Shipping Info
At Mechanic Superstore, our commitment is to provide you with the best customer service possible. For this reason, we offer you all kinds of delivery options so that you can choose the one that suits you best.

I Have The Equipment To Unload My Order
- Do you have a forklift, a high-capacity hoist, or a tractor in your facility? In that case, this option may be the one for you.Aspects to keep in mind when choosing this option.
- The most popular 2-post lifts (with 9,000 lb and 10,000 lb capacity) have a shipping weight of approximately 1,400 lbs and 1,900 lbs, respectively. On the other hand, a 15,000 lb capacity 2-post lift has a 2,700 lb shipping weight.
- Given the packaged lift and hydraulic power unit’s weight, they cannot be unloaded from the trailer by hand. Simply put, IT IS MANDATORY TO USE A SUITABLE FORKLIFT OR HOIST FOR UNLOADING THE LIFT.
- You are solely responsible for unloading your equipment from the truck. The truck driver cannot do this for you.
- Mechanic Superstore uses trustworthy freight companies to make the deliveries. It is your responsibility to be present on the scheduled date and time of the delivery.
- There will be a receiver charge of $135 if the truck driver arrives at the designated location and the customer does not have the necessary means ready to unload the lift.
- In case you do not have the necessary equipment to unload the equipment do not worry. Mechanics Superstore offers other delivery options.

Do you have a hitch trailer to transport your lift? If so, then this might be the best option.
Aspects to keep in mind when choosing this option.
1. Mechanics Superstore and our brands’ warehouses have the means to load your car lift into an appropriate trailer.
2. Given the weight and dimensions of car lifts, we cannot load lifts directly into vehicles or trucks. To safely transport your lift, you will need a hitch trailer. Will this option not work for you? Perhaps the warehouse is too far from your location? If so, keep reading.

Think of this option as a variation of the previous one. Even so, this could be an excellent alternative to picking up the lift at one of our warehouses. Instead, we can take the car lift to a warehouse closer to your location.
You will still need a hitch trailer to transport the lift for this option, but you can save on freight costs if you have an LTL Carrier close to your shop.

Neither of the above delivery options suits you? Then we have the solution.
We will dispatch your lifts directly to a local installer in your area. This way, you will not have to worry about anything since the installer would be in charge of the logistics.
Aspects to keep in mind when choosing this option.
1. You still have to pay the freight fee to the installer (or dock hold for the installer to pick up the lift)
2. We will quote th e installation fee before you pay for the lift so that you can get an idea of the total amount to pay (car lift + freight + installation).
Do you have another delivery option in mind? In that case, do not hesitate to contact us. At Mechanic Superstore, we are open to all kinds of solutions, as long as they comply with the relevant local regulations and safety standards.


Product Description
BendPak 20AP 20,000-lbs. Capacity 2 Post High-Rise Car Lift
Experience unparalleled direct-drive lifting performance with the 20AP two-post lift. This heavy-duty car lift is built with top-of-the-line materials, boasts cutting-edge technology, and features a design that’s ahead of its time. With a lifting capacity of 20,000 lbs., it’s engineered to handle heavy loads with ease, making it a standout choice for automotive professionals seeking reliability and efficiency.
In the dynamic world of automotive repair, staying equipped with the latest tools is crucial for keeping pace with evolving technology. BendPak’s AP Series of two-post lifts represents a significant leap forward in car lift engineering. By integrating the finest features from existing lift types, this innovative design sets new industry standards. Built to withstand heavy-duty usage, handle high loads, and prioritize both operator safety and efficiency, the 20AP is truly a standout solution.
The 20AP offers unmatched versatility with the convenience of wide or narrow installation options, all packaged into one compact package. This dependable car lift features an expandable top beam and Bi-Metric™ swing arms to accommodate a wide variety of vehicle lifting requirements, whether you need to lift symmetrically or asymmetrically. With its simple yet sophisticated design, it minimizes service and maintenance costs, delivering lower operating expenses and heightened productivity.
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.
