High-Rise Access for Modern Shop Workflows

The BendPak 12APX High-Rise Two-Post Car Lift gives professional repair facilities a 12,000-lb. lifting platform with the height, reach, and arm control needed for today’s vehicle mix. Built for shops that service trucks, SUVs, EVs, commercial vehicles, and passenger cars, the 12APX combines high-rise working access with BendPak’s AP Series engineering for safer, more confident daily lifting. Choose the 12APX when you need more capacity than a 10,000-lb. lift and more technician room under the vehicle. Its clearfloor layout keeps the bay open for tools and equipment, while Bi-Metric™ lifting, Low-Pro™ triple-telescoping arms, double-telescoping screw pads, and BendPak’s Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System help technicians reach more lift points with less compromise.

ASARS Arm Restraints with 360-Degree Holding Control

The 12APX uses BendPak’s Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System, or ASARS, to help keep the lift arms locked in position during vehicle service. This patented forged-steel restraint system provides 360-degree grip and is engineered to withstand more than 2,000 lbs. of side force, helping protect against unplanned arm movement when vehicle balance shifts. That matters on a 12,000-lb. two-post lift, especially when trucks, SUVs, driveline components, battery packs, or heavy assemblies are being serviced. ASARS adds confidence without making the operator fight the equipment, and a quick-release lever allows fast arm adjustment when the vehicle is ready to come down.

Low-Pro™ Triple-Telescoping Arms and Bi-Metric™ Lifting

Low-Pro™ Triple-Telescoping Arms and Bi-Metric™ Lifting

The 12APX is built around four triple-telescoping swing arms that extend farther and retract shorter than conventional arm designs. That added range helps technicians reach factory lifting points across a wide variety of wheelbases, frame layouts, and lower chassis-height vehicles without constantly repositioning the vehicle in the bay. Bi-Metric™ arm geometry allows the lift to support both symmetric and asymmetric loading, giving shops more flexibility when working with mixed vehicle types. Low-Pro™ arm ends and adjustable screw pads help engage low-profile lift points, while included adapter capability supports trucks, SUVs, and frame-style vehicles that need additional pad height.

Direct-Drive Hydraulics, Safety Locks, and Heavy-Duty Construction

Dual hydraulic direct-drive cylinders provide smooth lifting power without relying on chain-over-roller lifting. Safety locks in each column, a single-point safety release, padded overhead safety shutoff bar, galvanized equalizing cables, and self-lubricating Dura-Glide UHMW bearings support dependable daily use in demanding service environments. The 12APX is built with oversized columns, heavy-duty carriages, durable powder coat finish, and ALI certification for professional shop confidence. For facilities that need a high-rise 12,000-lb. two-post lift with modern arm technology and clearfloor access, the 12APX is the practical step up from lighter-capacity lifts.
