Product Overview

BendPak HDSO14-AX Extended Open Front ALI 4 Post Alignment Lift 14,000 lb – New Gray

The BendPak HDSO14-AX extended open front alignment lift delivers 14,000 lbs. of lifting capacity with the versatility and precision that professional alignment shops demand. This ALI-certified four-post lift combines an innovative open-front design with heavy-duty construction, advanced leveling systems, and integrated alignment accessories—all engineered to streamline your workflow and maximize bay efficiency. Whether you're performing complex four-wheel alignments on full-size trucks or two-wheel adjustments on passenger cars, the HDSO14-AX provides the platform, stability, and features to get the job done right, every time.

Unmatched Open-Front Access and 14,000 lbs. of Lifting Power

BendPak engineered the HDSO14-AX alignment lift without a front crossbar, creating unrestricted access beneath the vehicle from the front. This open-front design transforms the way technicians perform front-end adjustments—no more crawling around obstacles or working in cramped spaces. Entry and exit are fast and effortless, making this lift a must-have for high-volume alignment bays where speed and comfort directly impact profitability. The patented adjustable front outrigger tubes provide infinitely adjustable pitch compensation, ensuring precise front-lift leveling even on sloped floors or when handling excessive front-axle loads.

With a maximum lifting capacity of 14,000 lbs. (7,000 lbs. per axle), a 70-inch max rise, and 60-second full-rise time, the HDSO14-AX handles everything from compact cars to full-size trucks with ease. The lift offers 13 locking positions spaced every 4 inches, giving technicians the flexibility to work at the height that's most comfortable and efficient for them.

Integrated Alignment Accessories for Precision Adjustments

The HDSO14-AX comes standard with heavy-duty turn plates and integrated rear slip-plates, enabling precise, free-floating alignment work without the need to purchase separate equipment. The rear-facing multi-caster slip plates and front-facing turn plates allow wheels to move naturally during alignment procedures, ensuring accurate readings and adjustments.

The lift features two recessed turn plate pockets with multiple positioning options, so you can freely position the corrosion-resistant, galvanized turn plates to accommodate different vehicle wheelbases and configurations. The HDSO14-AX supports four-wheel alignment for wheelbases ranging from 89 inches (minimum) to 156 inches (maximum), and two-wheel alignment up to 182 inches. For optimal safety, the lift requires a minimum wheelbase of 140 inches at rated capacity, with reduced capacity ratings available for shorter wheelbases down to 80 inches at 25% capacity.

Heavy-Duty Construction and Engineered Safety Systems

BendPak builds every HDSO14-AX to last. The lift features dual-hub cable sheaves oversized 10.5-inch diameter sheaves mounted on robust 2.25-inch diameter axles housed within the runway and cross tubes. These heavy-duty components keep your lift running smoothly for years, long after competing brands have required costly repairs or replacements.

Four aircraft-quality steel cables measuring 1/2-inch diameter (6 x 25 construction) run within the columns, setting the ultimate standard for high-quality cable construction and safe lifting. These cables connect to rugged 1-3/8-inch roller axles and oversize self-lubricating cable sheaves, all fully enclosed within the structure to protect against damage and wear.

The lift's multi-position safety locks in each column feature spring-loaded engagement that automatically engages as the platforms ascend. This design also helps keep the platforms level, even on slightly uneven floors. A push-button pneumatic lock release system disengages all locks simultaneously for smooth, even descent. BendPak also includes a secondary lock system that acts as a backup: if cable slack is detected, the system immediately grabs the cable and halts operation, protecting both your vehicle and your investment.

Should the hydraulics ever lose pressure—an extraordinary event—the built-in hydraulic flow restrictor ensures a safe, controlled descent at all times. Internal "Anti-Sway" UHMW slider blocks in each column further stabilize the lift and reduce lateral movement during operation.

Electric-Hydraulic Power System and Low Maintenance Design

The electric-hydraulic power system on the HDSO14-AX operates on 220 VAC / 60 Hz / 1-Phase power and requires no regular maintenance or adjustments. A single hydraulic cylinder mounted underneath the runway provides smooth, reliable lifting with minimal noise—just 45 dB during operation. The system is so easy and safe to use that it's equally at home in busy commercial shops or professional home garages.

Grease fittings are strategically positioned throughout the lift to keep cable sheaves and moving parts properly lubricated. This built-in lubrication system ensures long-term productivity and safety without constant attention. All cables, cable sheaves, and airlines run internally throughout the lift structure, protecting the most critical components from damage and keeping the overall design clean and professional-looking.

The lift's automatic leveling system and adjustable locking positions make it easy for different technicians to work at their preferred height. Since it's an open-front design, getting underneath is quick and comfortable no matter the operator's size.

Important: An air supply ( minimum: 30 psi / 3 CFM ) is required for the safety-lock mechanisms to disengage. It is the responsibility of the end-user to provide, install, and maintain the air supply.

Operator Convenience and Vehicle Protection

BendPak designed the HDSO14-AX with the operator in mind. The 199-inch long runways feature a non-skid treaded surface that prevents wheel slippage even when platforms get oily, slick, or wet. The runways are 20.5 inches wide with 45 inches of space between them, providing ample clearance for a wide variety of vehicle types.

Longer approach ramps make loading low ground-clearance vehicles safer and easier—no more scraping undercarriages or struggling to modulate the gas pedal. Vehicles glide smoothly onto the lift without drama or risk. The runways also include a rail-kit for optional accessories, giving you the flexibility to add rolling jacks, drip trays, or other equipment as your shop's needs evolve.

Flexible protective conduit surrounds all airlines and hydraulic hoses, preventing damage to cables and protecting operators from electrical shock. The lift's minimum runway height is just 7.625 inches, while the max lifting height reaches 77.625 inches, giving you plenty of working room underneath for alignment adjustments, undercarriage inspections, and more.

Optional Rolling Bridge Jacks – Maximize Your Investment

Transform your HDSO14-AX alignment lift into an all-purpose service lift by adding optional 7,000-lb. capacity rolling bridge jacks (Model RBJ7000). These jacks allow you to perform wheel service, brake work, suspension repairs, and alignments all on the same lift—no need to transfer the vehicle to a different bay. Change brake rotors, swap wheels, or replace suspension components right before you align, all without moving the car. It's a safe, space-saving way to increase shop capability and throughput without purchasing additional equipment.
