Obviously the guys at BORLA couldn’t divulge all of their muffler secrets, but they did drop a couple informational nuggets about what contributes to their exhaust system superiority. ATAK mufflers are built with BORLA’s patented multi-core technology, which already yields better flow performance than a straight piece of pipe. In a BORLA ATAK muffler, the specific configuration, perforation patterns, dimensions and amount of those inner cores are varied by BORLA’s engineers to create an optimal acoustic experience.

BendPak HD-14 car lifts already feature dual-hub cable sheaves to reduce stress and fatigue on the axles and the cables, delivering reliable performance. Now, to improve further on the longevity of critical components, we’re making the new generation of 14,000-lb. capacity car lifts with some of the largest sheaves ever seen beneath a runway. With the launch of the new HDS-14 car lifts from BendPak on the horizon, we had an excellent excuse to update our catalog with brand new product pictures, featuring none other than a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro.

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.

Not too long ago, we took a quick ride down the 101 to the fair city of Glendale, CA, where we were granted access into the hallowed halls of Adam Carolla’s garage. 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

A little over a week ago, we reported on BendPak’s upcoming part in Garage Mahal’s total makeover of one of Car and Driver Magazine’s test garages. So last week one of our intrepid team headed to the frosty northern city of Ann Arbor to oversee the installation of our automotive equipment for the show. (And to take pictures for the blog, of course.) During the visit, he met up with host Bill Goldberg, who turns out to not only be a huge car buff, but also a really personable guy who isn’t afraid at all to get his hands dirty. Read More

DIY Network’s hit show Garage Mahal is entering into its second season with new host WWE superstar Goldberg, even more insane garage makeovers and…BendPak equipment! That’s right, next week the Garage Mahal crew is heading over to Detroit to remodel the tech garage at the corporate offices of none other than Car and Driver Magazine. Read More

Here at BendPak, we believe that one of the primary forces pushing our industry forward is friendly competition. And if you're already familiar with www.aStudyInLiftDesign.com, you know that we like to cut through the marketing gobbledygook and simply put our best up against theirs. With this strategy, we can make sure that our BendPak car lifts and truck lifts are as robust and feature-rich as possible. At the same time, it’s enlightening to see the stark differences in design, materials and manufacturing that can exist between two seemingly identical products. Read More

Managing Automation Media (the same folks who interviewed our very own Sina Moatamed last October) just announced their list of Top 100 Progressive Manufacturing Companies for 2010...and BendPak is on it! It's an incredible honor to be recognized by the industry as a progressive manufacturing leader.
