Bendpak 12APX 12000 Lbs High-Rise Clearfloor Two-Post Car Lift with Pads

Description

Command heavy fleet truck maintenance with high-rise carriage clearance and clearfloor drive-through versatility. The Bendpak 12APX 12000 Lbs High-Rise two-post car lift raises loaded cargo vans and work trucks up to 82 inches. It handles tall technicians with comfort, though shop ceilings under 15 feet block overhead crossbeam installation in commercial bays.

Bendpak fabricates the vertical columns from single-piece 0.25-inch high-tensile structural steel, reinforced by oversized floor baseplates and boxed arm carriages. Dual direct-drive hydraulic cylinders eliminate lifting chains, driven by an electric-hydraulic power unit at 2400 PSI. Multi-stage Bi-Metric arms configure for symmetric or asymmetric vehicle spotting. Total lift height reaches 82 inches within 55 seconds, establishing 2550 lbs total equipment tare weight on the concrete floor.
