Long Wheelbases Finally Have a Lift of Their Own
The BendPak HD-9XL four-post lift is specifically designed to accommodate longer wheelbases, making it an ideal choice for car collectors with classic long vehicles, such as older Chevys, and many other extended-wheelbase vehicles. While it requires slightly more garage space, the increase is minimal. This lift provides a comfortable and secure platform for your prized possessions.
- **Extended Length:** Designed to accommodate longer wheelbases, perfect for classic cars and other extended vehicles.
- **Dual-Hub Cable Sheaves:** Wider, sturdier cable sheaves reduce friction and increase the lifespan of the parking lift, ensuring greater safety and durability.
- **Multi-Level Locking Positions:** Offers numerous lock positions every few inches, providing versatility to fit virtually endless combinations of stacked vehicles based on their height and ceiling clearance.
- **Heavy-Duty Aircraft Cable:** Features powerful, aircraft-quality cables, each with a 14,000-lb. (6,350 kg) capacity. Combined, these cables can lift 640% more than the lift’s stated capacity, ensuring vehicles can be safely left on the raised lift for extended periods.
- **Electric-Hydraulic Power System:** Fully integrated power units are conveniently located on one of the parking lift columns. These units are maintenance-free throughout their entire lifespan.
- **Large Base Plates:** Equipped with stable 10″ x 12″ (25.4 cm x 30.5 cm) base plates, so robust that bolting the lift down is optional, especially when using the caster kit.
- **Optional Caster Kit:** Allows you to add wheels to your four-post lift for easy repositioning. This is particularly useful for maintenance, enabling you to roll the lift across most flat, smooth surfaces, even with a car parked on top.
- **Integrated Design:** All components, including lifting cables, airlines, safety latches, and sheaves, are contained within the posts. This provides a cleaner appearance and protects against accidental damage and wear, also preventing issues when placing lifts side-by-side.
- **Low-Deck Runways:** Low-profile runways accommodate virtually any vehicle type, including low ground-clearance cars and low-suspension trucks, ensuring easy access without having to climb up Mt. Olympus.
- **Longer Approach Ramps:** Extended approach ramps make loading low ground-clearance vehicles faster and safer, preventing potential scratches to the front bumper.
- **Automatic Safety Locks:** Spring-loaded locks engage automatically every few inches as the lift rises, providing continuous safety. They release simultaneously as the lift descends.
- **Secondary Slack-Cable Detection System:** Prevents operators from raising or lowering the parking lift if slack develops in one or more lifting cables, ensuring enhanced safety.
- **ALI Certified:** This product is certified to meet rigorous safety and performance standards.

The lift itself seems solid and works well now that it’s assembled. But the installation was a nightmare — poor instructions, some bolt holes didn’t align perfectly, and I had to fabricate a couple of spacers. If you’re handy, you can make it work.

Finally got tired of crawling under my vehicles on a creeper. This lift changed everything. Setup was straightforward following the manual, and the quality of the steel and hardware is impressive. Hydraulic system is smooth and quiet.
Catherine Evans –
It’s a functional four-post lift at a competitive price. The finish has some rough spots and the hydraulic pump is noisier than I expected. It works, but it’s not as refined as more expensive options.
Christine Young –
I was nervous spending this much on a home garage lift, but this thing is built like a tank. The anti-slip runway surface gives me confidence and the caster kit makes it easy to reposition. Already done three oil changes and a brake job with it.
Edward Lee –
Really happy with the quality and performance of this lift. Took almost a month to arrive though, which was frustrating. Once installed, it works flawlessly. Would give 5 stars if shipping was faster.
Lisa Hill –
This four-post lift is exactly what my garage needed. Installation took about a weekend with a buddy helping, but the end result is fantastic. Locks engage smoothly at every position and the lift feels incredibly stable. My truck sits up there like it’s on solid ground.
Gregory Sanchez –
Great build quality and solid performance. The approach ramps could be a little longer for low-clearance vehicles, but otherwise this is an outstanding lift for the price.
Nicole Campbell –
Overall a very solid four-post lift. Build quality is great and it feels very safe. Only reason for 4 stars is the instructions could be much better — had to figure out a few steps on my own. But the lift itself is excellent.
Ronald Rivera –
The lift itself is fantastic — heavy duty, smooth operation, great safety features. But assembly was a real project. Plan for a full weekend with help. Once it’s up, though, it’s perfect.
Janet Nguyen –
Really like this lift overall. Sturdy, safe, and well-built. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the hydraulic fluid wasn’t included and the manual didn’t specify the type clearly. Minor issue for an otherwise great product.
Eric Bennett –
Installed this in my 2-car garage and it transformed my workspace. The runways are wide enough for my full-size truck and the lifting speed is smooth and consistent. Safety locks click in positively. This is professional-grade equipment at a fair price.
Rebecca Thomas –
Went from a cluttered single-car garage to a fully functional two-car setup thanks to this lift. Park one car on top, work on another below. The installation guide could be better, but the product itself is outstanding.
