New low-ceiling floorplate car lift maximizes overhead clearance
AGOURA HILLS, CA (July 14, 2026) — APEX™ by BendPak introduces the AL9LC two-post floorplate car lift, engineered for shops and home garages looking for professional lifting capability in low-ceiling environments.
The AL9LC’s floorplate design maximizes overhead clearance by eliminating the top crossbar found on many two-post lifts, making it a smart choice for low-ceiling bays and working on taller vehicles without interference.
The APEX AL9LC delivers the features master technicians and home mechanics need to efficiently service a wide range of vehicles:
“Low ceilings and limited budgets don’t have to dictate a shop’s potential,” says Tyler Rex, BendPak senior director of marketing. “The APEX AL9LC brings premium, uncompromised power to compact workspaces at a price point that makes sense.”
Constructed with high-strength steel and reinforced components, the APEX AL9LC is built to withstand the demands of daily shop use. A heavy-duty 6-inch by 6-inch tubular steel carriage delivers superior load-bearing support, while oversized base plates help ensure even weight distribution and stability.
The AL9LC features a proven chain-over design with an industrial-grade leaf chain engineered to endure heavy loads and repeated lifting cycles without stretching or premature wear. Oversized heavy-duty rollers with Zerk grease fittings, along with self-lubricating UHMW polyethylene guide blocks, reduce friction and wear while helping maintain smooth, consistent operation with minimal maintenance.
Like all APEX by BendPak car lifts, the AL9LC is backed by a three-year warranty and a nationwide support network.
