Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What kinds of Vehicles can I put on my Lift?
Answer: Cars, trucks, SUVs; anything that fits on the Runways, up to 7,000 lbs (3,175 kg).
Q: How long does it take to raise or lower my Lift with a Vehicle on it?
A: About 35 seconds. Longer if there is no weight on it.
Q: Does the Lift have a Front and a Rear?
A: Yes. For a four-post Lift, the end
opposite the Ramps is the Front; the end with the Ramps is
the Rear.
Q: Do I have to put my Power Unit in a particular location?
A: Yes. Your Power Post (the Post the holds the Power Unit) must be located at either the Driver-
Side Front or the Passenger-Side Rear of the Lift.
Q: Does the Lift have to be anchored in place?
A: It is up to you. Anchoring your Lift makes it more stable, but prevents you from moving it around
using the optional Caster Kit. Anchoring a four-post Lift is
not required.
Q: How high does the ceiling have to be?
A: It depends on the height of the Vehicle you are raising and how high you raise the Runways. The
general rule is: 87 inches plus the height of the Vehicle should prevent any problems. However,
before raising a Vehicle,
BendPak strongly recommends measuring .
Q: Does it matter if I drive my Vehicles in front first or back them in?
A: We recommend driving your Vehicle in front first, because that makes it easier to center the
wheels on the Runways. But it is up to you; the Lift works great either way. Also, remember to put
the Front wheels up against the Tire Stops and chock the Rear wheels.
Q: Will the Lifting Cables really hold my Vehicle?
A: Yes. Each Lifting Cable is .4 inch thick, aircraft-quality steel
wire rope . Each Lifting Cable is
rated to hold 14, 400 pounds.
Q: Do I need an Air Supply?
A: Yes. An Air Supply (3 to 25 cfm at 50 to 150 psi) is required to disengage the Safety Locks when
you want to lower the Lift. Regulate the line to a maximum pressure of 150 psi; the air lines could
burst or the Safety Locks malfunction at pressure over 150 psi.
Q: How long can I leave a Vehicle on a raised Runway?
A: As long as you want. Once the Lift is engaged on a Safety Lock, gravity holds it in position, so a
loss of power or a leaking Hydraulic Hose does not impact it; it is going to stay where you left it.
Only leave your Lift either fully lowered or engaged on Safety Locks .
Q: Can I install my Lift outside?
A: No. Your Lift is approved for indoor installation and use only.
Outdoor installation is
prohibited
.
Q: How many Safety Lock positions does my Lift have?
A: 17, spaced every 4 inches / 102 mm.
