There is no chain and no screw drive: a single hydraulic cylinder in a direct-drive arrangement raises the platform, and the platform comes down under gravity rather than being driven down. A parking lift spends most of its life stationary with a car on it and is cycled a couple of times a day, so the design goal is not speed — it is having as little as possible that wears, stretches, needs adjusting or needs lubricating. Screw drives need maintenance. Chains stretch. A cylinder and a pump do neither, and gravity lowering means the motor only ever works in one direction, which also keeps the power draw down.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRated at 6,000 lbs. per platform, the PL-6000DCX is a freestanding two-post parking lift for stacking vehicles in residential garages, dealerships and commercial parking structures, with a galvanised, corrugated anti-slip platform surface and a corrosion-resistant box-frame structure.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eCheck these dimensions before you pour a slab\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished figures for several of this lift's main dimensions differ: the product description and BendPak's specification block state them differently, and in one row the description gives the lifting height where a platform width belongs.

This is a tall structure: the posts stand 131 in., and the platform lifts to 82.5 in. (2,100 mm) — so you need the height of the lower vehicle, plus the platform, plus the upper vehicle, plus clearance, all inside your ceiling. Measure to the lowest obstruction, not the highest point of the roof.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOther dimensions from the specification block: the post support length is 60.25 in. (1,532 mm), the control column stands 71 in. (1,805 mm), the platform sits 36.25 in. (918.25 mm) above its support, and minimum side clearance is 2 in. (50.75 mm). Operating conditions are given as +41°F to +104°F (+5°C to +40°C) at 50% relative humidity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe slab and the electrical supply are the customer's responsibility. A freestanding parking lift carrying 6,000 lbs. of vehicle at height puts a specific set of loads into a floor, and only your installer, working from BendPak's installation manual, can tell you whether your concrete is suitable. Have the circuit run before delivery day rather than after.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSafety, in layers\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAutomatic load-holding devices engage during lifting so the platform cannot drop if hydraulic pressure is lost, and mechanical safety locks are spaced every 4 in. up the posts, giving multiple discrete points where the load is carried by steel rather than by fluid. That spacing matters on a parking lift specifically: it lets you set the platform at the exact height that clears the roof of the car underneath rather than choosing between too low and wasted headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHydraulic overload protection prevents the lift being run beyond its rating, and a manual safety lock release means the locks can always be disengaged deliberately. An electric key switch is the feature people underrate — it means the lift cannot be operated by anyone who does not hold the key, which in a household with children or a shared commercial garage is the difference between a machine and a hazard. Control voltage is 24 VAC rather than mains, so what the operator touches is a low-voltage circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eBuilt to sit outside as well as in\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe structure is corrosion-resistant steel in a box-frame design, and the platform surface is galvanised and corrugated for grip. Both matter more than they sound: a parking lift often lives in a carport, a driveway installation or an unheated structure where a service lift never would, and a wet platform that a driver has to step onto is a slip hazard before it is anything else. Because the design is freestanding, it can be positioned where the parking makes sense rather than where the building was originally laid out.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHome garages doubling parking\u003c\/strong\u003e in a footprint that cannot be extended.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDealerships\u003c\/strong\u003e stacking inventory rather than renting more lot.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCommercial parking operators\u003c\/strong\u003e increasing spaces per square foot of floor.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCollectors\u003c\/strong\u003e who want vehicles indoors and off the driveway, on a lift that needs little maintenance between uses.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eTwo-post freestanding structure with galvanised, corrugated anti-slip platform\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSingle direct-drive hydraulic cylinder and power unit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAutomatic load-holding devices and mechanical safety locks every 4 in.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHydraulic overload protection and manual safety lock release\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eElectric key switch and 24 VAC control system\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe list only what the manufacturer's own material states is included.

That is about documentation, not engineering — but storing one vehicle at height above another is precisely the scenario an insurer, a strata or homeowners' association, or a building department tends to have rules about. If a specific North American third-party lift safety listing is required where you are, send us the wording and we will check it against BendPak's documentation before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eShipping and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eFreight only, to the lower 48 states, priced live at checkout for your address. This is a heavy palletised shipment and you have to take it off the truck — forklift, dock or a booked rigger. If none apply, take terminal pickup; on a lift this size it is often cheaper and simpler. Residential delivery is available and carries a fee. Warehouse pickup can be arranged, and the BendPak locations are listed further down this page — call us to set it up.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInspect the shipment before you sign for it, and write any damage on the bill of lading with the driver present. Once a clean bill of lading has been signed, a freight claim is very hard to pursue.
