APEX four post lift ramps are the ultra lightweight upgrade for BendPak style drive on lifts, built to replace heavy factory steel ramps with something you can move one handed. Each ramp uses a solid structural foam core with a rugged polyurea skin and a reinforced hook nose that seats positively in the lift pockets. The result is a low angle drive on experience that protects splitters, lips, and front overhangs while taking the misery out of pulling ramps on and off the lift all day.
The 96" Lightweight Foam 4-Post Ramp Kit from APEX is the ultra light, hook nose upgrade made specifically for BendPak HD-973P and HD-973PX lifts. Each 96 inch ramp delivers 11 inches of lift with a shallow 6 degree approach angle that low cars can actually climb without bumper drama. Built from high density structural foam with a rugged textured coating and a reinforced hook nose, these ramps are engineered to drop into the HD-973P / HD-973PX ramp pockets as a direct replacement for the factory steel ramps. Once you switch to APEX, you will not want to wrestle stock ramps again.

Does your BendPak four-post lift have ramp receiver brackets?
Ramp receiver brackets required for using APEX hook-nose lift ramps on BendPak 7K–9K four-post lifts. Sold as a pair.
The 48" Lightweight Foam 4 Post Ramp Kit from APEX is the ultra convenient, hook nose replacement for the heavy steel or aluminum ramps that came with your four post lift. Each 48 inch ramp delivers 5 inches of lift with a gentle 5.7 degree approach angle that is far friendlier for lower cars and performance vehicles. Designed for BendPak four post lifts, these APEX ramps are so light and easy to move you will never want to wrestle factory ramps again.

Does your BendPak four-post lift have ramp receiver brackets?

APEX four post ramps are designed first and foremost for BendPak lifts. Hook geometry, pocket engagement, and overall ramp profile are matched to specific BendPak models so they drop in and work as if they shipped with the lift from day one. Some ramps, such as the 96 inch Lightweight Foam 4 Post Ramp Kit, are engineered specifically for the HD-973P and HD-973PX triple stack lifts and must not be used on any other model. Others, like the shorter 48 inch kit, are tuned for more conventional BendPak four post installations where space and speed matter. Either way, you get a purpose built solution, not a generic block that just happens to fit.
Traditional steel ramps get the job done, but they are brutal to live with. APEX replaces that mass with a high density structural foam core that carries real vehicle loads while remaining shockingly light. Under the tire, the ramp feels solid and planted. Under your hand, it feels manageable. The foam never rusts, does not soak up fluids, and does not ring or flex like thin metal. It is wrapped in a polyurea shell that resists abrasion and chemicals while providing a micro textured surface that grips typical shop floors and tire tread.
APEX four post ramps are specced with low approach angles so modern sports cars, performance sedans, and lowered builds can climb onto the runways without treating the lift like a concrete curb. Longer 96 inch ramps give you 11 inches of lift with a 6 degree approach angle that is friendly to serious aero and long overhangs. Shorter 48 inch ramps provide a compact, faster loading option with a more forgiving angle than factory steel. In both cases, you get predictable geometry that respects ride height instead of punishing it.
Lightweight ramps change how you use the lift. When a 96 inch ramp can be moved by one person, you stop hesitating to pull it for rear access or cosmetic reasons. Integrated carry zones molded into the ramp body make it easy to lift, hang, and stow without wrestling hardware or listening to loose plates rattle. APEX ramps are built to live on and off the lift all week in real shops and serious home garages, not to sit in the corner as a someday upgrade.
Which four post lifts are APEX ramps compatible with?
APEX four post ramps are designed primarily for BendPak lifts. The 96 inch Lightweight Foam 4 Post Ramp Kit is engineered specifically for BendPak HD-973P and HD-973PX models and must not be used on any other lift. Other APEX four post ramp kits are tuned for additional BendPak four post configurations. Always check the compatibility notes on each product page and verify your exact lift model before ordering.
Why can’t the 96” APEX four post ramps be used on other brands or models?
The 96 inch ramps use a hook nose profile and pocket engagement that are matched to the HD-973P and HD-973PX ramps and runways. Using them on lifts with different pocket geometry can lead to incomplete engagement, unstable seating, and unsafe operation. For that reason they are approved only for those specific BendPak models.
Are APEX ramps as strong as the steel ramps they replace?
APEX ramps use a high density structural EPS core with a reinforced hook and a bonded polyurea shell. This composite design is engineered to support thousands of pounds within the published limits while providing a large, stable contact patch. When used on the specified BendPak models according to the instructions, they deliver strength and stability without the weight and rust of traditional steel ramps.
Do APEX four post ramps work with low cars and front splitters?
Yes. Approach angles are specifically tuned for low and performance oriented vehicles. The 96 inch ramps use a 6 degree approach angle to be friendly to long noses and aero, while the shorter 48 inch ramps offer a lower angle than typical factory steel ramps. As with any ramp, you should still load slowly and confirm clearance with very aggressive setups.
Can I leave APEX ramps on the lift full time?
Absolutely. APEX ramps are designed to live on the lift just like the original steel ramps. They can also be removed and stored easily thanks to their low weight and molded carry zones. The structural foam and polyurea shell do not rust and are resistant to typical shop environments.
