Its structure stands \u003cstrong\u003e181 in. (4,597 mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e tall. But the figure that actually stops a vehicle is lower than that: this lift carries a padded overhead safety shutoff bar, and BendPak publishes the floor-to-overhead-switch distance as \u003cstrong\u003e175.5 in. (4,458 mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e. The bar is what a van roof touches, and touching it cuts the lift. Measure your bay against 181 in.; measure your tallest vehicle against 175.5 in.

Time to full rise is 45 seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eForged arm restraints, and why they exist\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eSwing-arm restraints are not there for the moment the car goes up. They are there for the moment something changes while it is up. Pull a gearbox, lean on a stuck subframe bolt, and the centre of balance shifts suddenly across arms extended a long way from the columns. BendPak's forged-steel Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System holds each arm against more than \u003cstrong\u003e2000 pounds\u003c\/strong\u003e of load-holding force and engages on its own as the lift rises, with a quick-release lever when you want the arms to move.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe safety locks follow the same principle: they engage automatically through the rise, spaced every 3 in. in each column, and a single-point release drops all of them together on the way down.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eArms that retract as far as they extend\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eArm reach is usually quoted at the long end, which tells you half the story. A triple-telescoping arm matters for how short it goes as much as how far it stretches: the nested design lets the inner tube retract back through the arm assembly instead of stopping at an end plate. Front arms come in to 22 in. (559 mm) and out to 47.5 in. (1,207 mm); rears run 29.5 in. (749 mm) to 57 in. (1,448 mm).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Bi-Metric arms are the other half of it: the same four arms handle symmetric and asymmetric lifting without swapping anything, a 2-in-1 design that saves the swap when a low sports car follows a pickup onto the same lift. Low-Pro swing arms use a shorter channel profile and a dropped-end pad receiver, so there is less to catch a side skirt or running board on a lowered chassis. Each arm is rated to carry up to 2,500 lbs. (1,134 kg).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCable, sheaves and finish\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eEqualizing cable is \u003cstrong\u003e3\/8 in. (10 mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e high-strength multi-strand galvanized steel over deliberately oversized sheaves. Sheave diameter is the quiet one: a cable bent around a small wheel fatigues faster than the same cable bent around a large one, so this is a service-life decision rather than a spec-sheet decision. Columns and beam carry a powder-coat finish; the power system is electric over hydraulic with dual direct-drive cylinders.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVan and fleet shops\u003c\/strong\u003e where high-roof cargo vans are routine work rather than an occasional surprise.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTall general repair bays\u003c\/strong\u003e wanting one lift for cars, pickups and vans.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTruck and upfitter shops\u003c\/strong\u003e that would rather size the beam once than regret it.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCollector garages\u003c\/strong\u003e with the ceiling height to take the 181 in. structure.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eOnly what the manufacturer's own feature list states: four triple-telescoping Low-Pro swing arms, double-telescoping screw pads, the padded overhead safety shutoff bar, expandable top beam hardware for either width, the automatic arm restraints, cable and sheave assemblies, and the electric\/hydraulic HVLP power unit.

You will need a forklift, a dock, or enough hands and equipment to get it off the truck; if you have none of those, take terminal pickup instead and bring suitable equipment.
