Equipment Delivery Options
At Wholesale Lifts, our commitment is to provide you with the best customer service. We offer you various delivery options so that you can choose the one that best fits your needs.
I have the equipment to unload my order
Do you have a forklift, a high-capacity hoist, or a tractor in your facility? In that case, this option may be the one for you.
What to keep in mind when choosing this option:
- The most popular 2-post lifts (with 9,000 lb and 10,000 lb capacity) have a shipping weight of approximately 1,400 lbs and 1,900 lbs, respectively. On the other hand, a 15,000 lb capacity 2-post lift has a 2,700 lb shipping weight.
- Given the packaged lift and hydraulic power unit’s weight, they cannot be unloaded from the trailer by hand. Simply put, IT IS MANDATORY TO USE A SUITABLE FORKLIFT OR HOIST FOR UNLOADING THE LIFT.
- You are solely responsible for unloading your equipment from the truck. The truck driver cannot do this for you.
- Wholesale Lifts uses trustworthy freight companies to make the deliveries. It is your responsibility to be present on the scheduled date and time of the delivery.
- There will be a receiver charge, which varies by carrier (typically $100+), if the truck driver arrives at the designated location and the customer does not have the necessary means ready to unload the lift.
In case you do not have the necessary equipment to unload the equipment do not worry. Wholesale Lifts offers other delivery options.
Pick up at one of our warehouses
Do you have a hitch trailer to transport your lift? If so, then this might be the best option.
What to keep in mind when choosing this option:
- Wholesale Lifts and our brands’ warehouses have the means to load your car lift into an appropriate trailer.
- Given the weight and dimensions of car lifts, we cannot load lifts directly into vehicles or trucks. To safely transport your lift, you will need a hitch trailer.
Will this option not work for you? Perhaps the warehouse is too far from your location? If so, keep reading.
Dock Hold from LTL Carrier
Think of this option as a variation of the previous one. Even so, this could be an excellent alternative to picking up the lift at one of our warehouses. Instead, we can take the car lift to a warehouse closer to your location.
You will still need a hitch trailer to transport the lift for this option, but you can save on freight costs if you have an LTL Carrier close to your shop.
Ship directly to a local installer
Neither of the above delivery options suits you? Then we have the solution.
We will dispatch your lifts directly to a local installer in your area. This way, you will not have to worry about anything since the installer would be in charge of the logistics.
What to keep in mind when choosing this option:
- You still have to pay the freight fee to the installer (or dock hold for the installer to pick up the lift)
- We will quote the installation fee before you pay for the lift so that you can get an idea of the total amount to pay (car lift + freight + installation)
Do you have another delivery option in mind? In that case, do not hesitate to contact us. At Wholesale Lifts, we are open to all kinds of solutions, as long as they comply with the relevant local regulations and safety standards.

From heavy-duty trucks and buses to farm equipment and commercial vehicles, the BendPak HDS18E delivers 18,000-lbs. of four-post lifting capacity. Its strong runway design and professional-grade construction make it a versatile choice for shops that service everything from low-profile cars to large fleet vehicles.
18,000-lb. Four-Post Strength for Trucks, Vans, and SUVs
The BendPak HDS18E Four-Post Lift is the heavy-duty step up for shops that have outgrown standard vehicle lifts but do not need a full 27,000-lb. or 40,000-lb. commercial truck platform. With 18,000 lbs. of lifting capacity, this professional four-post lift is built for mid-size trucks, vans, SUVs, service vehicles, and select industrial or farming equipment that demand more strength, runway length, and lifting confidence.
This is the lift for shops that want serious truck service capability without oversizing the bay for equipment they do not need. The HDS18E brings BendPak's heavy-duty engineering, safer runway support, durable lifting components, and practical day-to-day workflow into a package that bridges the gap between light-duty service lifts and massive commercial fleet lifts.
Extended Runways Built for Longer Wheelbases
The HDS18E uses extended 263-inch runways to accommodate longer wheelbases and give larger vehicles more room to load, settle, and position correctly. As the first model in this heavier-duty group to offer extended runways, it gives shops a more capable platform for trucks, vans, and work vehicles that need additional front-to-back support.
Treaded runway surfaces help tires maintain grip during loading and service, even in busy environments where shop floors and vehicle tires can get slick. Combined with the lift's broad stance and heavy-duty four-post structure, the runway design helps create a stable service platform for demanding truck and SUV applications.
Massive Sheaves, Cables, and Hydraulic Muscle
BendPak equips the HDS18E with supersized 12-inch diameter cable sheaves, galvanized lifting cables, grease nipples, and a single hydraulic under-runway cylinder. These heavy-duty components are designed to work together for smooth lifting, lower maintenance demands, and long service life under repeated shop use.
The maintenance-free electric hydraulic power system and integrated flow restrictor help support controlled operation, while fully enclosed lifting cables help protect critical lift components. It is built with the kind of hardware heavy vehicle service demands, not the kind that starts sweating when a truck rolls in.
Built-In Safety for Professional Lift Service
The HDS18E includes spring-loaded safety locks, multiple adjustable height locking positions, and a second lock system that stays on constant guard during lifting operations. These mechanical safety features help keep the lift secure once raised and give technicians the stable platform they need for inspections, repair, maintenance, and wheel service.
Convenient operator controls, 12-inch by 12-inch base plates, durable powder coat, matte-finish runways, and optional rolling bridge jacks round out a lift built for professional truck and SUV service. For shops that want to move into heavier work without jumping straight to the largest BendPak fleet lifts, the HDS18E is the practical heavyweight.
Key Features
18,000-lb. Capacity
Heavy enough for trucks, vans, SUVs, and select industrial equipment, the HDS18E gives shops a meaningful step up from standard service lifts without jumping to oversized fleet capacity.
Extended 263-Inch Runways
Long runways help accommodate larger wheelbases and give work vehicles more room to load and position securely before service begins.
12-Inch Cable Sheaves
Supersized cable sheaves and galvanized lifting cables support smooth, durable lifting performance in demanding shop environments.
Dual Lock Security
Spring-loaded safety locks and a second lock system help keep the lift secure once raised, giving technicians more confidence under heavy vehicles.
Truck-Service Ready
The HDS18E is built for shops moving deeper into truck, SUV, van, and service fleet maintenance without overbuying into 27K or 40K capacity.
Rolling Jack Compatible
Optional rolling bridge jacks expand wheel-service capability, making the HDS18E more useful for brake, tire, suspension, and axle work.
