Product Overview
BendPak 10AP Adaptable Clearfloor ALI 2 Post Car Lift 10,000 lb. Capacity
A New Paradigm in Automotive Lifting
Auto repair shops working on the latest technology need to be equipped with the most advanced tools to service them properly — they need to evolve alongside the vehicles they service. BendPak's 10AP Series represents a revolutionary design that factors the best qualities of today's two-post lift types into a completely new concept in car lift engineering. The result is a lift unlike any other two-post on the market, purposefully designed for extreme use, high loads, and operator safety and efficiency.
The BendPak 10AP offers the convenience of wide or narrow installation wrapped into one configurable package. With a 10,000 lb. capacity, this durable, safe, and reliable ALI-certified car lift features an expandable top beam and exclusive Bi-Metric™ swing arms to suit virtually every vehicle lifting requirement — symmetric or asymmetric. The simple, yet highly sophisticated lift design keeps service and maintenance costs to a minimum, delivering lower operating expenses and higher productivity.
Available in four models 10AP, 10AP-168, 10APX, and 10APX-181 with varying overhead heights to fit your shop configuration, this adaptable clearfloor lift system is built for professionals who demand precision, flexibility, and long-term reliability.
Automatic Arm Restraint System (AARS) — Prevents Unplanned Movement
Swing arm restraints have been used for decades on two-post lifts to minimize the chance of arms shifting during vehicle loading and service. However, until now, these systems had difficulty withstanding the excessive forces applied when vehicles suddenly and unexpectedly shifted on support pads or adapters — typically due to improper loading or when heavy drivetrain components are added or removed from elevated vehicles, causing an unanticipated transference in the center of balance.
With a full 360-degrees of load-holding grip, the heavily forged-steel design of this patented and exclusive arm restraint system secures the lift arms firmly in place with over 2,000-pounds of load-holding force, preventing unplanned swing arm movement during lift use and vehicle service operations. This revolutionary design is an adaptive system that requires minimal operator involvement and delivers unparalleled holding power. A distinctive power-hold design allows for precise non-shifting action, and a handy quick-release operator lever allows for the instant release of clamping pressure.
Triple-Telescoping Nested Swing Arm Design
Revolutionary and patented swing arms are specifically tailored for varying vehicle lifting points. Unlike traditional two-post lift arms, 10AP arms retract shorter and extend farther, offering lift operators a myriad of lift arm positioning options — it's like having the best of all worlds.
The innovative three-stage arms achieve more telescoping movement due to their patented nesting feature that results in greater retraction and farther reach. Inner sliding arm movement is no longer impeded by arm end plates, tube closeouts, or even the arm pivot pin itself. The inner tubes retract fully through the back of the arm assembly and even beyond the arm pin, resulting in more achievable retraction and extension.
Front arm reach: extends from 24.5" minimum to 50" maximum. Rear arm reach: extends from 32" minimum to 59.25" maximum. Maximum load per arm is 2,500 lbs, ensuring safe and balanced lifting for a wide variety of vehicles.
Low Profile Drop-End Arms
BendPak's exclusive Low-Pro™ swing arms feature telescoping channels that have a shorter profile and a dropped-end pad receiver, resulting in better serviceability on lowered chassis-height vehicles. They access hard-to-reach lift points with less hindrance, providing increased versatility and less chance of damage to vehicle side skirts, running boards, or ground effects. The minimum pad height is just 4", making this lift ideal for low-clearance and performance vehicles.
Varying height stackable adapters combined with two-stage spin-up screw pads provide greater vertical pad placement for precise and safe vehicle support.
Double-Telescoping Screw Pads & Stackable Adapters
Double-telescoping screw adapters feature gouge and tear-resistant polyurethane pads that can be screwed up or down ( 2" adjustment ) to ensure level lifting in all conditions. This provides more precise and secure frame engagement, ensuring technician safety.
The optional 2.5" and 5" stackable adapters (included with the lift: 4-piece screw pads and adapter holders ) provide greater vertical pad placement for precise and safe vehicle support. The 63 mm adapter can provide additional rise height when needed. The drop-in design allows for quick and easy use, and two column-mounted racks keep the adapters neatly organized and secure.
Innovative Patented Safety Lock System
The patented automatic safety lock system is designed to dramatically improve operator efficiency and safety. The simple yet innovative design ensures automatic safety lock engagement during all lift rising operations. Safety locks are positioned in each column and spaced every 3 inches for precise engagement at any height.
An ergonomic single-point safety release allows operators to effortlessly release the safety locks during lift descent — literally with a push of a single finger. It's that easy.
Bi-Metric™ Adaptable Swing Arms — Two Configurations in One
Exclusive Bi-Metric™ adaptable swing arms give users the ability to set their lift up in either symmetric or asymmetric configurations. The 2-in-1 design gives operators the option of loading vehicles either symmetrically (centerline of vehicle at column) or asymmetrically (centerline of vehicle behind column). By not having to switch out arms, you'll be able to service vehicles faster than ever before.
This innovative flexibility makes the 10AP Series ideal for shops that service a diverse range of vehicles, from compact cars to full-size trucks and SUVs.
Adjustable Width for Wide or Narrow Installations
The 10AP Series features an expandable top beam that accommodates wide or narrow drive-thru configurations. The overall width can be set to either 135" or 145", with inside column spacing of 108.5" or 118.5", and drive-thru clearance of 97.5" or 107.5".
This adjustable-width design allows you to configure the lift to fit your shop layout and the types of vehicles you service most frequently, maximizing space efficiency and operational flexibility.
