BendPak's commitment to over-engineering guarantees that this truck lift will perform reliably without undue strain, helping your business maintain and service large fleets with ease.
- **27,000 lbs. Capacity:** Capable of lifting a wide variety of heavy-duty commercial and municipal vehicles.
- **Extended Runways (Optional HDS-27X):** Available with longer runways to accommodate vehicles with diverse and wide wheelbases, preventing chassis damage during loading.
- **Dual-Hub Cable Sheaves:** Features massive 12-inch (30.5 cm) diameter sheaves and 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter sheave axles, significantly extending the lift's lifespan by reducing wear on critical components. Meets or exceeds ALI standards.
- **Heavy-Duty Aircraft Cable:** Equipped with four 1/2-inch (1.27 cm) diameter, 6 x 25 galvanized lifting cables, each with a 14,000-lb. (6,350 kg) breaking strength, ensuring maximum safety and resistance to rust, chemicals, and environmental factors.
- **Built-in Lubrication:** Sheaves and sheave axles are fitted with grease nipples for automatic lubrication, minimizing periodic maintenance.
- **Flow Restrictor:** An integrated feature in the hydraulic cylinder that provides a safe, controlled slow descent, even in the rare event of a hydraulic hose rupture.
- **Large Base Plates:** Substantial 12-inch x 12-inch (30.5 x 30.5 cm) base plates provide robust support for the columns.
- **Spring-Loaded Safety Locks:** Engage automatically as the lift rises, with standard safety ladders adjustable to maintain level runways, especially useful on sloped floors.
- **Push-Button Pneumatic Lock Release:** Aircraft-quality steel and aluminum pneumatic cylinders allow for a single-push release of all locks, ensuring smooth and controlled descent.
- **Secondary Lock System:** A slack-cable lock acts as an additional safety measure in the unlikely event of cable failure, keeping the vehicle stable.
- **Integrated Design:** All working components, including cables, airlines, safety latches, and cable sheaves, are internally routed within the columns, protecting them from environmental damage and contributing to a clean aesthetic.
- **Adjustable Height Locking Positions:** Offers multiple locking heights to suit various vehicle types and operator comfort.
- **Electric-Hydraulic Power System:** Features ergonomic one-push button controls for easy raising, lowering, and system shutdown.
- **Flexible Protective Conduit:** Heavy-duty cables are encased in non-conductive, flexible tubing to prevent wear and electrical shocks.
