HD-9 Series Four-Post Lifts 7 P/N 5900123 — Rev. M1 — March 2020
Drawing shows the two possible Power Post locations; only one Post has the Brackets for mounting
the Power Unit. Not all components are shown.
Optional Accessories
There are additional products you can use with your Lift:
• Aluminum Drive-up Ramps. The Aluminum Drive-up Ramps are a low-profile alternative to the
standard Drive-up Ramps that come with your Lift. See the Aluminum Approach Ramps
page on the BendPak website for more information.
• Aluminum Platforms. Aluminum Platforms fill in the open space between the Lift’s two
Runways, preventing liquids from dripping on the floor or onto a Vehicle below the Runways. See
the Aluminum Platforms page on the BendPak website for more information.
• Caster Kit. The Caster Kit allows you to pick up and move your Lift without needing to
disassemble it. See the Caster Kit page on the BendPak website for more information.
• Plastic Drip Trays. Plastic Drip Trays prevent liquids from falling onto your work area or Vehicle.
See the Plastic Drip Trays page on the BendPak website for more information.
• Rolling Bridge Jack. A Rolling Bridge Jack raises the wheels of a Vehicle off the Runways of a
Lift, making it much easier to perform service such as brake jobs and suspension work while the
Vehicle is still on the Lift. See the RBJ4500 Rolling Bridge Jack page on the BendPak
website for more information.
