8 False Claims Still Made About Two-Post Lifts
Our two-post lifts are respected all around the world for their top-notch craftsmanship, forward-looking technology and feature-rich designs.

Get a High-Capacity Two-Post Car Lift
No matter the capacity of the model you choose, BendPak has an ALI Certified car lift for you. Our lighter-duty 9,000-lb. and 10,000-lb. capacity lifts cater to vehicles of all shapes and sizes. Telescoping swing-arms are tailor-made for either symmetric or asymmetric design. We also make low-profile arms to lift sports cars and other low-stance vehicles.
For those who need higher-capacity car and truck lifts, as covered by our 12,000-lb. models, you get the same certified structure and components, as well as those all-importantly, fully adjustable swing-arms.
And last but never least, our 20,000-lb. two-post lift is a true beast of a machine. As our highest-capacity model, it strikes fear in the heart of competitors who can't match our safety standards and incredible value, and it ensures you can safely lift just about anything that comes your way. Even if you see another brand with a lift rated for the same weight capacity, think twice before assuming it's as reliable and well-made as a BendPak. Other companies skimp on safety and performance. BendPak sets the benchmark for quality.
Two-Post Lift FAQs
Symmetric lifts typically position the vehicle evenly between the columns, while asymmetric configurations position the vehicle farther back to provide better door clearance and easier cabin access. Some BendPak two-post lifts offer versatile arm configurations that accommodate a broad range of vehicle types and lifting-point layouts.
Lift capacity varies by model and application. BendPak offers two-post lifts designed for everything from passenger cars and light trucks to heavier commercial vehicles. Always choose a lift with a rated capacity appropriate for the vehicles you intend to service, and never exceed the lift's stated capacity
Required ceiling height depends on the lift model, column height, overhead configuration, and the height of the vehicles being raised. BendPak offers multiple configurations to accommodate different shop layouts, including floorplate models that can be well suited to facilities with limited overhead clearance.
A clearfloor lift routes equalization cables and hydraulic lines overhead, leaving the floor between the columns unobstructed. A floorplate lift routes these components beneath a protective plate across the floor, eliminating the overhead crossbar and making the design useful for certain low-ceiling applications.
Concrete requirements vary by lift model, capacity, slab condition, concrete strength, and installation specifications. Always follow the requirements listed in the installation manual for your specific BendPak lift. The condition and suitability of the concrete should be verified before installation.
Many BendPak two-post lifts are independently tested and ALI Certified to applicable ANSI/ALI standards. Certification varies by model, so check the individual product specifications when selecting a lift if ALI Certification is required for your shop or application.
