BendPak HDSO14AX Extended Open-Front Alignment Lift (14,000-lb. Capacity)

Open-Front Design and 14,000 lbs. of Might

• We engineered the HDSO14AX alignment lift without a front crossbar so operators can easily enter and exit from beneath the vehicle. Now the process of front-end adjustment becomes quick and easy. This is a must for busy alignment bays. Additionally, for precise front-lift leveling, nothing beats our patented, adjustable front outrigger tubes. The infinitely adjustable pitch compensates for excessive loads and sloped floors.

Rolling Bridge Jacks

• Rolling bridge jacks turn your alignment lift into an all-purpose four-post lift. Transferring to a different car lift to perform wheel and brake service is not necessary anymore. Now you can change brake rotors right before you align the wheels, all on the same lift. Rolling bridge jacks are a safe and space-saving way to increase shop capability without purchasing more equipment.

Heavy-Duty Aircraft Cable

• BendPak runs four aircraft-quality steel cables (that measure in at a robust 1/2” diameter, 6 x 25), within the columns. They are the ultimate standard for high-quality cable construction and safe lifting.

Slip Plates

• Rear-facing multi-caster slip plates and front-facing turn plates permit precise, free-floating alignment.

Turn Plates

• This alignment lift features two recessed turn plate pockets that let you freely position the corrosion-resistant, galvanized turn plates.

Dual-Hub Cable Sheaves

• BendPak alignment lifts include strong, durable and oversized 10.5” diameter cable sheaves within the runway and cross tubes, as well as 2.25” diameter sheave axles. These powerful elements keep your car lift running for many years, far past the point other brands’ lifts have already given out or required expensive parts replacements.

Adjustable Height Locking Positions

• Alignments are often done by different mechanics in a busy shop. The multiple locking heights allow different people to work on the HDSO14AX alignment lift at the height appropriate for them. Since it’s an open-front design, getting under is easy no matter how tall they are.

Built-In Lubrication

• Grease fittings are an essential component to every car lift we make. They keep the cable sheaves lubricated, so you don’t have to worry about productivity and safety in our design.

Flow Restrictor

• Should anything catastrophic occur in your shop to disrupt the functionality of your lift, we want you to feel confident that BendPak keeps your vehicles and equipment safe. If the hydraulics are cut or lose all pressure, which would be extraordinary, the built-in hydraulic flow divider still ensures a safe, even descent at all times.

Spring-Loaded Safety Locks

• Our fully adjustable locks are also found on the HDSO14AX alignment lift. Springs engage as the lock ascends into position. This design also helps keep the platforms even, even if there’s a tiny slope to your garage flooring.

Push-Button Pneumatic Lock Release

• Air locks make releasing the locks simultaneous, each and every time. The instant release ensures the alignment lift platforms descend evenly.

Secondary Lock System

• A backup lock system protects the alignment system in the event that cable slack is detected. When this occurs, the cable is immediately “grabbed,” and the entire operation ceases immediately.

Integrated Design

• BendPak cables, cable sheaves and airlines run internally throughout the structure. Every one of these parts is susceptible to damage and extra wear if left exposed. We keep the look and feel of this alignment lift clean while protecting the most critical parts and components.

Electric-Hydraulic Power System

• The power unit never needs to be maintained or adjusted. It’s also so easy and safe to use, we recommend it for both home and commercial applications.

Non-skid Runways

• Treaded runways prevent slips and vehicle accidents on the alignment lift. Even when the platforms get oily, slick or wet, the treads will hold the wheel in place.

Longer Approach Ramps

• Because our approach ramps are longer, they make it easier to load low ground-clearance vehicles. So easy, in fact, that you’ll never scratch up the bottom of your car or struggle with the gas pedal to give enough gas without shooting onto the ramp at an unsafe speed. Simply glide on and start aligning.

Flexible Protective Conduit

• The durable conduit that surrounds the airlines and hydraulic hoses prevents damage to the cables. It also keeps you safe from electrical shock.
