Automatic Arm Restraint System Prevents Unplanned Movement
For decades, swing arms restraints have been integral to two-post lifts, minimizing the risk of arm shifting during vehicle loading and servicing. Despite that, traditional systems often struggle to withstand the considerable forces exerted when vehicles unexpectedly shift on support pads or adapters. This challenge arises from factors like improper loading or the addition/removal of heavy drivetrain components, resulting in an unanticipated shift in the vehicle’s center of balance.
BendPak’s AP Series introduces a groundbreaking solution: the Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System (ASARS). Engineered to tackle these challenges head-on, ASARS is fortified to withstand the elevated pushing and pulling forces encountered during vehicle service. This innovative design feature sets the AP Series apart, making it exceptionally well-suited for heavy vehicle service tasks.
The patented Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System in BendPak’s AP Series offers a remarkable 360-degree load-holding grip. Crafted from heavily forged steel, this exclusive design secures lift arms with over 2000 pounds of force, preventing unplanned movement during lift operation and vehicle servicing. Notably, this adaptive system requires minimal operator intervention while delivering unmatched holding power. Its distinctive power-hold design ensures precise, non-shifting action, with a convenient quick-release operator lever for instant clamping pressure release.
Rugged Enough to Stand up to Anything
Every Super-Duty AP Series lift delivers the no-compromise construction, durability, and other advantages that only the industry’s number one lift manufacturer can provide. Including the highest consumer confidence and safety rating, longest warranty, lowest cost of ownership and superior ergonomics that make your operators more productive and your operation more profitable. Bottom line, BendPak lifts are designed better, built better, and supported better than any other vehicle service lift in the world – which explains why BendPak makes and sells more lifts than anyone.
Innovative Safety Lock System
BendPak’s patented automatic safety lock system is engineered to significantly enhance operator efficiency and safety. With its simple yet innovative design, the system ensures automatic safety lock engagement throughout all lift rising operations. What’s more, an ergonomic single-point release mechanism enables operators to effortlessly disengage the safety locks during lift descent – all with the push of a single finger. It’s just that easy.
High-Strength Multi-Face Columns
Our revolutionary multi-face metal columns redefine strength and durability, especially under biaxial loading conditions. Unlike traditional single-formed columns, our innovative design incorporates multiple faces, strategically engineered to distribute loads more efficiently. This unique configuration enhances the structural rigidity and integrity of the columns, enabling them to withstand higher levels of stress and strain from varying directions simultaneously. By evenly dispersing forces during biaxial loading conditions, our multi-face columns provide unparalleled stability and resilience, ensuring optimal performance even in the most demanding environments, making them the ideal choice for any lifting application.
