BendPak 4 Post Lift Installation

Here's a quick look at a BendPak HD-14X 4 Post Lift that I fitted today. The lift was installed for John O'Donnell at O'Donnell's Garage, Bramblestown, Dungavan, Co. Kilkenny - not Dungarvan Waterford :-)

The lift has a 14,000lb (6.350 tonne) lifting capacity and the platforms are a huge 6.2 meters long. If you ever wanted a lift for long wheel base vans then this is the one and it has lots left over. The BendPak lifts are simple in design, very well made and very well finished. The platforms have a non-skid surface and good sized approach ramps. The left hand side platform (passenger side) is moveable so you can slide it in or out depending on the wheel base of the vehicle you are working on. They use good strong 1/2" diameter aircraft grade cables and a pneumatic safety lock release system.

On the inside of the platforms is a rail that runs the length of the lift so adding jacking beams is not a problem. It also uses an independent backup 'slack cable' safety latch. For more information on this lift, take a look at the lift on our website here. If you would like a quote, brochure or more info. on this lift, you can contact me on 086-1727569 or by email at info@autoquip.ie

The purpose of this blog is to freely share information to people in the garage equipment industry who are looking for information on equipment whether it's buying new, servicing old or just to talk in general about the pros and cons of certain types of equipment.

It also gives people the oportunity to freely share experiences they've had with equipment, talk about problems or issues they've had and find out quick fixes you would otherwise never have known about.

So, on with the show. Hope you find something of interset.
