Built for advanced repair environments, the OctaFlex system combines traditional frame-engaging lift capability with integrated auxiliary lift-assist arms engineered for cab-off truck service, EV battery packs, drivetrains, and other heavy components.
With triple-telescoping primary arms, independent auxiliary lifting arms, Bi-Metric symmetric/asymmetric configuration, and Direct-Drive hydraulic technology, the OctaFlex 12DPS dramatically expands what a two-post lift can do inside a professional shop.
The Most Innovative Two-Post Car Lift The Industry Has Ever Seen
Modern vehicle service has evolved. Electric vehicles require safe handling of large battery packs, while diesel trucks demand complex cab-off repairs that involve separating major vehicle assemblies. The BendPak OctaFlex 12DPS was built specifically for these challenges.
At its core, the OctaFlex combines a 12,000 lbs. two-post lift with an integrated auxiliary lifting system capable of supporting up to 6,000 lbs. This allows technicians to raise the vehicle while maintaining controlled support of heavy components such as cabs, drivetrains, and battery packs during service.
The result is a more capable service platform that expands what a traditional two-post lift can do in modern repair environments.
Real-World Cab-Off Repairs at Dave's Auto Center
At Dave's Auto Center in Centerville, Utah, technicians are already putting OctaFlex to work on real cab-off diesel truck repairs. Their team demonstrates how the system allows both the vehicle and major components to remain supported throughout the entire repair process.
Instead of relying on multiple jacks and constant repositioning, technicians maintain consistent alignment between the cab and chassis from disassembly through reassembly. This reduces the time typically spent guiding components back into place and minimizes the need for repeated adjustments.
By keeping everything stable on a single lifting system, shops like Dave's Auto Center are able to complete complex repairs with greater control and improved efficiency.
Designed to Simplify Cab-Off Truck Repairs
Cab-off service is one of the most demanding procedures in diesel repair. Separating the cab from the chassis requires precision, and reassembly often becomes a time-consuming process of aligning large components back into position.
The OctaFlex 12DPS simplifies this workflow by allowing technicians to support both the vehicle and its major assemblies on the same lift. With everything stabilized in relation to each other, components can be separated and reconnected without the constant repositioning required by traditional setups.
This level of control reduces technician effort, shortens repair time, and improves consistency across repeat jobs.
A Purpose-Built Lifting System for Modern Repairs
The OctaFlex platform combines four primary lifting arms with four auxiliary lift-assist arms, creating a system capable of supporting both the vehicle and key components during service.
The primary arms provide 12,000 lbs of lifting capacity, while the auxiliary system supports up to 6,000 lbs of additional load. This allows technicians to handle EV batteries, drivetrains, subframes, and other heavy assemblies directly beneath the vehicle without introducing additional lifting equipment.
By consolidating these functions into one system, technicians can move through complex repairs with fewer interruptions and a more controlled workflow.
Faster Repairs Through Consistent Alignment
One of the biggest time drains during major service work is reassembly. When components shift during a repair, technicians are forced to spend additional time adjusting and realigning parts to reconnect them properly.
The OctaFlex system helps eliminate this issue by maintaining consistent positioning between the vehicle and its components throughout the repair process. This allows assemblies to come back together more naturally, reducing the need for trial-and-error adjustments.
For service departments performing frequent cab-off or drivetrain repairs, this can translate into meaningful time savings across every job.
Triple-Telescoping Lift Arms Provide Exceptional Reach
Patent-pending triple-telescoping swing arms extend farther and retract shorter than conventional lift arms, giving technicians more flexibility when positioning lift points across a wide range of vehicles.
This added range improves compatibility with trucks, EVs, SUVs, and passenger vehicles while making it easier to position vehicles correctly without repeated adjustments.
Engineered for Modern Dealership and Service Facilities
The OctaFlex 12DPS is designed for high-demand service environments where efficiency and reliability matter. Its clear-floor configuration keeps the workspace open for equipment and movement beneath the vehicle, while heavy-duty construction ensures consistent performance under daily use.
Self-lubricating load bearings, industrial-grade hydraulic components, and a simplified lifting system reduce maintenance requirements while supporting long-term durability.
For dealerships and professional repair shops, the OctaFlex provides a more efficient way to handle the increasing complexity of modern vehicle service.
OctaFlex vs Traditional Two-Post Lifts
Traditional two-post lifts are designed to raise vehicles, but they offer limited support when handling heavy components during major repairs.
The OctaFlex 12DPS expands those capabilities by integrating component support directly into the lift system. In addition to lifting the vehicle, technicians can safely manage large assemblies without relying on separate equipment.
This integrated approach reduces setup time, improves workflow efficiency, and allows technicians to complete complex repairs faster using a single, stable lifting platform.
AN INNOVATION FIRST IN CAR LIFT HISTORY
