Product Overview
The Only Heavy-Duty Car Lift You'll Ever Need
The BendPak HDS-40 four-post lift is engineered to tackle even the most massive vehicles with brute force and precision. This heavy-duty lift incorporates all the advanced features found in BendPak's robust lineup, including ergonomic controls, oversized sheaves, over-engineered lift components, and aircraft-quality cables, ensuring an unparalleled lifting experience.
For vehicles requiring extended support, the HDS-40 provides longer runways, significantly reducing the risk of accidental vehicle damage. This ensures that even the largest 40,000-lb. trucks and commercial vehicles can be safely and securely positioned for service.
- **Heavy-Duty Capacity:** Capable of lifting massive vehicles up to 40,000 lbs. (18,143.7 kg).
- **Extended Runways:** Designed to safely accommodate the longest and heaviest trucks and commercial vehicles.
- **Dual-Hub Cable Sheaves:** Features 12-inch (30.5 cm) diameter sheaves with 4-inch (10.2 cm) axles, over-engineered for safer lifting, low maintenance, and synchronized smooth lifting.
- **Heavy-Duty Aircraft Cable:** Utilizes 3/4-inch (1.9 cm) diameter, 6 x 25 galvanized lifting cables, resistant to rust, chemicals, heat, and humidity, requiring minimal maintenance.
- **Built-in Lubrication:** Self-lubricating grease nipples on sheave and sheave axles ensure smooth cable operation and prevent floor mess.
- **Flow Restrictor:** Integrated into the hydraulic cylinder for a safe, gentle descent in the rare event of a hose rupture.
- **Large Base Plates:** 12 x 12 inch (30.5 x 30.5 cm) base plates offer extreme security and stability when bolted to concrete flooring.
- **Spring-Loaded Safety Locks:** Audible clicking locks engage at multiple levels, providing 13 versatile locking positions for operator comfort and safety.
- **Push-Button Pneumatic Lock Release:** A single button simultaneously disengages all four locks for rapid and balanced descent, featuring aircraft-quality stainless steel and aluminum pneumatic cylinders.
- **Secondary Lock System:** A cable-slack detection device acts as a backup, shutting down the lift completely if any cable slack occurs, ensuring maximum safety.
- **Integrated Design:** All components (cables, sheaves, axles, hydraulic cylinder) are internally routed for a cleaner aesthetic, side-by-side stacking capability, and protection from shop conditions.
- **Adjustable Height Locking Positions:** Offers 13 locking positions for greater versatility and operator comfort compared to standard 10-position lifts.
- **Electric-Hydraulic Power System:** Features ergonomic one-push button control, a stabilizing pressure relief valve, and a weatherproof casing for reliable performance during heavy use.
