BendPak HD-973PX 9,000 & 7,000 Lb. Capacity Tri-Level Parking Lift – Extended / High Lift

Product Overview

BendPak HD-973PX 9,000 & 7,000 Lb. Capacity Tri-Level Parking Lift – Extended / High Lift

The Ultimate Extended, High-Rise Triple-Decker Parking Solution

Triple your parking capacity without expanding your footprint. The BendPak HD-973PX is a cutting-edge tri-level parking lift engineered to accommodate up to three vehicles in a single footprint—perfect for maximizing space in both commercial facilities and upscale home garages. With its extended length and high-rise design, the HD-973PX delivers an impressive 156.5" maximum lifting height on the top platform and 87" on the bottom deck, offering ample clearance for today's larger trucks, SUVs, and full-size vehicles. The top platform handles up to 7,000 lbs., while the lower deck boasts a robust 9,000 lb. capacity, ensuring you can stack your heaviest vehicles with complete confidence.

What sets the HD-973PX apart is its independently operated lifting platforms. Unlike traditional multi-level stackers where platforms move together, this innovative design lets you raise or lower either the top or bottom platform individually. That means you can swap out a vehicle on the lower level without disturbing the car parked above—or vice versa—saving time and maximizing operational flexibility. Whether you're running a professional shop, managing a dealership, or simply want smart parking at home, the HD-973PX delivers unparalleled versatility, rock-solid safety, and a small footprint that fits comfortably in spaces where other tri-level lifts simply won't.

Extended Length, Extra Height, Maximum Flexibility

The HD-973PX takes everything great about BendPak's standard HD-973P tri-level parking lift and extends it—literally. With an additional 12 inches of overall height compared to the standard model and 208.5" runway length, the HD-973PX provides the extra room required for today's longer trucks and taller SUVs. Despite this added capacity, the lift is engineered to fit comfortably in most residential and commercial garages with ceiling heights around 170 inches or more. This rugged design is equally suitable for indoor or outdoor installations, instantly tripling your parking and storage capability while maintaining a sleek, professional appearance.

Designed with dual 220V / 1-phase electric-hydraulic power systems, the HD-973PX operates each platform independently, delivering fast, reliable lifting. The top platform raises to its maximum height in just 90 seconds, and the bottom deck reaches full rise in only 50 seconds. With multi-position safety locks spaced every 4 inches and a total of 34 locking positions on the top deck and 16 on the bottom deck, you can park vehicles at nearly any height configuration that suits your needs. This level of customization is unmatched in the industry, allowing varied vehicle sizes and parking arrangements on the same lift.

Proprietary Independent Platform Design

Most tri-level car stackers feature a bottom platform suspended from the top via chains or cables, forcing both platforms to move simultaneously. This tethered operation limits spacing options and flexibility. The HD-973PX breaks the mold with its patent-pending independent platform system. Each deck operates on its own dedicated hydraulic cylinder and cable system, giving you complete control over positioning.

This means you can lower the bottom platform to retrieve or park a vehicle without lowering the top platform—or vice versa. Practically speaking, if you only need to move the second-level vehicle, the top car stays put. This not only saves time but also reduces wear on the system and provides a safer, more efficient workflow. The independent operation also permits varied vehicle heights on either deck, so you can store a compact car on one level and a lifted truck on the other without compromise.

Unmatched Safety and Redundant Protection

Safety is paramount when stacking vehicles, and the BendPak HD-973PX delivers industry-leading protection at every level. Each platform features multi-position automatic safety locks that engage every 4 inches, providing nearly unlimited parking height arrangements and ensuring your vehicles remain secure at any position. These locks are backed by redundant, spring-loaded anti-fall safety catches that immediately halt downward movement in the unlikely event of cable failure.

Additional safety features include independent backup slack-cable safety latches, an integrated hydraulic flow restrictor for controlled descent in the event of a hose rupture, and push-button pneumatic safety release for easy, safe unlocking. A padded trip bar with limit switch prevents the lower vehicle from making contact with the upper platform during operation. With adjustable lock ladders and heavy-duty 3/8" lifting cables paired with powerful hydraulic cylinders, the HD-973PX is engineered to exceed expectations for reliability and peace of mind.

Rugged Construction Built to Last

Crafted from heavy-duty welded-steel construction, the HD-973PX superstructure features a durable powder coat finish that resists rust and corrosion, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations. The platforms are outfitted with full-length aluminum decking that provides a non-skid surface for secure vehicle placement and easy cleanup. Wide base-plates distribute the load evenly for maximum stability, allowing installation on virtually any residential or commercial concrete floor—or even on asphalt when equipped with concrete footers.

Every sheave and sheave axle includes grease nipples for straightforward lubrication maintenance, ensuring long-term performance with minimal upkeep. The reliable electric-hydraulic power system and simple push-button controls make operation intuitive, while the rugged design cycles through vehicles quickly and safely, saving you time and worry. The lift's 19" wide runways with 86.5" drive-thru clearance accommodate a wide range of vehicle widths, from compact sedans to full-size trucks.

Smart Design, Lower Cost, Superior Value

High-rise tri-level parking lifts typically command premium prices due to the sheer amount of steel and engineering involved. The HD-973PX changes the equation with its smart, efficient design that uses less steel without sacrificing strength or safety. This translates to thousands of dollars in savings for you while still upholding the industry's most rigid safety standards and delivering all the performance you expect from a BendPak product.

