Each 96 inch ramp delivers 11 inches of lift with a shallow 6 degree approach angle that low cars can actually climb without bumper drama. Built from high density structural foam with a rugged textured coating and a reinforced hook nose, these ramps are engineered to drop into the HD-973P \/ HD-973PX ramp pockets as a direct replacement for the factory steel ramps. Once you switch to APEX, you will not want to wrestle stock ramps again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDoes your BendPak four-post lift have ramp receiver brackets? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRamp receiver brackets required for using APEX hook-nose lift ramps on BendPak 7K€“9K four-post lifts.

Each ramp uses a solid structural foam core with a rugged polyurea skin and a reinforced hook nose that seats positively in the lift pockets. The result is a low angle drive on experience that protects splitters, lips, and front overhangs while taking the misery out of pulling ramps on and off the lift all day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStop Wrestling With Heavy Steel Ramps \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you own a BendPak HD-973P or HD-973PX four-post lift, you already know the drill. The car lift is great. The factory ramps are not. They are heavy, awkward, and just steep enough to make low cars complain every time they climb on. The 96\" Lightweight Foam 4-Post Ramp Kit from APEX is built to fix that in one move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach ramp replaces the traditional steel or aluminum drive-on ramp with a long, lightweight, hook-nose alternative. You still get full four-post functionality, but with a 6 degree approach angle and a ramp you can actually move with one hand instead of bracing your whole body and hoping your back does not pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigned Specifically For BendPak HD-973P \/ HD-973PX \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese four-post lift race car ramps are engineered exclusively for BendPak HD-973P and HD-973PX triple-stack parking lifts that use removable, drop-in steel drive-on ramps. The hook nose geometry, ramp profile, and pocket engagement are all matched to the dimensions of these specific BendPak models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is not intended or approved for use on any other four-post lift, even if the ramp pockets appear similar. Always verify that your lift is an HD-973P or HD-973PX before installation. Using these ramps on other brands or models can result in improper engagement and unsafe operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e96 Inches Long, 11 Inches Of Lift, 6 Degrees Of Calm \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe numbers on this kit are not random. At 96 inches long with 11 inches of lift, each ramp provides a full, gradual run-up that low cars can actually live with. The 6 degree approach angle softens the breakover between the shop floor and the lift runways so splitters, lips, and long front overhangs do not have to play roulette every time they drive on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLonger ramp length also helps with longer wheelbase vehicles and modern performance cars with bigger front overhangs. Instead of having the nose swing down toward a steep ramp edge, the chassis rotates slowly and stays predictable from the time the front tires hit the ramp to the moment they land on the runways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHook Nose That Actually Locks In \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA lot of foam based replacement ramps rely on a simple flat plate glued to the front. That might work for a while, but over time the plate can peel, flex, or start to separate. APEX does it differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside each 96\" Lightweight Foam 4-Post Ramp Kit ramp is a contoured, reinforced hook nose insert that anchors deep into the structural foam body. That internal reinforcement ties the hook mechanically into the ramp, instead of depending on a thin layer of coating to hold everything together. Once the assembly is encapsulated in the textured coating, you end up with a hook that seats securely in the lift slot and stays there, season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigh Density EPS Structural Foam Core \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the heart of every APEX ramp is a proprietary high density expanded polystyrene (EPS) core. This solid, closed cell body is engineered to support thousands of pounds while staying impressively light in the hand. It is not hollow plastic. It is not a thin metal shell. It is a full depth structural core that distributes load through the entire ramp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the tire, that core feels like real equipment. The ramp does not ring, flex, or feel squishy. It simply supports the vehicle as it climbs, then holds position while you raise the lift. The EPS does not rust, does not absorb water or oil, and does not transfer heat like steel, which is ideal for shop environments where conditions are not always perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRugged Polyurea Coating That Grips And Protects \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe EPS core is fully encapsulated in a high performance polyurea elastomer coating. That coating forms a tough, flexible skin that resists abrasion, impacts, chemical spills, and day-to-day shop abuse. Just as important, it is applied in a way that chemically bonds to the foam, so it does not peel off in sheets the first time someone drags a ramp across the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface is micro textured to grip both the shop floor and the tire tread. On concrete, epoxy, painted floors, and typical service bay surfaces, the ramps are designed to stay where you put them. You are not chasing ramps that scoot away under throttle or slide when a heavy front end first makes contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLighter Than Steel, Smarter Than Aluminum \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost factory steel four-post ramps are heavy enough to be miserable. Aluminum upgrades are lighter, but still not what you would call easy. APEX ramps change the equation. The structural foam and integrated handles make each 96 inch ramp shockingly