Revolutionizing Vehicle Lifting: BendPak's AP Series
In the ever-evolving landscape of auto repair, staying ahead requires state-of-the-art tools that evolve alongside the vehicles they service. BendPak introduces the AP series, a groundbreaking design amalgamating the best traits of current two-post lifts into an entirely new car lift engineering concept. Crafted for extreme use, heavy loads, and operator safety, this series redefines the standard for two-post lifts.
10AP Series Highlights:
- Versatile installation: Wide or narrow options in a single configurable package
- Expandable top beam and Bi-Metric™ arms for symmetric or asymmetric lifting
- Simple yet sophisticated design minimizes service and maintenance costs
- Ensures lower operating expenses and heightened productivity
Automatic Arm Restraint System (ASARS): Traditionally, swing arm restraints struggled with sudden shifts during vehicle service. BendPak's AP series tackles this with a robust Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System (ASARS). This revolutionary system, bolstered for heavy vehicle service, secures lift arms with over 2000-pounds of load-holding force. With a full 360-degree load-holding grip, this adaptive system minimizes operator involvement and delivers unmatched holding power. A distinctive power-hold design ensures precise non-shifting action, complemented by a quick-release operator lever for instant clamping pressure release.
Triple-Telescoping Nested Swing Arm Design: Patented swing arms tailored for varied vehicle lifting points, retracting shorter and extending farther than traditional arms. The innovative three-stage arms, with a patented nesting feature, provide greater retraction and farther reach. Inner sliding arm movement is unrestricted, enhancing lift arm positioning options.
Low Profile Arms: BendPak's exclusive Low-Pro™ swing arms feature telescoping channels with a shorter profile and dropped-end pad receivers. This design improves serviceability on lowered chassis-height vehicles, offering increased versatility and reduced risk of damage to vehicle components.
Screw Pads and Adapters: Double-telescoping screw adapters with gouge and tear-resistant polyurethane pads ensure level lifting in all conditions. Adjustable for precise frame engagement, with stackable adapters for enhanced support. Included 2.5" and 5" stackable adapters provide greater vertical pad placement. The drop-in design allows for quick and easy use, and two column-mounted racks keep adapters organized and secure.
Innovative Safety Lock System: A patented automatic safety lock system dramatically improves operator efficiency and safety. Automatic safety lock engagement during all lift rising operations, coupled with an ergonomic single-point release, allows operators to effortlessly release safety locks during lift descent with a single finger.
Bi-Metric™ Swing Arms: Exclusive Bi-Metric™ adaptable swing arms enable symmetric or asymmetric configurations without switching arms. This 2-in-1 design accelerates vehicle servicing.
