Bendpak scissor lift anyone use or own?

[cantflip]

they are actually common enough if you work on that type of equipment

I sold snapon for about ten minutes in 01... I sold 2-3 of these

I was very impressed by them... but they cost every penny the price of a 2 post, so they only make sense if you dont have the ability to install the 2 post.

Wow.

Here's another, this time using 6. As you can see, the lift capacity is fairly high at 18,000 pounds per column.

FWIW, I just got this info in an email:

6,000 lbs Single Post Lift: Automotive Shop Equipment - Eagle Equipment

Looks interesting. Would still need storage space for it.

You forgot the pic...

Unusual... I could see this solving part of Tink's desire... not storage though. With a big warehouse floor and no dedicated space... ok, but cost as much as a 2 post.

23 hundred dollars each. Times 4? Ummm.., no thanks.
And where do you store four of them.
Good for MTA. Not good for me,
Plus you'd have to call your wife and two neighbors to get the car up n down...

That's a single post as opposed to a two post . Look at the lifting pads. A nice portable unit if you want to use it in multiple bays. Not sure that I would be comfortable lifting my car on that though.

Here's a video of the large 4/6/8 post lift

I stand corrected. And unmoved.
An NYB on that thing?
Minimum safety standards are capacity + 50%

Liked the Leno demonstration... Turtle mode would have been real nice...

I do wonder... what happens if you let a battery die during the job and lose sync...

Finally got out to my shop to load Goldie on the lift for the first time. Very happy, the lift was perfectly balanced from the get go, no adjustments were needed.

What took you so long?

Happy Lifting.

Thanks. Easter took up my Saturday and Sunday. I left Monday on a short get away with my wife. I worked today and got done early so to the shop I went. It was driving nuts not to get over to the shop.

If you and your car were in a lift commercial, I'd buy it!! Seriously though, congrats and thanks for sharing.

The lift or the car? I'd take Goldie!

A modern Ram on my MaxJax...no problem!

The lift!
Goldie is one of the prettiest C bodies I have seen. She could be in a commercial for sure.

Doesn't it seem like there would be excessive loading on the 2 rollers ( left?). Seems like a lot of PSI on concrete in a small area.
I suppose they are larger than a floor jack's wheels in surface area, and jacks hold the weight of half a car. I just would never feel safe under one of these with 5k lbs on it.

Look at motorized pallet jacks used in whse's the long ones that hold 2 pallets they put that kind of weight on wheels like that with 6-7000 lbs. zooming up and down isles.

zooming up and down isles.
