This combination of premium materials and advanced manufacturing processes ensures that the cylinders remain straight, smooth, and provide exceptionally long-lasting, reliable performance for your BendPak hydraulic car ramps and four-post lift. Furthermore, an integrated flow restrictor provides a controlled descent in the event of an unexpected hose rupture, adding an essential layer of safety to the hydraulic car ramps and lift operation.
Technical Service Bulletins
For optimal maintenance and repair procedures, BendPak provides Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). These bulletins offer recommended steps and procedures for servicing your equipment. BendPak issues a TSB when unforeseen issues or specific service requirements arise for our lifts and hydraulic car ramp systems, ensuring you have the necessary guidance for upkeep.
Note: It’s important to remember that not all BendPak lift models are certified to meet the stringent standards prescribed by ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2017 or ANSI/UL 201. For a comprehensive list of certified models, please consult www.autolift.org or contact BendPak directly at [email protected].
BendPak lifts are supplied with concrete fasteners that meet the American National Standard ANSI/ALI ALCTV-(Current) criteria. However, it is the buyer’s responsibility to cover all expenses associated with any special regional structural or seismic anchoring requirements mandated by other agencies or codes, such as the Uniform Building Code (UBC) or the International Building Code (IBC).
