BendPak HDS-14LSX Four Post Alignment Lift
14,000-lb. Capacity SKU# 5175171
Extended Length Includes Turnplates and Slip Plates 

Alignment Lift System Offers 14,000 lbs. of Pure Lifting
BendPak's HDS-14LSX alignment lift is engineered to meet the strenuous demands of your toughest professional lifting jobs. Designed into the HDS-14LSX alignment lift is a long list of crucial features that improve safety, durability and productivity, ensuring your BendPak is the absolute best car lift you can buy.

This is the sturdy beast you want as the backbone of your shop, especially if you service large, low ground-clearance vehicles. Our alignment system features front turn plates and rear slip plates built right into the runways. The wheels always respond to your adjustments with no resistance or hassle. We call it "free-floating." You'll find it unbelievably easy.

Slip plates
Rear-facing multi-caster slip plates and front-facing turn plates permit precise, free-floating alignment.

Turn plates
This alignment lift features two recessed turn plate pockets that let you freely position the corrosion-resistant, galvanized turn plates.

BendPak HDS-14 Four Post Lift Sheaves Dual-hub cable sheaves
BendPak alignment lifts include strong, durable and oversized 10.5" diameter cable sheaves within the runway and cross tubes, as well as 2.25" diameter sheave axles. These powerful components keep your car lift running for many years, far past the point other brands’ lifts have already given out or required expensive parts replacements.

Heavy-duty aircraft cable
BendPak runs four aircraft-quality steel cables (that measure in at a robust 1/2" diameter, 6 x 25), within the columns. They are literally the ultimate standard for high-quality cable construction and safe lifting.

BendPak 4 Post Lift Ladder Safety Adjustable height locking positions
Alignments are often done by different mechanics in a busy shop. The multiple locking heights allow different people to work on the HDSO14AX alignment lift at the height appropriate for them. Since it’s an open-front design, getting under is easy no matter how tall they are.

Built-in lubrication
Grease fittings are an essential component to every car lift we make. They keep the cable sheaves lubricated, so you don’t have to worry about productivity and safety in our design.

BendPak 4 Post Lift Cylinder Flow Restrictor Flow restrictor
Should anything catastrophic occur in your shop to disrupt the functionality of your lift, we want you to feel confident that BendPak keeps your vehicles and equipment safe. If the hydraulics are cut or lose all pressure, which would be extraordinary, the built-in hydraulic flow divider still ensures a safe, even descent at all times.

BendPak Four Post Lift Spring Loaded Safety Locks Spring-loaded safety locks
Our fully adjustable locks are also found on the HDSO14AX alignment lift. Springs engage as the lock ascends into position. This design also helps keep the platforms even, even if there’s a tiny slope to your garage flooring.

BendPak 4 Post Lift Safety Release Push-button pneumatic lock release
Air locks make releasing the locks simultaneous, each and every time. The instant release ensures the alignment lift platforms descend evenly.

BendPak Four Post Lift Slack Cable Safety Secondary lock system
A backup lock system protects the alignment system in the event that cable slack is detected. When this occurs, the cable is immediately "grabbed," and the entire operation ceases immediately.

BendPak 4 Post Lift Cylinder Under Runway Integrated design
BendPak cables, cable sheaves and airlines run internally throughout the structure. Every one of these parts is susceptible to damage and extra wear if left exposed. We keep the look and feel of this alignment lift clean while protecting the most critical parts and components.

BendPak Four Post Lift Power Unit Electric-hydraulic power system
The power unit never needs to be maintained or adjusted. It’s also so easy and safe to use, we recommend it for both home and commercial applications.

BendPak Powder Coat Durable Powder Coat Finish
Durable powder coat finish can withstand the most harsh environments, chemicals and abuse. They perform the most comprehensive powder coat process available. First, parts are cleaned in 5 stages of phosphate bath tanks, and then immediately flash dried to prevent corrosion. All threaded holes and other surfaces are plugged and masked with high temperature tape and plugs and then wiped with thinner for purposes of removing any fingerprints and debris prior to final electrostatic conveyor line. After Parts are are coated with the spray gun, they are then moved along to the oven for curing, where they are baked at 400 degrees F. for 45 minutes. No other auto lift manufacturer pays so much attention to detail when fabricating their products.

