Product Overview
Incredible Truck Lift for Heavy-Duty Lifting
The BendPak HDS-18E four-post lift is expertly engineered to handle heavy-duty lifting with ease, durability, and enhanced safety. This professional-grade car lift is a step up from mid-size vehicle applications, capable of accommodating large trucks, vans, SUVs, and even some industrial and farming equipment. Unlike larger, potentially excessive lifts, the HDS-18E provides ample lifting capacity (9 tons) without being overkill for applications that don't require 20 tons of brute force.
- **18,000 lbs. Capacity:** Designed for heavy-duty applications, including large trucks, vans, SUVs, and certain industrial/farming equipment.
- **Extended Runways:** Measures 263 inches (668 cm) front-to-back to accommodate long wheelbases. Features treaded surfaces for superior grip on massive tires without marring them.
- **Large Base Plates:** Substantial 12-inch x 12-inch (30.5 x 30.5 cm) base plates provide a stable and confident foundation.
- **Dual-Hub Cable Sheaves:** Oversized 12-inch (30.5 cm) diameter cable sheaves within the runway and cross tubes, paired with massive 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter sheave axles, significantly extend cable and component lifespan, enhancing safety and reducing maintenance costs.
- **Heavy-Duty Aircraft Cable:** Features four galvanized lifting cables designed for excellent abrasion resistance and fatigue prevention.
- **Built-in Lubrication:** Grease nipples are strategically located on every sheave and sheave axle for easy and effective lubrication maintenance.
- **Spring-Loaded Safety Locks:** Automatically engage continuously during ascent. Adjustable safety ladders allow for precise runway leveling, even on slightly sloped floors.
- **Push-Button Pneumatic Lock Release:** A simple push-button mechanism for fast and easy lowering operations. Utilizes aircraft-quality stainless steel and aluminum pneumatic cylinders for reliable, trouble-free service.
- **Secondary Lock System:** A crucial slack-cable device acts as a continuous guard against unexpected cable failure, providing an essential layer of safety that should be a consideration for any four-post lift.
- **Integrated Design:** Lifting cables, airlines, safety latches, and sheaves are fully enclosed within the lift's structure, protecting them from environmental factors and contributing to a cleaner appearance.
- **Adjustable Height Locking Positions:** Offers multiple adjustable locking positions for variable-height parking and infinite leveling, increasing versatility.
- **Electric-Hydraulic Power System:** A maintenance-free system ensuring ultimate dependability. All controls are conveniently located for easy access and operation.
- **Flexible Protective Conduit:** All heavy-duty cables are fitted with flexible, non-conductive protective casing to prevent wear and ensure electrical safety.
- **Optional Rolling Bridge Jack (Set of Two):** Used to raise the front or rear of a vehicle off the runways for efficient wheel and brake service. Features telescoping arms, frame contact pads, three safety-lock positions, and stackable truck/van adapters. Each jack comes with a commercial-grade air-hydraulic pump.
- **ALI Certified:** This product is certified to meet rigorous safety and performance standards.
