BendPak 12APF Open-Top Two-Post Lift for Low Ceilings - 12,000 lb Capacity
The BendPak 12APF is a 12,000 lb two-post floorplate lift built for low ceilings, commercial vehicles, and high-roof service applications. Its open-top design eliminates overhead obstructions, while a steel floorplate protects all hydraulic and equalizer lines for a clean and safe workspace. The exclusive Bi-Metric arm design offers superior versatility, letting techs spot vehicles in symmetric or asymmetric configurations instantly.
Built for strength, safety, and simplicity
The BendPak 12APF was engineered for shops that need true heavy-duty lifting power in spaces where overhead lifts simply won't fit. With shortened columns and no overhead beam, the lift performs exceptionally well in low-ceiling repair bays and older buildings with height limitations.
Concealed routing for a cleaner workspace
A durable steel floorplate houses all hydraulic and equalizer lines, resulting in a safer, cleaner shop with smoother movement of jacks, drain pans, and equipment across the bay.
Advanced ASARS safety system
BendPak's Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System provides a full 360-degree grip around the arm head, with over 2,000 pounds of holding force and forged-steel construction engineered to lock arms firmly under real service loads.
Built for long-term commercial use
Single-piece columns, dual 3/8 inch equalizer cables, oversized sheaves, and self-lubricating bearings keep the lift operating smoothly even in high-volume shops.