Longer approach ramps
Because our approach ramps are longer, they make it easier to load low ground-clearance vehicles. So easy, in fact, that you’ll never scratch up the bottom of your car or struggle with the gas pedal to give enough gas without shooting onto the ramp at an unsafe speed. Simply glide on and start aligning.

Flexible protective conduit
The durable conduit that surrounds the airlines and hydraulic hoses prevents damage to the cables. It also keeps you safe from electrical shock.

BendPak Rolling Jacks Rolling bridge jacks
Rolling bridge jacks turn your alignment lift into an all-purpose four-post lift. No need to transfer to a different car lift to perform wheel and brake service. Now you can change brake rotors right before you align the wheels, all on the same lift. Rolling bridge jacks are a safe and space-saving way to increase shop capability without purchasing more equipment.

Choose extended frames
The HDS14LSXE is designed for extended-length vehicles, such as trucks and vans. The runways and overall length are extended by 30". With runways now 229" in length, some very long vehicles can fit easily on the car lift. If your service bay demands these vehicle types, an extended length alignment lift is absolutely necessary to perform wheel alignments.

BendPak Four Post Lift Testimonials

WARNING!
Here are five questions you must consider before buying that bargain-lift!

Who is the manufacturer? How long have they been around? Many have gone out of business several times, each time leaving their prior customers who depend on them high and dry. What is the manufacturer's reputation? Are their manufacturing facilities and equipment state-of-the-art? For instance, Bend-Pak's four post lifts use a futuristic UHMW ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene load bearings. They never need lubrication and last virtually the life of the lift. BendPak's four post lifts also contain a slack cable safety. This is a secondary locking system that will extend safety latches should your cable fail, lose tension, or fall off a pulley.  Bend-Pak is one of the leading manufacturers in the world and has been manufacturing automotive equipment for over forty five years.

What is the lift's quality? This is the most important consideration when purchasing a lift, or any product for that matter. How thick is the steel used to produce the columns? What is the quality of the steel used in the manufacturing process? Bend Pak's lifts are manufactured with the highest quality ASTM steel - only the best. Are the posts manufactured of single-piece construction? If they're not, you're sacrificing strength. BendPak's base plates are an extra thick steel plate. This lessens the stress on your floor as well as the bottoms of the posts. The result? - you guessed it. A safer lift! Are the welds quality welds, or are they inferior spot welds? What about the other components? If they are of questionable origin, you may not notice within the first year or two, but you will shortly after the warranty expires!

What about the cylinders? Bend Pak uses a top quality cylinder with pressure relief system mounted underneath the runways, so it's out of the way.  Those bargain lift systems typically wear very early, and require continuous monitoring and maintenance. Bend-Pak's technology offers better reliability and smoother operation. And because they work under lower pressure, they last much longer. That bargain lift isn't saving you as much money as you first thought - is it?

Does the manufacturer sacrifice safety to save money? This is unacceptable to BendPak, and it should be to anyone who works under a lift! Does that bargain lift have redundant locks that automatically engage in the event of hydraulic or cable failure? Bend-Pak's lifts have a secondary slack cable safety. BendPak lifts incorporate these redundant safety features to ensure your safety. Only lifts approved by ETL and ALI (Automotive Lift Institute) will have this feature. Does the lift comply with ETL and ALI standards? No one should even consider a lift that doesn't! Only a handful of manufacturers do and of those that do, Bend Pak is one of the most affordable. Not sure if the other manufacturer is an ALI certified manufacturer? If they don't mention that they are - they most likely aren't. Beware manufacturers that claim they are approved and tested by anybody but ALI. ALI is the industry standard and the recognized industry watchdog. ALI and ETL approved lifts must conform with the most strict international safety and quality standards.

How much money is that bargain lift really saving you? Short term, it might save you a couple of hundred dollars, but then you factor in the down-time and the added maintenance and monitoring of their lifts. Then add the time wasted on unnecessary procedures. Shortly, you will begin to realize the lifetime of savings a quality lift like Bend-Pak will bring you. Furthermore, Bend-Pak offers on-site service if necessary. The bargain lift manufacturers that we know of don't offer on-site service. Plus, we've found that parts availability is an issue with the bargain lifts. Sure, they may have parts now, while this particular lift is still in production, but what about when they discontinue this model? Will parts still be available years later? Usually not. Remember, TIME=MONEY! If your technician is doing anything other than servicing a customer's vehicle, you're losing money!

Quality does matter!
Think smarter. Think long term. Think BendPak.
