Lifting a Bus, Dump Truck or Truly Heavy Farm Equipment?

You may just need the HDS-18E, BendPak’s 18,000-lb. capacity four-post lift that also handles your low-rise sports cars and compacts. Aircraft-quality cables and a single hydraulic cylinder keep this car lift working for you day in and day out.

BendPak’s HDS-18E four-post lift is engineered to make light work out of heavy lifting. It’s built to last and features upgrades that increase safety, durability and productivity. This is the lift that graduates from the class of mid-size trucks, vans and SUVs up to heavy-duty applications. This is a professional truck lift that can even handle some industrial and farming equipment. It’s also lighter-duty than other lifts in the truck-weight category, so it’s not overkill when you don’t need, for instance, 20 tons of lift capacity when 9 tons will do just fine.

Dual-hub cable sheaves

Supersized 12” diameter cable sheaves within the runway and cross tubes, combined with massive 4” diameter sheave axles, dramatically improve cable wear and critical component lifespan, meaning this car lift increases your safety, so you spend less money in service-related expenses down the road.

Heavy-duty aircraft cable

The HDS18E four-post lift features four stainless steel lifting cables that do an excellent job of providing abrasion resistance and preventing fatigue.

Built-in lubrication

Grease nipples are located on every sheave and sheave axle to make lubrication maintenance on this car lift a breeze.

Spring-loaded safety locks

Spring-loaded safety locks automatically engage continuously during rise, and adjustable safety ladders allow for precise runway leveling, even if the car lift posts have been installed on slightly sloped floors.

Push-button pneumatic lock release

A simple push-button pneumatic lock release makes lowering operations simple and fast. Aircraft-quality stainless steel and aluminum pneumatic cylinders will provide years of trouble-free service.

Secondary lock system

A secondary lock system is on constant guard and acts as a slack-cable device in the unlikely event of an unexpected cable failure. Only consider a four-post lift that offers this secondary lock system. Integrated design Lifting cables, airlines, safety latches and sheaves are all fully enclosed within the car lift structure.
