BendPak introduces the 12APF open-top two-post lift.
BendPak states the innovative addition to the BendPak AP Series eliminates the overhead bar to deliver unencumbered lifting, even in shops with low ceilings.
“Low ceilings don’t have to limit the work a shop can perform,” says Sean Price, BendPak director of product development and quality. “We engineered the BendPak 12APF two-post lift to provide power, flexibility and reliability for servicing a wide range of vehicles in shops of all sizes.”
BendPak says the 12APF is designed with shortened columns to facilitate installation in low-clearance shops. Its extended rise delivers more than six feet of working area under the vehicle. All hydraulic and equalizer lines are protected beneath a durable steel floorplate that enables smooth movement of jacks, drain pans and other equipment in the bay, the company says.
The professional-grade 12APF can lift cars, trucks, SUVs and vans weighing up to 12,000 lb. It features BendPak’s exclusive Bi-Metric arm design that lets techs move easily between lifting asymmetrically and symmetrically on a single lift without changing arms.
BendPak says the patented triple-telescoping arms retract to a compact 26 in., and extend up to 60 in., to reach even far-flung OEM lifting points, while their dropped ends slide easily under low vehicles. Frame cradle pads, medium adapters and tall adapters come standard to accommodate trucks, vans and wider frame variations, the company says.
Like all BendPak AP Series lifts, the 12APF delivers peace of mind with an innovative safety lock system and fortified ASARS Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System.
The BendPak 12APF two-post lift has been independently tested by a Nationally Recognized Test Lab and is certified by the Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) to meet industry safety and performance standards. It is backed by the BendPak 5-2-1 Warranty that provides five years of coverage on the lift structure, two years on the hydraulic cylinder(s) and power unit, and one year on other components, labor, and freight charges.
