BendPak 10APX-181 AP Series 10,000 lbs. 2 Post Auto Lift Clearfloor 181"

A NEW PARADIGM IN LIFTING

Auto repair shops working on the latest technology need to be equipped with the latest and most advanced tools to service them properly; they need to evolve alongside the vehicles they service. BendPak's all-new AP series of two-post lifts are a revolutionary design that factors the best qualities of today's two-post lift types into a completely new concept in car lift engineering. The result is a lift unlike any other two-post lift on the market, purposefully designed for extreme use, high loads and operator safety and efficiency.

Our 10AP Series offers the convenience of wide or narrow installation wrapped up into one configurable package. This durable, safe, and reliable car lift features an expandable top beam and BI-METRIC? arms to suit virtually every vehicle lifting requirement ? symmetric or asymmetric. The simple, yet highly sophisticated lift design keeps service and maintenance costs to a minimum, delivering lower operating expenses and higher productivity.

AUTOMATIC ARM RESTRAINT SYSTEM PREVENTS UNPLANNED MOVEMENT

Swing arm restraints have been used for decades on two-post lifts to minimize the chance of arms shifting during vehicle loading and service. However, until now, these systems had a difficult time withstanding the excessive forces applied to them when vehicles suddenly and unexpectedly shifted on the support pads or adapters of the far-reaching swing arms; typically due to improper loading or when heavy drivetrain components are added or removed from elevated vehicles causing an unanticipated transference in the center of balance.

A significant design feature that makes BendPak?s AP series particularly well-suited for heavy vehicle service is a revolutionary Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System (ASARS) that has been bolstered to withstand these elevated pushing and pulling forces that occur when vehicles are being serviced.

With a full 360-degrees of load-holding grip, the heavily forged-steel design of this patent-pending and very exclusive arm restraint system secures the lift arms firmly in place with over 2000-pounds of loadholding force, preventing unplanned swing-arm movement during lift use and vehicle service operations. This revolutionary design is an adaptive system that requires minimal operator involvement and delivers unparalleled holding power. A distinctive power-hold design that allows for precise non-shifting action, and a handy quick?release operator lever allowing for the instant release of the clamping pressure.

TRIPLE-TELESCOPING NESTED SWING ARM DESIGN

Revolutionary and patent-pending swing arms are specifically tailored for varying vehicle lifting points. Unlike traditional two-post lift arms, 10AP arms retract shorter and extend farther; offering lift operators a myriad of lift arm positioning options - it?s like having the best of all worlds.

The innovative three-stage arms achieve more telescoping movement due to their patent-pending nesting feature that results in greater retraction and farther reach. Inner sliding arm movement is no longer impeded by arm end plates, tube closeouts, or even the arm pivot pin itself. The inner tubes retract fully through the back of the arm assembly end even beyond the arm pin, resulting in more achievable retraction and extension.

LOW PROFILE ARM TUBE PROFILE

BendPak's exclusive Low-Pro? swing arms feature telescoping channels that have a shorter profile and a dropped-end pad receiver resulting in better serviceability on lowered chassis-height vehicles. They access hard-to-reach lift points with less hindrance providing increased versatility and less chance of damage to vehicle side skirts, running boards or ground effects. Varying height stackable adapters combined with two stage spin-up screw pads provide greater vertical pad placement for precise and safe vehicle support.

SCREW PADS AND ADAPTERS THAT ADJUST TO YOUR NEEDS

Double-telescoping screw adapters feature gouge and tearresistant polyurethane pads that can be screwed up or down to ensure level lifting in all conditions. Provides more precise and secure frame engagement, ensuring technician safety. 2.5" and 5" stackable adapters that are included as standard accessories provide greater vertical pad placement for precise and safe vehicle support. The drop-in design allows for quick and easy use, and a column-mounted rack keeps the adapters neatly organized and secure.

