BendPak's HD-Series 4-post lifts are engineered to meet the strenuous
demands of even your toughest professional lifting jobs. In particular, this
HD-14 is the kind of sturdy beast you want as the backbone of your shop.
Designed into every HD-Series lift is a laundry list of key features as long
as your arm to ensure that BendPak is the absolute best you can buy. Our
competitors might say we overdo it, but we don't include components for the
sake of frills and flash. We design our lifts with the attributes we feel
should come standard with every lift—the kind of lift we would want to (and
do) own. You can always count on BendPak lifts for increased durability,
safety and productivity. Spend less time worrying about what you're working
under and more time doing what you love. Our commercial-grade lifts are second
to none and recognized the world-over as benchmarks of dependability and
quality.
The HD-14 is the standard version of the HD-14 series, meaning that
it comes with a mid-range to long-style ramp. If you are looking for the same
great lifting power but with a shorter or longer ramp, consider the HD-14SS or
the limo-long HD-14X, respectively.
Dependable design
4 heavy-duty, high-quality,
stainless steel lifting cables and a single hydraulic cylinder mounted
underneath the runway makes this lift the most durable, maintenance-free
lifting system on the market.
Dual-hub cable sheaves
Reduce stress and fatigue
on the axles, sheaves and cables. We insist on using dual-hub cable sheaves,
even if they cost us more to make. When you buy BendPak, we throw in peace of
mind as a free gift.
Multi-level locking positions
The HD-14 is
equipped with multiple adjustable height locking positions for variable-height
parking. A convenient push-button pneumatic safety lock control releases all
four independent safety locks simultaneously.
Heavy-duty aircraft cable
Each lift is supplied
with 4 high-quality stainless steel lifting cables, rated at 14,400 lbs. each.
The combined rating of these cables is more than 411% of the maximum lifting
capacity of the entire lift! And we make sure it looks tidy too—all lifting
cables are fully enclosed within the lift structure itself.
Electric / hydraulic power system
We incorporate
maintenance-free electric hydraulic power systems into each lift for ultimate
dependability, and all controls are conveniently located within close reach.
Large base plates
12" x 12" base plates provide a
solid foundation for the HD-14.
Single hydraulic cylinder
Each lift is equipped
with a single hydraulic cylinder, hidden away under the runway for minimum
exposure and maximum reliable performance. Our industrial-grade hydraulic
cylinders feature a single-piece, pilot fitted, machined steel piston, wrapped
with specially designed, pressure loaded U-cup piston seals, backups and wear
bands to virtually eliminate fluid bypass. The micro-smooth chrome-rod is
machined from high-yield, ground and polished C-1045/50 micro-alloy steel and
plated to a minimum of .001" diametrically, to ensure superior cylinder
operation and life. The superior-design high durometer, mechanically-loaded
rod seals make rod leakage is a thing of the past while a specially formulated
abrasion-resistant urethane rod wiper provides exclusion protection. The
welded cylinder body is made from robust steel tubing produced to exceed ASTM
specifications. This combination of superb base material and superior
processing ensures that the cylinders remain straight, smooth and last a very
long time. An integrated flow restrictor provides a controlled descent in the
case of an unexpected hose rupture.
Durable powder-coat finish
All HD-Series lifts
feature a durable powder-coat finish that gives the metal a high-quality,
extremely durable finish which can withstand even the harshest environmental
or chemical conditions. Unlike other companies that claim to powder coat, we
take pride in our meticulous 10-step process. First, all parts are visually
inspected before being sandblasted. Afterwards, the parts are washed in our
5-stage phosphate tanks that can accommodate parts up to 25' long. Once
cleaned, they're immediately dried to avoid rust production, and then
outgassed. Outgassing pre-bakes the parts in a curing oven, reducing the
possibility of blemishes that may be hiding in the pores of the metal. If not
properly outgassed, imperfections in the metal may bubble during the curing
process and most likely will cause chips in the powder. After the parts are
washed and outgassed, any surfaces and / or threaded holes that need to be
masked or plugged, are done so with high-temperature masking tape and silicone
plugs. Next, the parts are given a quick thinner wipe to remove any light
debris or fingerprints, before being hung on an electrostatically grounded
conveyor line. The powder is finally applied using an electrostatic spray gun.
The powder "sticks" to the surface in a fashion similar to how dust sticks to
a television screen. Once the parts are powder coated, the carts are rolled
into our curing oven and baked at 400° F for 45 minutes.
Non-skid runways
Gives you maximum grip, even
when the runway surface is wet or oily.
Three runway lengths to choose from
Take your
pick. You're currently looking at the HD-14, which comes with a mid- to
long-style ramp. If you are looking for a shorter or longer ramp, consider
either the HD-14SS or the extra-long HD-14X, respectively.
Integrated design
Lifting cables, airlines,
safety latches and sheaves are all fully enclosed.
Longer approach ramps
These approach ramps were
designed a little longer to help when loading low ground clearance vehicles.
It's the little bit that makes a big difference.
Automatic safety locks
Aircraft-quality stainless
steel and aluminum pneumatic cylinders release all 4 locks simultaneously with
the simple push of a button. The spring-loaded safety locks automatically
engage continuously as the lift is raised. For added safety, a secondary lock
system acts as a slack-cable device to engage in the unlikely event of cable
failure.
