Open-Front Capability in a Powerful Four-Post Lift
The BendPak HDSO14P is an innovative open-front four-post lift designed for easy vehicle access and enhanced productivity. With its clear entry design, operators can effortlessly move beneath the vehicle, making front-end adjustments quick and trouble-free. This model is particularly ideal for busy alignment bays. Boasting a robust 14,000-lb. (6,350 kg) lifting capacity and extended runways, the HDSO14P is versatile enough to service a wide range of vehicles, from compact cars to full-size trucks.
- **14,000 lbs. Capacity:** Capable of lifting a broad spectrum of vehicles from small cars to full-size trucks.
- **Open-Front Design:** Eliminates the front crossbar for clear, easy vehicle access and improved operator movement underneath the lift, ideal for alignment work.
- **Patented, Adjustable Front Outrigger Tubes:** Provides infinitely adjustable pitch to compensate for uneven floors and excessive loads, ensuring precise front-lift leveling.
- **Dependable Design:** Features four heavy-duty, high-quality stainless steel lifting cables and a single hydraulic cylinder mounted discreetly underneath the runway for a durable, low-maintenance lifting system.
- **Oversize Dual-Hub Cable Sheaves:** Large 10.5-inch (26.7 cm) diameter cable sheaves and massive 2.25-inch (5.7 cm) diameter sheave axles minimize wear and extend the lifespan of critical components, reducing service costs.
- **Multi-Level Locking Positions:** Equipped with multiple adjustable height locking positions for flexible parking and a convenient push-button pneumatic safety lock control for simultaneous release of all four independent safety locks.
- **Heavy-Duty Aircraft Cable:** Includes four 1/2-inch (1.27 cm) diameter, 6 x 25 stainless steel lifting cables, each rated at 14,400 lbs. (6,532 kg), providing over 411% of the lift’s maximum capacity for superior safety and resistance to abrasion and fatigue. All cables are fully enclosed within the lift structure.
- **Maintenance-Free Electric Hydraulic Power System:** Ensures ultimate dependability with conveniently located controls.
- **Large Base Plates:** 12-inch x 10-inch (30.5 x 25.4 cm) base plates provide a solid and stable foundation.
- **Longer Approach Ramps:** Designed with extended length to facilitate easier loading of low ground-clearance vehicles.
- **Integrated Design:** All lifting cables, airlines, safety latches, and sheaves are fully enclosed within the lift’s structure for a clean appearance and protection from shop conditions.
- **Integrated Hydraulic Flow Restrictor:** Provides a controlled and safe descent in the unlikely event of a hose rupture.
- **Automatic Safety Locks:** Spring-loaded safety locks automatically engage during raising. A secondary lock system acts as a slack-cable device for added safety in case of cable failure.
- **Optional 7,000-lb. Capacity Rolling Jacks (RJ7W):** Available for full wheel and brake service, these jacks sit on the inner edges of the runways, feature telescoping arms, frame contact pads, three safety-lock positions, and stackable truck/van adapters.
- **ALI Certified:** Ensures compliance with rigorous safety and performance standards.

Betty Stewart –
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.
Anthony Hall –
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.
Jack Perez –
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.
Jessica Baker –
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.
Samuel Hernandez –
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.
Katherine Bailey –
I run a small side business doing maintenance for friends and family. This lift handles everything from sedans to light trucks without breaking a sweat. The powder coat finish still looks new after months of use.
James Taylor –
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.
Susan Collins –
This lift completely changed how I work on my vehicles. No more ramps and jack stands. The safety system gives me peace of mind and the whole unit feels overbuilt in the best way possible. Highly recommend.
Amanda Evans –
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.
Anthony Ward –
Bought this primarily for double parking in my garage but ended up using it for service work too. The clearance underneath is great and the approach ramps make driving on easy. My wife can even load her car up without issues.
Catherine Carter –
After months of research, I pulled the trigger on this lift and couldn’t be happier. The build quality is top-notch — heavy gauge steel, clean welds, and a powder coat that looks like it’ll last. Raised my SUV for the first time and had zero concerns about stability.
Jonathan Rogers –
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.
Christine Cox –
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.
Emily Bailey –
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.
Linda Williams –
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.
Richard Sanchez –
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.
