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.

Tire, wheel, brake, and alignment service move faster with the BendPak 12AP-SRT, a 12,000-lbs. capacity short-rise two-post car lift. Its compact floorplate design gives technicians quick access to wheels and lower service points, while symmetric/asymmetric lifting capability helps position cars, trucks, SUVs, and electric vehicles with precision.
Heavy-Capacity Short-Rise Power for Busy Bays
The BendPak 12AP-SRT is a short-rise two-post lift built for shops that need heavier lifting capability without always needing full standing-height undercar access. With a 12,000-lb. capacity and a compact floorplate design, it is a strong fit for tire service, wheel work, detailing, inspections, brakes, suspension access, and other service tasks where speed, support, and space efficiency matter. This lift is especially useful for professional shops and serious garages that work on heavier vehicles but still want a short-rise platform. It keeps the lift focused on practical service height, helping technicians move quickly around vehicles without dedicating the ceiling height or footprint required by a traditional full-rise two-post lift.
Floorplate Layout with Wide and Narrow Installation Options
The 12AP-SRT uses a floorplate design that routes and protects key lines between the posts while helping keep the work area organized. Its compact short-rise layout makes it easier to fit into low-ceiling shops, personal garages, and quick-service areas where full-height columns are not the right answer. The lift also offers wide and narrow installation options in a customizable package, giving shop owners more flexibility when planning bay layouts. That matters when you are trying to add lifting capacity to an existing service floor instead of designing the entire building around one piece of equipment.
Bi-Metric Arms and Triple-Telescoping Reach
The 12AP-SRT uses BendPak's Bi-Metric arm system to support both symmetric and asymmetric spotting needs. This gives technicians more freedom to balance vehicle position, door clearance, and access depending on the job. Triple-telescoping arms retract shorter and extend farther, helping reach a wider range of lift points on modern vehicles. Drop-end arms create a lower pad height for easier placement under low-profile vehicles, while included cradle adapters support body-on-frame trucks and SUVs. The AP Series arm package is designed to reduce setup compromise, making the 12AP-SRT more adaptable than a basic short-rise lift.
AP Series Safety Systems for Heavier Short-Rise Work
The 12AP-SRT includes BendPak's patented automatic safety lock system and single-point release mechanism for controlled lifting and lowering. The Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System uses forged-steel construction and 360-degree grip to help keep arms locked firmly in place under real service loads. Dual hydraulic direct-drive cylinders, heavy-duty equalizer cables, self-lubricating Dura-Glide UHMW bearings, electric-hydraulic power, and safety locks in each column give the 12AP-SRT the strength and control needed for high-volume shop use. For heavier tire and wheel service, it brings short-rise convenience without acting lightweight.
