Product Overview
BendPak 10AP-168 Adaptable Clearfloor Adj-Width Ex-Tall ALI 2 Post Lift 10,000 lb.
Auto repair shops working on today's most advanced vehicles need equipment that keeps pace with evolving technology. The BendPak 10AP-168 represents a revolutionary advancement in two-post lift engineering, combining the best qualities of modern lift designs into a completely new concept. With a robust 10,000 lb. lifting capacity, an extra-tall 168" overall height, and an adjustable width top beam (135" or 145" wide), this ALI-certified clear-floor lift is purposefully designed for extreme use, high loads, and maximum operator safety and efficiency.
The 10AP-168 offers unmatched versatility wrapped into one configurable package. Its expandable top beam accommodates wide or narrow drive-thru installations ( 97.5" or 107.5" drive-thru clearance ), while exclusive Bi-Metric™ swing arms let you switch between symmetric and asymmetric lifting configurations without changing arms. This innovative design keeps service and maintenance costs to a minimum, delivering lower operating expenses and higher productivity for professional shops and enthusiasts alike.
A New Paradigm in Lifting Performance
BendPak's all-new AP series 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. The 10AP-168 is engineered for shops that demand reliability, safety, and flexibility when servicing a diverse range of vehicles—from compact cars to full-size trucks and SUVs. With an impressive 82.5" maximum rise (with pad and adapter) and a super-low 4" minimum pad height, this lift tackles virtually every lifting scenario with ease.
The durable powder coat finish ensures long-lasting protection against shop environments, while the oversized 53" and 59" tall carriages provide superior strength and durability. This lift is built to last and designed to work harder than any two-post lift you've used before.
Revolutionary Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System (ASARS)
Traditional swing arm restraints have served their purpose, but BendPak takes safety to an entirely new level with the patented Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System (ASARS). This adaptive system stands strong against the forces exerted when vehicles unexpectedly shift during loading or service, providing over 2,000 pounds of side load-holding force. The heavily forged-steel design delivers a 360-degree grip that ensures arms stay firmly in place, minimizing unplanned swing arm movement and dramatically increasing operator safety.
A quick-release operator lever guarantees precise and secure control, allowing technicians to adjust arm positions confidently and efficiently. This is safety engineering at its finest, and it's exclusive to BendPak's AP series.
Triple-Telescoping Arm Design for Maximum Reach and Retraction
The innovative three-stage triple-telescoping arms achieve more movement than conventional two-post lift arms thanks to a 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—even beyond the arm pin—resulting in more achievable retraction and extension than ever before.
Front arms extend from 24.5" minimum to 50" maximum reach, while rear arms stretch from 32" to 59.25", giving you unparalleled flexibility when positioning vehicles. Each arm safely supports up to 2,500 lbs., and double-telescoping screw pads offer 2" of fine-tuned vertical adjustment for perfect contact with vehicle lift points.
Exclusive Low-Pro™ Arms and Drop-End Design
BendPak's exclusive Low-Pro™ swing arms are engineered for ultimate versatility, especially when servicing lowered chassis-height vehicles or those with challenging lift points. The drop-end arm design lowers the pad receiver, providing easy access to low-profile vehicles while minimizing the risk of damage to side skirts, running boards, and ground effects.
The system is accompanied by height-stackable adapters and two-stage spin-up screw pads for superior vertical pad placement and secure vehicle support. Achieve impeccable lifting alignment with double-telescoping screw adapters featuring durable polyurethane pads that resist gouges and tears. Optional 2.5" and 5" stackable adapters enhance vertical pad placement for precise, secure support, and column-mounted adapter racks keep your adapters organized and within easy reach.
Patented Automatic 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. Each column features safety locks spaced every 3 inches, providing secure holding at virtually any lift height.
An ergonomic single-point safety release allows operators to effortlessly release the safety locks during lift descent with the push of a single finger. It's that easy. The padded overhead safety shutoff bar adds another layer of protection, automatically stopping lift ascent if an obstruction is detected.
Bi-Metric™ Adaptable Swing Arms: Symmetric or Asymmetric, Your Choice
Exclusive Bi-Metric™ adaptable swing arms give users the ability to set their lift up in either symmetric or asymmetric configurations without swapping arms. This 2-in-1 design allows operators to load vehicles symmetrically (centerline of vehicle at column) or asymmetrically (centerline of vehicle behind column), depending on the vehicle type and lifting preference.
By not having to switch out arms, you'll be able to service vehicles faster than ever before. This flexibility is invaluable for shops working on everything from compact sedans to extended-cab pickups and full-size SUVs.
Powerful, Efficient, and Quiet Operation
The 10AP-168 features dual hydraulic direct-drive cylinders powered by an electric/hydraulic HVLP (High Volume, Low Pressure) power system. This advanced system delivers fast, smooth lifting—reaching full rise in approximately 45 seconds while operating at less than 70 dB, ensuring a quieter shop environment.
The lift runs on 220V / 60 Hz / 1-Phase power, making it compatible with most shop electrical systems. A 3/8" (10mm) high-strength multi-strand galvanized steel equalizing cable with oversized cable sheaves ensures even lifting on both sides of the vehicle while reducing cable fatigue and extending service life.
The self-lubricating Dura-Glide™ UHMW polyethylene bearing system ensures smooth, maintenance-free carriage movement year after year, reducing downtime and keeping your lift operating at peak performance.
