Dual-hub cable sheaves
Huge 12” diameter cable sheaves within the runway and cross tubes combined with massive 4” diameter sheave axles dramatically improve cable wear and critical component lifespan. Dual-hub cable sheaves reduce stress, fatigue and wear. |

Heavy-duty aircraft cable
BendPak's HDS-Series lifts feature four 3/4” diameter 6 x 25 aircraft quality cables have a breaking strength of over 39,000 pounds each. Aircraft-quality cable is specifically designed for lifting applications and provides a great balance between abrasion resistance and fatigue.

Built-in lubrication
Grease fittings are located on every sheave and sheave axle to help keep these critical parts well lubricated and to simplify periodic maintenance.

 |
Hidden hydraulic cylinder
Each HDS-Series four-post is equipped with a single 4” diameter hydraulic cylinder hidden away under the runway for maximum performance and reliability and minimum exposure to elements. The welded cylinder body is made from high strength steel. |
 |
The hydraulic cylinder features a one-piece, pilot fitted, machined steel piston wrapped with high-durometer, mechanically loaded rod seals, pressure loaded U-cup piston seals, backups and wear bands that virtually eliminate any fluid bypass. This design ensures straight, smooth, cylinders that will provide years of trouble-free service. |
 |
Flow restrictor
An integrated hydraulic flow restrictor provides a controlled descent in the unlikely event of an unexpected hose rupture. |
 |
Durable powder coat
A durable powder coat finish can withstand harsh environments. Finished parts are hung on an electro-statically grounded conveyor line, then powder is applied using an electrostatic spray gun. Once the parts are powder coated, the carts are rolled into our curing oven. |
 |
Large base plates
12" x 12" base plates provide a solid foundation for the HDS-14. |
 |
Spring-loaded safety locks
Spring-loaded safety locks automatically engage continuously during rise and adjustable safety ladders allow for precise runway leveling even when installed on sloped floors. |
 |
Push-button pneumatic lock release
A simple push-button pneumatic lock release makes lowering operations simple and fast. Aircraft-quality stainless steel and aluminum pneumatic cylinders will provide years of trouble-free service. |
 |
Secondary lock system
A secondary lock system is on constant guard and acts as a slack-cable device in the unlikely event of an unexpected cable failure. |
 |
Integrated design
Lifting cables, airlines, safety latches and sheaves are all fully enclosed within lift structure.
|
 |
Adjustable height locking positions
Each column features multiple adjustable height locking positions for variable-height parking and infinite leveling. 12" x 12" base plates provide a solid foundation.
|
 |
Electric hydraulic power system
A maintenance-free electric hydraulic power system assures ultimate dependability. All operator controls are conveniently located within easy reach. |
 |
Non-skid runways
Non-skid runways provides maximum grip, even when the runway surface is wet or oily. Extended length approach ramps feature automatic rear wheel chocks and help when loading low ground clearance vehicles.
Longer approach ramps
These approach ramps were designed a little longer to help when loading low ground clearance vehicles. It's the little bit that makes a big difference.

 |
Flexible protective conduit
Hydraulic hoses and airlines are routed through a flexible protective conduit. |
 |
Rolling bridge jacks
Optional rolling bridge jacks make a great addition to increase service capacity. Bridge jacks are used to raise the front or rear portion of a vehicle off the runways allowing operators to perform efficient wheel and brake service. A pair of jacks allows the entire vehicle to elevated. Each jack has telescoping arms and frame contact pads. |