The lift's compact footprint and weight-distributing base frames make it suitable for installation in tight spaces, and it can be configured as a stand-alone unit or combined into rows of multiple lifts for maximum parking efficiency. Optional drive-thru ramps and optional 4,500-lb. air-hydraulic rolling jacks allow further customization to suit your specific needs. Whether you're adding parking capacity to a professional shop, dealership showroom, or luxury home garage, the HD-973PX delivers unmatched value and performance.

Who Should Choose the HD-973PX?

The BendPak HD-973PX is the ideal choice for anyone who needs to stack three vehicles in a limited space while maintaining the flexibility to vary parking heights on each deck. It's perfect for:

• Professional automotive shops and service centers looking to maximize floor space and add efficient vehicle storage and service capability.

• Car dealerships and showrooms seeking a sleek, high-capacity parking solution for inventory management and display.

• Luxury home garages and car collectors who want to showcase and protect their collection without building additional garage space.

• Commercial parking facilities and valet services that require fast, safe, and reliable multi-level parking operations.

• Residential properties with limited garage space looking to maximize vehicle storage without construction or expansion.

If you regularly park larger vehicles like modern SUVs, trucks, or full-size sedans, the extended length and high-rise capabilities of the HD-973PX ensure you'll have the clearance and capacity you need. With a 252.25" overall length and 169.75" column height, this lift accommodates vehicles that simply won't fit on standard tri-level models.

Key Highlights at a Glance

• Extended multi-level parking lift with independent platform operation—raise or lower each deck separately for unmatched flexibility

• 7,000 lb. capacity upper deck with 156.5" maximum lifting height accommodates taller vehicles with ease

• 9,000 lb. capacity lower deck with 87" maximum rise handles heavy trucks and SUVs safely and securely

• 208.5" runway length and 100" distance between columns provides extra room for longer wheelbases

• 34 locking positions on top platform, 16 on bottom spaced every 4 inches customize parking height to fit any vehicle combination

Versatile Applications: Parking, Storage, and Service

The HD-973PX isn't just a parking lift—it's a multi-purpose solution. Use it to triple your parking capacity in residential or commercial settings, create secure long-term storage for collectible or seasonal vehicles, or even perform light service work on the lower platform while keeping inventory safely stored above. The independent platform design means you can use the lift in ways that traditional stackers simply can't match.

For professional shops, the ability to store client vehicles overhead while keeping your service bay floor clear is a game-changer. For collectors, it means you can rotate your collection easily without moving every car. And for dealerships, it offers flexible showroom and lot management that keeps high-value inventory safe and accessible. With the HD-973PX, the possibilities are nearly endless.

Installation and Operation

Installation of the HD-973PX is straightforward for experienced lift installers. The lift ships with concrete fasteners that meet ANSI/ALI ALCTV standards, and installation can be completed on most concrete floors. The lift requires a 220V / 60 Hz / 1-phase electrical connection for both platforms. An air supply (minimum 30 psi / 3 CFM) may be required for the safety-lock mechanisms to disengage—consult the installation manual for complete details. The buyer is responsible for providing, installing, and maintaining the air supply.

Operation is simple: use the intuitive push-button controls to raise or lower each platform independently. The automatic safety locks engage as the platform rises, and the push-button pneumatic release allows smooth, safe unlocking when lowering. The padded trip bar ensures the lower vehicle never contacts the upper platform, and the integrated hydraulic flow restrictor provides peace of mind in the event of a hydraulic hose failure. Routine maintenance is minimal—simply lubricate the grease nipples on the sheaves and sheave axles as recommended in the owner's manual.

Capacity and Wheelbase Requirements

The HD-973PX is designed to accommodate a wide range of vehicle sizes, but it's important to understand how wheelbase affects lifting capacity. The lift supports its full rated capacity when the vehicle's wheelbase meets the minimum requirements. For shorter wheelbases, the lift supports a reduced percentage of its rated capacity, because the vehicle's weight is concentrated closer to the center of the runways where there is less structural support.

On the top platform (7,000 lb. capacity), the minimum wheelbase at full capacity is 140". At 75% capacity (5,250 lbs.), the minimum wheelbase is 120". At 50% capacity (3,500 lbs.), it's 100", and at 25% capacity (1,750 lbs.), it's 80". On the bottom platform (9,000 lb. capacity), the minimum wheelbase at full capacity is 135". At 75% capacity (6,750 lbs.), the minimum is 115". At 50% capacity (4,500 lbs.), it's 95", and at 25% capacity (2,250 lbs.), it's 75". Always verify your vehicle's wheelbase and weight before operation to ensure safe lifting.

Industry Standards and Certifications

The buyer is responsible for all charges relating to any special regional structural or seismic anchoring requirements specified by other agencies or codes, such as the Uniform Building Code (UBC) or International Building Code (IBC). Always consult local building codes and a qualified installer to ensure compliance with your jurisdiction's requirements.

1 The Lift supports less weight than its rated capacity when the vehicle’s wheelbase is shorter; this is because the wheels of such a vehicle are closer to the middle of the Runways, where there is less strength. For example, the maximum weight allowed on the Lift for a vehicle with a wheelbase of 95" is 50 percent of the Lift’s rated capacity (or 3,500 lbs. when the rated capacity is 7,000 lbs.).

Note: An air supply (minimum: 30 psi / 3 CFM) is may be required for the safety-lock mechanisms to disengage. It is solely the responsibility of the end-user to provide, install and maintain the air supply.