manageable for its size. You grab, lift, and carry without feeling like you just signed up for a gym session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn day-to-day use, that matters more than spec sheets. When ramps are easy to remove, you are more likely to pull them off when you need full rear access or want a cleaner look. When they are easy to hang, you are more likely to put them back exactly where they should be. The APEX kit is built to live on and off the lift without becoming a chore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBuilt To Work In Real Shops And Serious Home Garages \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 96\" Lightweight Foam 4-Post Ramp Kit from APEX is aimed squarely at people who actually use their BendPak HD-973P or HD-973PX lifts, not just park cars on them. Performance shops, detailers, dealers, and serious home enthusiasts all benefit from a ramp solution that protects low cars, saves backs, and speeds up daily workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrive on, raise the lift, do the work, drop it, and drive off. Simple. No more wrestling steel, no more hoping the angle is friendly enough for your lowest car, and no more pretending heavy ramps are fine when everyone knows they are a pain. Once you swap to APEX, going back to stock ramps feels like going backward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho Is This Product Best For? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBendPak HD-973P and HD-973PX four-post lift owners who are tired of wrestling heavy steel ramps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShops and dealers using HD-973P \/ HD-973PX lifts that load low cars, performance vehicles, and customer cars all day long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHome enthusiasts and collectors with BendPak HD-973P or HD-973PX lifts who want a professional level ramp solution that respects both their cars and their backs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailers and tuners who constantly move cars on and off BendPak HD-973P \/ HD-973PX lifts and need fast, repeatable, low angle access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone looking for an APEX grade, ultra-light replacement for factory steel ramps on BendPak HD-973P and HD-973PX lifts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBuilt Around BendPak Four Post Lifts \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAPEX four post ramps are designed first and foremost for BendPak lifts. Hook geometry, pocket engagement, and overall ramp profile are matched to specific BendPak models so they drop in and work as if they shipped with the lift from day one. Some ramps, such as the 96 inch Lightweight Foam 4 Post Ramp Kit, are engineered specifically for the HD-973P and HD-973PX triple stack lifts and must not be used on any other model. Others, like the shorter 48 inch kit, are tuned for more conventional BendPak four post installations where space and speed matter. Either way, you get a purpose built solution, not a generic block that just happens to fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStructural Foam That Replaces Heavy Steel \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraditional steel ramps get the job done, but they are brutal to live with. APEX replaces that mass with a high density structural foam core that carries real vehicle loads while remaining shockingly light. Under the tire, the ramp feels solid and planted. Under your hand, it feels manageable. The foam never rusts, does not soak up fluids, and does not ring or flex like thin metal. It is wrapped in a polyurea shell that resists abrasion and chemicals while providing a micro textured surface that grips typical shop floors and tire tread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLow Angles For Low Cars \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAPEX four post ramps are specced with low approach angles so modern sports cars, performance sedans, and lowered builds can climb onto the runways without treating the lift like a concrete curb. Longer 96 inch ramps give you 11 inches of lift with a 6 degree approach angle that is friendly to serious aero and long overhangs. Shorter 48 inch ramps provide a compact, faster loading option with a more forgiving angle than factory steel. In both cases, you get predictable geometry that respects ride height instead of punishing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEveryday Use Without The Daily Fight \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLightweight ramps change how you use the lift. When a 96 inch ramp can be moved by one person, you stop hesitating to pull it for rear access or cosmetic reasons. Integrated carry zones molded into the ramp body make it easy to lift, hang, and stow without wrestling hardware or listening to loose plates rattle. APEX ramps are built to live on and off the lift all week in real shops and serious home garages, not to sit in the corner as a someday upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHook-Nose Four Post Ramp FAQs \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhich four post lifts are APEX ramps compatible with? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAPEX four post ramps are designed primarily for BendPak lifts. The 96 inch Lightweight Foam 4 Post Ramp Kit is engineered specifically for BendPak HD-973P and HD-973PX models and must not be used on any other lift. Other APEX four post ramp kits are tuned for additional BendPak four post configurations. Always check the compatibility notes on each product page and verify your exact lift model before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy can€™t the 96\" APEX four post ramps be used on other brands or models? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 96 inch ramps use a hook nose profile and pocket engagement that are matched to the HD-973P and HD-973PX ramps and runways. Using them on lifts with different pocket geometry can lead to incomplete engagement, unstable seating, and unsafe operation. For that reason they are approved only for those specific BendPak models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAre APEX ramps as strong as the steel ramps they replace? