BendPak HDS-18EA Four Post Alignment Truck Lift 
18,000 lbs. Capacity Standard Length 

BendPak's HDS-Series alignment lifts are engineered to meet the demanding needs of even the busiest auto shops. Every HDS series alignment lift incorporates premium features designed to improve longevity, safety and the overall user experience. These alignment racks were designed to be the work horse of your garage. The alignment system features premium free floating rear slip plates built into the structure of the runways, and provide a smooth and reliable footing for the wheels to rest on and respond to all adjustments smoothly and reliably time after time. Other key components that go into the construction of the lift include stainless steel aircraft quality cables and reliable pneumatic cylinders to disengage the safety locks just by pushing a single button. The safety locks automatically engage and are spring loaded while the lift is being raised. To provide additional safety, the rack is also supplied with a secondary back up slack cable safety system that automatically engages in the unlikely occasion of a cable failure. Plus, all working components, including cables, locking mechanisms and pulleys, latches and sheaves are safely enclosed into the structure of the lift.

The BendPak HDS Truck Series 4 post lifts are engineered by professionals, for professionals, and are made to meet the needs of even the most demanding automotive garage or fleet service facility. Bend Pak designed the HDS heavy truck four post lifts tough, with a wide range of innovative features to provide the serious auto shop owner with the best value for the money. They offer numerous models ranging from 18,000 lbs. capacity all the way up to 40,000 lbs. They also offer extra long models for maximum versatility.

The competition will tell you there's no difference, or that their lift is just as good, but don't let them fool you. Others may tell you that the BendPak lift is overbuilt, and that you don't need to pay up for this type of construction. One look at the long list of features and components, and you'll be convinced that BendPak is the right choice for you. BendPak's engineers believe in doing things the right way. Look for BendPak lifts to offer maximum durability, longevity and greater performance - with every single lift. And they pay keen attention to detail. Rest easy with the confidence that you can improve your productivity and not worry about down time and safety. These four post lifts are true commercial grade hoists with all of the features and quality a professional could want - or demand. Professionals have been counting on them for over 45 years for all of their lifting needs.

Each BendPak Alignment Lift Features:

Multiple turn plate pockets There are numerous positions that you can set the turnplates in the length of the runways, depending on the length of the car or truck. This allows you to customize the lift to fit the proportions of the vehicle being serviced.

Dual hub cable sheaves Extra large 12" diameter cable sheaves integrated in the runway and cross tube members along with extra large 4" diameter sheave axles reduce cable wear dramatically to help increase the longevity of all working components. This means less wear expenses and maintenance costs over the life of the lift. So even if that bargain brand lift cost you less money up front, it will cost you more in the long run.
BendPak HDS-14 Four Post Lift Sheaves

Heavy duty aircraft cable BendPak four post lifts include four large diameter 6 x 25 stainless steel premium grade lifting cables. This specific grade of cable was chosen for this application because of it's ability to resist corrosion, fatigue and wear.

Lubrication Integrated in Grease fittings are included throughout the lift and are located on every sheave axle to ensure that they are well lubricated and they will run smoothly over the life of the lift. Simply inspecting and lubricating at regular intervals ensures that the product will last and continue to perform over the course of many years.

Hydraulic Cylinder Hidden Don't worry, the large cylinder is conveniently located up underneath one of the runways, so as to not interfere with any operational aspects and functionality of the lift. It is constructed of premium grade steel tubing exceeding ASTM specifications to ensure durability. And because it's tucked underneath one of the runways, it also keeps it safe from exposure and potential damage. The cylinder piston is a pilot fitted, single piece machined piston with high durometer mechanically loaded rod seals. The cylinder seals and cups greatly reduce potential for leakage, and the chrome rod is precision machined and polished of C-1045/50 micro alloy steel with the ultimate plating process for maximum cylinder life. The materials and attention to detail in the manufacturing process assure you of the greatest possible longevity for your investment.

Flow restrictor A hydraulic flow restrictor is integrated into the system to provide a precise and controlled descent in the very unlikely event that the hydraulic hose were to fail.

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 were designed to be a little longer than competitors aiding in getting lower profile automobiles to get up on the runways without bottoming out.

Flexible protective conduit All airlines and Hydraulic hose lines are routed through a flexible and protective conduit to minimize potential damage and down time.
