Looking for a lift for garage where I work. I know some folks here have used BendPak. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance! :cool:

I've owned two four-post lifts from BendPak and have been very happy with them. I use my lift frequently, sometimes several times a day for weeks on end and have had zero issues over the last decade. The only reason I replaced the first one is the 9,000 lb capacity was not large enough to lift my F550 and I went to a 14,000 lb four-post lift. BendPak is a good quality and good value lift and if you watch all these automotive themed shows you'll notice that BendPak seems to be the most popular lift on TV.

I bought and installed a BendPak XPR-10S-LP last September. Extremely pleased with it. My XPR-10S-LP appears to be very similar to the XPR-9DS you asked about, except for the model I installed has a top beam/clear floor versus the 1-3/4 inch high floor pan of the XPR-9DS. For me it was important to not have any obstructions on the floor. Makes it easier to move the car in and out plus eliminates an obstruction to work around (and trip over...) on the floor. Also the model I bought has low profile arms which was also important to me. My only other lift experience was with a Danmar. Similar in quality although the BendPak seems to be a little more of a pro model.

Edwardb,

Thanks for your input. I thought you had one similar. We need one without the top rail as we have tall vehicles and have room to drive over the floor rail. The quality looks very good. We have an air lift for the buses we work on for 10 ton use. However, we need one for pickups and vans, etc. I looked at pics you posted as you installed the new unit. I'll post update once its installed and in use.

Thanks again,
Len
