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.

Heavy-duty wheel alignment starts with the BendPak HDS18EA, an 18,000-lbs. capacity alignment lift built for trucks, commercial vehicles, and fleet service. As BendPak’s highest-capacity alignment lift, the HDS18EA combines four-post lifting strength with integrated front turn plates and rear slip plates to help technicians perform wheel alignments with better access, stability, and control.
18,000-lb. Alignment Strength for Fleet-Size Workloads
The BendPak HDS-18EA Heavy-Duty Alignment Lift is built for shops that need alignment capability at the top end of the vehicle weight range. With 18,000-lb. lifting capacity, this four-post truck alignment lift can handle heavy trucks, SUVs, commercial vehicles, and smaller performance cars when one bay needs to stay ready for almost anything. If floor space is too valuable for multiple specialty lifts, the HDS-18EA gives shops the extra capacity to take on larger alignment jobs without giving up BendPak safety, runway durability, or service flexibility. It is the alignment lift for facilities that need to say yes to more vehicles and keep the bay earning.
Turn Plates and Slip Plates for Heavy-Duty Alignment Work
Rear-seated, free-floating slip plates help keep suspensions relaxed during wheel alignment work, reducing the need for old-school wheel jacking methods that can introduce flex and tire-wall pressure changes. This setup helps technicians perform more accurate alignments on heavier vehicles while keeping the process cleaner and more controlled. Galvanized, corrosion-resistant front turn plates use dual recessed pockets to support easier vehicle positioning and alignment equipment setup. Whether the job involves trucks, SUVs, sports cars, or race cars, the HDS-18EA gives technicians the built-in alignment hardware needed to work efficiently across a broad vehicle mix.
Supersized Sheaves and 5/8-Inch High-Tensile Lifting Cables
The HDS-18EA is engineered around BendPak’s heaviest alignment lift hardware. Supersized 12-inch diameter cable sheaves and massive 4-inch diameter sheave axles help support smooth operation and long service life under demanding loads. Four stainless steel 5/8-inch high-tensile lifting cables hoist the platform while remaining internally routed and protected inside the lift structure. Grease nipples on every sheave and axle help keep the lifting system operating smoothly with routine maintenance, while enclosed cables, airlines, and safety latches help protect critical systems from daily shop exposure.
18K Safety Systems and Heavy-Duty Shop Confidence
The HDS-18EA includes spring-loaded automatic safety locks, multiple adjustable locking positions, and a push-button pneumatic lock release for efficient operation. A secondary lock system stays on guard for cable slack, while an integrated hydraulic flow restrictor helps support safe, controlled lowering in the unlikely event of hydraulic failure. A single hydraulic under-runway cylinder, maintenance-free power system, conveniently located controls, durable powder-coat finish, matte-finish runways, and 12-inch by 12-inch base plates round out a heavy-duty alignment lift built for commercial confidence. Optional rolling jacks can expand the system for wheel, brake, and suspension service.
