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.

With 12,000-lbs. of lifting capacity and a 169-in. overall height, the BendPak 12APX gives shops more power, more working room, and flexible vehicle positioning. Its clearfloor design, Bi-Metric arms, Low-Pro arms, Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System, and advanced safety locks support secure service on cars, trucks, SUVs, and electric vehicles.
High-Rise Access for Modern Shop Workflows

The BendPak 12APX High-Rise Two-Post Car Lift gives professional repair facilities a 12,000-lb. lifting platform with the height, reach, and arm control needed for today’s vehicle mix. Built for shops that service trucks, SUVs, EVs, commercial vehicles, and passenger cars, the 12APX combines high-rise working access with BendPak’s AP Series engineering for safer, more confident daily lifting. Choose the 12APX when you need more capacity than a 10,000-lb. lift and more technician room under the vehicle. Its clearfloor layout keeps the bay open for tools and equipment, while Bi-Metric™ lifting, Low-Pro™ triple-telescoping arms, double-telescoping screw pads, and BendPak’s Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System help technicians reach more lift points with less compromise.
ASARS Arm Restraints with 360-Degree Holding Control

The 12APX uses BendPak’s Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System, or ASARS, to help keep the lift arms locked in position during vehicle service. This patented forged-steel restraint system provides 360-degree grip and is engineered to withstand more than 2,000 lbs. of side force, helping protect against unplanned arm movement when vehicle balance shifts. That matters on a 12,000-lb. two-post lift, especially when trucks, SUVs, driveline components, battery packs, or heavy assemblies are being serviced. ASARS adds confidence without making the operator fight the equipment, and a quick-release lever allows fast arm adjustment when the vehicle is ready to come down.
Low-Pro™ Triple-Telescoping Arms and Bi-Metric™ Lifting

The 12APX is built around four triple-telescoping swing arms that extend farther and retract shorter than conventional arm designs. That added range helps technicians reach factory lifting points across a wide variety of wheelbases, frame layouts, and lower chassis-height vehicles without constantly repositioning the vehicle in the bay. Bi-Metric™ arm geometry allows the lift to support both symmetric and asymmetric loading, giving shops more flexibility when working with mixed vehicle types. Low-Pro™ arm ends and adjustable screw pads help engage low-profile lift points, while included adapter capability supports trucks, SUVs, and frame-style vehicles that need additional pad height.
Direct-Drive Hydraulics, Safety Locks, and Heavy-Duty Construction

Dual hydraulic direct-drive cylinders provide smooth lifting power without relying on chain-over-roller lifting. Safety locks in each column, a single-point safety release, padded overhead safety shutoff bar, galvanized equalizing cables, and self-lubricating Dura-Glide UHMW bearings support dependable daily use in demanding service environments. The 12APX is built with oversized columns, heavy-duty carriages, durable powder coat finish, and ALI certification for professional shop confidence. For facilities that need a high-rise 12,000-lb. two-post lift with modern arm technology and clearfloor access, the 12APX is the practical step up from lighter-capacity lifts.