INNOVATIVE SAFETY LOCK SYSTEM

The patent-pending automatic safety lock system is designed to dramatically improve operator efficiency and safety. The simple yet innovative design ensures automatic safety lock engagement during all lift rising operations, and an ergonomic single-point release allows operators to effortlessly release the safety locks during lift descent - literally with a push of a single fing er. It?s that easy.

BI-METRICTM REVERSIBLE SWING-ARMS

Exclusive BI-METRIC? adaptable swing-arms give users the ability to set their lift up in either symmetric or asymmetric configurations. The 2-in-1 design gives operators the option of loading vehicles either symmetrically (centerline of vehicle at column) or asymmetrically (centerline of vehicle behind column). By not having to switch out arms, you?ll be able to service vehicles faster than ever before.

ASYMMETRIC CONFIGURATION	SYMMETRIC CONFIGURATION

WITH EVERY AP SERIES LIFT YOU GET

• Clear-floor convenience ? unobstructed floor space allows technicians the ability to easily move toolboxes, transmission jacks, oil drains, and other equipment underneath elevated vehicles.
• Bi-Metric reversible swing-arms ? give users the ability to set their lift up in either symmetric or asymmetric configurations. The 2-in-1 design gives installers and operators the option of loading vehicles either symmetrically (centerline of vehicle at column) or asymmetrically (centerline of vehicle behind column).
• Low-Pro? swing arms ? low-profile telescoping swing arms offer less hindrance providing increased versatility and less chance of damage to vehicle side skirts, running boards, or ground effects.
• Automatic arm restraints ? each arm is equipped with durable 360-degree full-contact geared arm restraints that provide over 2000-pounds of load-holding force and automatically engage each time the lift is raised. When the lift is lowered, the geartype arm restraints automatically disengage to provide easy positioning of the lift arms.
• Configurable wide or narrow installation ? allows you to maximize the use of your floor space.
• Single-piece columns ? we purposely manufacture the columns using single-piece construction for added strength and less fatigue under heavy load conditions.
  
• Maintenance-free load bearings ? rather than using roller bearings that need constant lubrication and maintenance, every AP series lift carriage uses futuristic ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) polyethylene load bearings that never need lubrication and last virtually the life of the lift.
• Dual Direct-Drive technology ? by utilizing two low-pressure Direct-Drive cylinders, we?ve eliminated the need for lifting chains or screw mechanisms most commonly found on other lift designs. This Direct-Drive technology offers better reliability, smoother operation, and less maintenance. Low pressure means less of a workload is placed on the entire hydraulic system.
• Single-point safety release ? the single-point safety release and dead-man style operation controls makes every one of our AP series lifts easy to operate and safe to use.
• On the level ? our Dual-Synchro equalization system maintains equal lifting and provides operators with a stable, level vehicle working condition.
• HVLP hydraulic system ? every AP Series lift uses a High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP) electric-hydraulic power system that delivers high fluid volume while maintaining low system pressure. Because the hydraulics are not constantly under high pressure, seal failure and leakages are much less likely to occur.
• Industrial-grade hydraulic cylinders ? integrated into every AP Series hydraulic cylinder is a one-piece, pilot-fitted, machined-steel piston wrapped with specially designed, pressure-loaded U-cup piston seals, backups, and wear bands that virtually eliminate any fluid bypass. A micro-smooth chrome rod is machined from high-yield, ground and polished alloy steel and the welded cylinder body exceeds ASTM specifications.
• Super-tall lift carriages ? 53? & 59" tall carriages are considerably taller than most two-post styles, which minimizes the stress placed on the load bearings and columns.
• Varying height stackable adapters ? a 14 piece adapter set is included as standard accessories providing greater vertical pad placement for precise and safe vehicle support.
• Performance Guaranteed - we?re so sure that our lifts will out-perform all others, we?re backing that promise with a full five-year warranty. The best warranty in the business gives you more than just peace of mind; it?s proof that we took a little extra care building your lift and every precaution was takeN to maintain the highest degree of quality, dependability and reliability.
