The Four-Post Lift with Standard Width and Extra Height
The BendPak HD-9XW is a four-post lift designed for garages with ample ceiling height, offering a unique combination of standard width and extra rise. This model allows for high-rise vehicles to be parked on the lower level, maximizing space. Unlike narrower lifts, the HD-9XW comfortably accommodates wide-body trucks and SUVs, eliminating concerns about scratching mirrors or doors. With an impressive 82 inches (208.3 cm) of runway rise, it lifts heavy machines higher, providing more room for taller mechanics to work underneath and for parking high-clearance vehicles.
The HD-9XW is renowned for its versatility and user-friendliness, making it a top choice for serious DIY enthusiasts and professional shop owners with dedicated service garages. Its robust design and numerous built-in safety features, including slack-cable locks, single-point lock release, and non-slip runways, ensure maximum safety. The lift is fully certified to the ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2011 standard, a testament to its quality and reliability, which is further backed by BendPak’s trademarked warranty.
For those requiring even greater width, BendPak also offers the super-wide HD-9SW lift.

Amy Davis –
Compared this to lifts costing twice as much at my buddy’s shop and honestly can’t tell the difference in build quality. Everything about this lift screams durability. The approach ramps, drip trays, and caster kit being included is a nice bonus.
Elizabeth Ramirez –
Six months in and this lift has been flawless. Use it at least twice a week for various projects. The hydraulic pump is quiet, the locks engage cleanly, and the runways have plenty of length for my extended cab truck.
Angela Hernandez –
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.
Katherine Ward –
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.
Amy Garcia –
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.
Christopher Murphy –
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.
Michelle Baker –
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.
Christine Gray –
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.
David Torres –
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.
Dennis Murphy –
The lift is excellent quality and works great. However, the installation manual is poorly translated and some diagrams are hard to follow. YouTube helped fill in the gaps. Product itself deserves 5 stars.
Nancy Wilson –
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.
Ryan Adams –
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.
