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.

Open-front access makes the BendPak HDSO14AX a 14,000-lbs. capacity alignment lift built for shops that need easier access to front turn plates, suspension components, and undercar service points. Integrated front turn plates and rear slip plates help wheels respond smoothly during alignment adjustments, while the open-front design improves technician access around the front of the vehicle.
Open-Front Alignment Access Without the Front-End Fight
The BendPak HDSO14AX Open-Front Alignment Lift is built for shops that want heavy-duty alignment capability without a front crossbar blocking the work area. With 14,000-lb. lifting capacity, extended alignment runways, front turn plates, and rear multi-caster slip plates, this open-front four-post lift gives technicians the access and precision needed for serious alignment and front-end service. The open-front design makes it easier to enter and exit beneath the vehicle, helping speed up front-end adjustment, steering work, suspension inspection, and alignment setup. For busy alignment bays, that difference is not subtle. It is the kind of access advantage technicians notice immediately.
Patented Outriggers and Free-Floating Alignment Hardware
The HDSO14AX uses patented adjustable front outrigger tubes that help fine-tune front-lift leveling. Their infinitely adjustable pitch can compensate for heavier loads and sloped floors, which is especially valuable when alignment accuracy and runway position matter. Rear-facing multi-caster slip plates and front-facing turn plates support precise, free-floating alignment work. Two recessed turn plate pockets allow technicians to position galvanized, corrosion-resistant turn plates as needed, while runways adjust for different tread widths and include rail kits for optional accessories.
Oversized Sheaves, Aircraft Cables, and Built-In Lubrication
BendPak equips the HDSO14AX with oversized 10.5-inch cable sheaves, 2.25-inch sheave axles, and four heavy-duty 1/2-inch, 6 x 25 aircraft-quality steel lifting cables routed through the columns. These components are built to support years of commercial alignment work while helping reduce cable wear and service demands. Grease fittings help keep the sheaves lubricated and the cable system operating smoothly. The lift structure routes cables, sheaves, airlines, and critical components internally, keeping the system cleaner, better protected, and visually cleaner in the bay.
Auto-Leveling Safety Locks and Push-Button Pneumatic Release
The HDSO14AX includes an automatic leveling system, multiple auto-leveling locking positions, and spring-loaded safety locks that engage as the platforms rise. This design helps keep the lift stable and level, even when the shop floor has a slight slope. A push-button pneumatic lock release disengages the locks simultaneously for even platform descent, while a secondary slack-cable lock system helps stop operation if dangerous cable slack is detected. Optional RJ-7 bridge jacks add wheel-service capability, giving this open-front alignment lift the flexibility to support alignments, wheel work, brake service, and suspension jobs.
