BendPak News

As you might recall, we reported a couple months ago that BendPak / Ranger equipment was going to be featured on an upcoming episode of DIY's garage makeover show, Garage Mahal. You may also recall that we promised to let you know when they were going air. Today, we're proud to announce that we're here to fill that promise. Mark your calendar! Set your DVR! The Car & Driver Magazine garage renovation episode featuring a BendPak XPR-9FX Two-Post Car Lift, Ranger RS-500 Spray Wash Cabinet, TriMax Air Compressor and a number of Ranger Hose Reels airs June 18th on DIY Network at 6:30 PM PST / 9:30 EST. But we've got more great news. The fine folks at DIY / Garage Mahal loved our equipment so much, they decided to use it in another episode with WIRED Magazine. You can see a RML-600 Motorcycle Lift from Ranger on June 11th, same time and channel. Read More

Over the weekend, Street Chopper Magazine editor Jeff G. Holt sent us over a couple of pictures featuring his BendPak HD-9 Four-Post Car Lift and BendPak LS580V Air Compressor, along with a few kind words to let us know how much he loves them.

We stumbled around in a daze, struck by the overwhelming amount of automobile awesomeness—unable to walk six feet without nearly tripping over a Mustang, Ford GT40 or Cobra. We were there to see a recording of a new CarCast How Use A Tire Changer segment. Read More
