All models in the 10AP Series share the same advanced features: 10,000 lb. capacity, Low-Pro™ arms, Bi-Metric™ swing arms, triple-telescoping arm design, and an exclusive Automatic Arm Restraint System (AARS) that prevents unplanned arm movement during vehicle service.

A New Paradigm in Lifting: Built for Modern Vehicles

Auto repair shops working on the latest technology need to be equipped with the latest and most advanced tools to service them properly. The BendPak 10AP Series features 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.

BendPak's 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.

New Technology for Increased Operator Safety

Throughout the past few decades, the automotive industry has always been one of the most receptive industries to emerging technologies. Technology has already redefined the way cars use fuel, with electric, hybrid, and solar energy systems beginning to displace the internal combustion engine as the driving force of the future. Forecasters are projecting Electric Vehicles (EVs) to account for a large percentage of all vehicles produced and sold in the near future, and EVs weigh considerably more than traditional gasoline or diesel-powered vehicles.

Those extra pounds have important implications for mechanic safety when vehicles are raised in the air for service. Extra vehicle weight introduces a lot more stresses and forces on automotive lift components, especially when two-post lifts are being considered. The BendPak 10APX was specifically engineered to address these concerns.

Electric Vehicles Are Getting Larger & Heavier

With the emergence of heavier EVs as the impetus for the new 10AP design, technicians are now able to service electric vehicles more efficiently, including trucks, vans, and sports cars. In addition to providing greater under-car access thanks to extremely low-profile arms and extra-wide column spacing, BendPak engineers focused on the use of high tensile-strength steels for all critical load-holding components.

The increased tensile strength allowed BendPak engineers to design swing arms with greater telescoping movement and tube profiles better suited for use on low ground clearance vehicles and outer-positioned EV vehicle lifting points. Safety-critical design enhancements are introduced throughout the lift.

Electric vehicles need newer lifts to safely lift them due to the fact that they're heavier because of the added batteries, reinforced framework, suspension, and the metal armor which protects the battery. From reinforced construction to purposefully engineered design features, the 10APX is the perfect EV service solution. Each 10AP model provides greater under-car access thanks to extremely low-profile arms and extra-wide column spacing; increased arm travel and minimum arm retraction allow for more versatile lift support positioning, which is perfectly suited for electric vehicle service.

Automatic Arm Restraint System (AARS) 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.

With a full 360-degrees of load-holding grip, the heavily forged-steel design of this patented and exclusive arm restraint system secures the lift arms firmly in place with over 2,000 pounds of load-holding 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 allows for precise non-shifting action, and a handy quick-release operator lever allows for the instant release of the clamping pressure.

Triple-Telescoping Nested Swing Arm Design

Revolutionary and patented 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 patented 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 and even beyond the arm pin, resulting in more achievable retraction and extension.

Front Arm Reach: 24.5" minimum / 50" maximum
Rear Arm Reach: 32" minimum / 59.25" maximum
Max Load Per Arm: 2,500 lbs.

Low Profile Arms for Hard-to-Reach Lift Points

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. The minimum pad height is just 4", making this lift ideal for servicing lowered vehicles and sports cars.

Screw Pads & Adapters That Adjust to Your Needs

Double-telescoping screw adapters feature gouge and tear-resistant polyurethane pads that can be screwed up or down to ensure level lifting in all conditions. This provides more precise and secure frame engagement, ensuring technician safety. The screw pad adjustment offers 2" of vertical travel, allowing you to fine-tune contact points with precision.

The optional 2.5" and 5" stackable adapters (included) 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 patented 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. An ergonomic single-point release allows operators to effortlessly release the safety locks during lift descent—literally with a push of a single finger. It's that easy.

Safety locks in each column are spaced every 3 inches, providing secure load-holding at multiple heights and ensuring maximum safety during vehicle service.

Bi-Metric™ Swing Arms: Symmetric or Asymmetric in Seconds

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. This flexibility is critical in busy shops servicing everything from compact cars to full-size trucks and vans.