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAPEX ramps use a high density structural EPS core with a reinforced hook and a bonded polyurea shell. This composite design is engineered to support thousands of pounds within the published limits while providing a large, stable contact patch. When used on the specified BendPak models according to the instructions, they deliver strength and stability without the weight and rust of traditional steel ramps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDo APEX four post ramps work with low cars and front splitters? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Approach angles are specifically tuned for low and performance oriented vehicles. The 96 inch ramps use a 6 degree approach angle to be friendly to long noses and aero, while the shorter 48 inch ramps offer a lower angle than typical factory steel ramps. As with any ramp, you should still load slowly and confirm clearance with very aggressive setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCan I leave APEX ramps on the lift full time? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbsolutely. APEX ramps are designed to live on the lift just like the original steel ramps. They can also be removed and stored easily thanks to their low weight and molded carry zones. The structural foam and polyurea shell do not rust and are resistant to typical shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNew Race Car Ramps Just Rolled Into Town. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUltra-lightweight APEX ramps for trailers, lifts, garages and storage. Built for low cars and people who actually wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne Idea. Four Ways To Use It \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAPEX ramps solve the same problem in different places - on the trailer, in the garage, on the lift and when the car sits for a while.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom The Lift People. For The Ramp Problem. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAPEX is born inside the same group that builds BendPak car lifts. That means these ramps were sketched on shop floors, tested under real cars and refined around real frustrations. APEX ramps are not just an accessory. They are part of a system. The missing piece between the floor, the trailer and the lift your car already trusts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll The Strength. None Of The Struggle. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteel ramps are strong but heavy. Aluminum is lighter but still a fight. APEX ramps use a solid, lightweight high-density EPS structural foam core that changes the math. The foam core spreads weight through the body instead of concentrating it at thin contact points. The outer skin is a tough, textured coating that locks to the core and grips tires and floors. Don't dread the setup. Grab an APEX ramp, drop it where it belongs and get on with the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's Inside Every APEX Ramp? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAPEX ramps are not painted mystery foam. Each one is a composite: a high density expanded polystyrene core locked inside a sprayed polyurea elastomer shell. The chemistry is overbuilt for what you do to ramps in the real world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePolyurea Coating On The Outside \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe outer shell is a two component polyurea elastomer sprayed directly onto the foam. Isocyanate and amine react in milliseconds to form long chains of urea linkages that crosslink into a dense, rubber tough skin. That chemistry gives you high tensile strength, very high elongation and serious abrasion resistance in one layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coating wets into the EPS surface while it cures, so it does not sit on top like paint. It keys into the core and locks on, which is why you can drag APEX ramps across concrete, load on them all weekend and not watch the shell peel away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast cure time for a seamless shell around the core.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh elongation and impact resistance for dropped tools and curb hits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicro textured finish that grips tires and typical shop floors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent resistance to oil, fuel, coolant and most common shop chemicals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigh Density Expanded Polystyrene On The Inside \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe core starts as styrene beads that are pre expanded with steam, then fused under heat and pressure into a solid block. At the densities APEX uses, expanded polystyrene behaves like a structural foam: rigid enough to carry heavy loads, light enough to move with one hand and stable across real temperature swings in trailers and garages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClosed cell structure means the beads trap gas rather than water. The core does not soak up moisture, does not rust and does not slowly turn to mush if you park on it for long stretches. Compression is distributed through the whole block instead of one thin wall, which is why APEX ramps feel planted when you drive onto them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh compressive strength relative to weight for real vehicle loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed cell construction that resists water ingress and freeze damage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensionally stable across typical shop and trailer temperatures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActs as a damping layer so ramps stay quiet under the car.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTwo Materials Working As One. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePut together, the EPS core and polyurea shell give APEX ramps a solid core feel with a tough, grippy surface that holds up to trailers, lifts and low cars that actually get driven.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ASEDeals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51624097972536,"sku":"5174170","price":1375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/9631\/6984\/files\/apex-four-post-ramp-96-image01.jpg?v=1768596300","url":"https:\/\/www.asedeals.com\/products\/apex-96-lightweight-foam-four-post-ramp-kit","provider":"Automotive Service Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
