Charting a New Course in Automotive Lifting Technology
As modern auto repair shops strive to stay ahead of the technological curve, BendPak's all-new AP series of two-post lifts sets a groundbreaking standard in the industry. This series ingeniously melds the finest traits from contemporary two-post lift designs into an entirely original, cutting-edge engineering concept. The outcome is a lift that stands unparalleled in the market, meticulously crafted for rugged commercial use, heavy-duty loads, and unwavering operator safety and efficiency. Whether you're servicing modern electric vehicles, heavy-duty trucks, or high-performance sports cars, the 10APX-181 delivers the strength, precision, and versatility you need to handle any job with confidence.
Versatile Convenience in a Single, Customizable Package
The AP series brings forth the unmatched convenience of both wide and narrow installation options, all rolled into a single, fully customizable package. These lifts are not only remarkably sturdy and secure but also equipped with our advanced Bi-Metricâ„¢ swing arms, capable of seamlessly performing symmetric and asymmetric lifting without the need to switch out arm assemblies. This intelligent 2-in-1 design allows operators to load vehicles either symmetrically (centerline of vehicle aligned with column) or asymmetrically (centerline of vehicle positioned behind column), dramatically improving workflow efficiency. Combining simplicity with sophisticated engineering, this design ensures minimized service and maintenance expenses, delivering heightened productivity and lowered operating costs over the life of the lift.
New Technology for Increased Operator Safety in the Age of Electric Vehicles
The automotive industry has consistently embraced emerging technologies, reshaping the way vehicles operate and the demands placed on lifting equipment. With electric vehicles (EVs) gaining momentum and growing larger in size due to battery reinforcements, BendPak's engineers have developed the 10AP series with a laser focus on enhanced operator safety and performance. These lifts offer the ideal solution for efficiently servicing modern EVs, including trucks, vans, crossovers, and sports cars equipped with heavy battery packs. High tensile-strength steels, low-profile arms, and meticulously designed triple-telescoping swing arms reflect our unwavering commitment to safety-critical enhancements, empowering technicians to confidently tackle heavier EVs and oversized vehicles without compromise.
Empowering the Future of EV Service and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Maintenance
The rise of electric vehicles comes with an urgent demand for lifting solutions that can safely accommodate their increased weight and unique service requirements. BendPak's AP series addresses this need head-on. From reinforced construction using high tensile-strength steels to purposeful design features, these lifts are expertly engineered to match the increased weight of modern EVs, allowing for efficient service on trucks, cargo vans, SUVs, and more. The low-profile arms and expanded column spacing provide exceptional under-car access, while the sturdy triple-telescoping swing arms with greater movement offer precise lifting support for a wide variety of EV models and vehicle configurations. With a 10,000 lb. capacity and max load per arm of 2,500 lbs., the 10APX-181 is built to handle the heaviest loads with ease.
Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System (ASARS): Unmatched Stability and Safety
Traditional swing arm restraints have met their match in the AP series. A standout feature is the revolutionary Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System (ASARS), engineered to endure the elevated forces exerted during modern vehicle service. This patented system, constructed with heavily forged steel, locks lift arms securely in place with an impressive load-holding force of over 2,000 pounds. The result is unmatched stability and peace of mind, preventing unintended swing-arm movement during lift usage and vehicle service operations. Technicians can work confidently knowing their vehicle is safely secured throughout the entire service process.
Triple-Telescoping Nested Swing Arm Design: Maximum Reach and Retraction
Revolutionary and patented triple-telescoping swing arms are specifically tailored for varying vehicle lifting points and configurations. 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 in a single lift design.
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 arms reach a maximum of 50" and retract to a minimum of 24.5", while rear arms extend up to 59.25" and retract to 32", providing unparalleled versatility for any vehicle wheelbase or lift point configuration.
Low-Proâ„¢ Swing Arms: Enhanced Access for Lowered Vehicles and Hard-to-Reach Lift Points
BendPak's exclusive Low-Proâ„¢ 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, sports cars, and vehicles with ground effects. 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 combination of double-telescoping screw pads (offering 2" of vertical adjustment ) and optional stackable adapters (including a 63 mm adapter ) provide greater vertical pad placement for precise and safe vehicle support. With a minimum pad height of just 4", the 10APX-181 handles everything from lowered sports cars to lifted trucks with ease.
Customizable Precision with Screw Pads and Stackable Adapters
Experience flawless lifting alignment with double-telescoping screw adapters, fortified with resilient polyurethane pads. These adapters ensure level lifting in all conditions, enhancing technician safety and vehicle stability. The 10APX-181 includes a set of 4 standard adapters and offers optional 2.5" and 5" stackable adapters that further optimize vertical pad placement for secure vehicle support across a wide range of lift points and vehicle types.
Innovative Patented Safety Lock System: Effortless and Automatic Protection
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, and an ergonomic single-point release allows operators to effortlessly release the safety locks during lift descent—literally with a push of a single finger. It's that easy. Safety locks in each column are spaced every 3", providing numerous secure lock positions throughout the entire lifting range. Combined with a padded overhead safety shutoff bar, this system ensures maximum protection for both technicians and vehicles.
Bi-Metricâ„¢ Swing Arms: 2-in-1 Symmetric and Asymmetric Lifting
Exclusive Bi-Metricâ„¢ adaptable swing arms give users the ability to set their lift up in either symmetric or asymmetric configurations without having to switch out arm assemblies or make time-consuming adjustments. The innovative 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), opening up more door clearance for easier vehicle entry and exit. By not having to switch out arms, you'll be able to service vehicles faster than ever before, maximizing shop productivity and minimizing downtime.
