The \u003cstrong\u003e20AP\u003c\/strong\u003e publishes what most listings leave out: a \u003cstrong\u003emaximum load per lift arm of 5,000 lbs (2,268 kg)\u003c\/strong\u003e. That is the figure that governs a bread van with the load stacked over one axle, a fire appliance with a pump on one side, or an ambulance being stripped from the rear — vehicles whose weight is nowhere near evenly spread across four pads. A lift can be rated for \u003cstrong\u003e20,000 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e in total and still be the wrong lift if one corner takes more than its share.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second thing this model is built around is arm restraint.

The carriages run on a self-lubricating dura-glide UHMW polyethylene bearing system, meaning there is no grease schedule for the sliding surfaces, and an oversized cable sheave diameter reduces the flex fatigue that eventually finishes off equalisation cables on lesser lifts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSafety locks engage automatically all the way up. Release is single-point: one control drops every lock together, rather than sending someone round the columns with a bar.

That distinction is the one insurers, fleet policies and local code officials tend to ask about by name. If your policy or your inspector requires documentary evidence for a specific model and serial number, ask us in writing and we will obtain it — a certification named in a feature list is a good sign, and a certificate in your file is the thing that actually satisfies an auditor.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis lift ships as freight within the lower 48 states.

Decide in advance how the crate leaves the truck: forklift or telehandler on site, or collection from the freight terminal, which for a two-post lift of this size is often the simpler arrangement. A residential address carries a residential fee. Warehouse pickup can be arranged for this brand — call us to set it up. Inspect the shipment before signing and record any damage on the bill of lading at the time — a clean signature makes a later claim very hard to win.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe warranty document that governs this lift is linked on this page; read the term and the exclusions there rather than relying on a summary. One practical rule regardless of the terms: do not disassemble a part you intend to claim on. Photograph the fault, leave the assembly as it is and contact us first, because a stripped component is the usual reason a legitimate claim fails.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" height=\"8\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" width=\"1198\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-main-product-details-container\" id=\"kd-main-product-details-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-details-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-details-item\"\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDurable powder coat finish\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExpandable top beam accommodates wide or narrow drive-thru configurations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDouble-telescoping screw pads offer increased versatility\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePadded overhead safety shutoff bar\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSingle-point safety release\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDrop-end arms provide a lower pad height\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDual hydraulic direct-drive cylinders\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eElectric \/ hydraulic HVLP power system\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSelf-lubricating dura-glide UHMW polyethylene bearing system\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAutomatic arm restraints withstand over 2000-pounds of side force\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOversized cable sheave diameter reduces cable fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eALI Certified\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" height=\"8\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" width=\"1198\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e   \u003cdiv class=\"kd-main-product-pickupdelivry-container\" id=\"kd-main-product-pickupdelivry-container\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"h3 accordion\"\u003ePick Up and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-pickupdelivry-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-pickupdelivry-item\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur Pick Up locations for Bendpak\/Dannmar\/Ranger are located in Santa Paula, California \u0026amp; Theodore, Alabama.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCall, text, or chat with us if you have questions. 866-774-7743\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-pickupdelivry-item\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" height=\"8\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-ew8kwapfc4\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/golden-bar.png?t=1681903157\" width=\"1198\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-main-product-downloads-container\" id=\"kd-main-product-downloads-container\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-product-downloads-continer kd-flex-row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-prouduct-downloads-item\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"kd-img-container kd-flex-row\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"divider\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BendPak","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54965108638035,"sku":"5175614","price":12762.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/progradewarehouse.com\/products\/bendpak-20ap-20-000-lbs-capacity-2-post-high-rise-car-lift","provider":"PRO GRADE WAREHOUSE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
