The APEX AL9LC is a 9,000-lb floorplate two-post lift built for professional shops and serious home garages with low-ceiling requirements. Its floorplate design, dual symmetric/asymmetric arm configurations, long-reach telescoping arms, and durable chain-over lifting system provide dependable lifting performance for a wide range of vehicles.
Previously sold under the GrandPrix brand, the AL9LC now carries the APEX name while keeping the same proven design, performance, and BendPak-backed support.
The APEX AL9LC is engineered to deliver professional-grade two-post lifting performance in garages and shops with limited overhead clearance. Its floorplate design eliminates the need for a top crossbar, creating a more open workspace while still providing dependable lifting capability and structural stability.
With a 9,000-lb lifting capacity, the AL9LC is capable of servicing everything from low-profile sports cars to full-size trucks and SUVs. This makes it an excellent choice for small repair shops, performance garages, and serious home enthusiasts looking for commercial-level lifting power without sacrificing valuable space.
Proper vehicle positioning is essential for safe, stable lifting, and the APEX AL9LC is designed to make setup quick, precise, and predictable. Its dual symmetric and asymmetric arm configurations allow technicians to position the lift arms exactly where needed based on vehicle size, wheelbase, and weight distribution.
Triple-telescoping front arms and dual-stage extended rear arms provide exceptional reach and flexibility, allowing the AL9LC to accommodate a wide range of cars, trucks, and SUVs with ease. Double-telescoping screw pads combined with a 4-piece 63 mm stackable adapter set help ensure secure contact points and stable lifting across various frame and chassis designs.
Safety is integrated into every aspect of the APEX AL9LC’s operation. Automatic safety locks engage at three-inch intervals throughout the lifting range, providing dependable load support and stable positioning at virtually any working height.
Automatic arm restraints lock the lift arms securely in place once the vehicle is raised, helping prevent unintended arm movement during service. Together, these safety systems enhance stability, improve technician confidence, and contribute to safer day-to-day operation in both professional shops and home garages .
The APEX AL9LC is built to withstand the demands of daily shop use with reinforced construction and high-strength steel components throughout. A heavy-duty 6" x 6" tubular steel carriage provides exceptional load-bearing strength, while oversized 20.5" x 15.5" base plates help distribute weight evenly for improved stability and confidence during lifting operations.
Its electric-hydraulic power system delivers smooth, quiet, and efficient lifting performance, allowing technicians to work comfortably and efficiently throughout long service days.
The APEX AL9LC utilizes a proven chain-over lifting system paired with an industrial-grade, high-strength leaf chain manufactured to ANSI standards. Engineered for durability and long-term reliability, the lifting chain is designed to handle heavy loads and repeated lifting cycles while resisting stretch and premature wear.
Oversized heavy-duty rollers equipped with Zerk grease fittings help ensure smooth carriage travel and simplified maintenance, while self-lubricating UHMW polyethylene guide blocks reduce friction and component wear. Together, these features help maintain quiet, consistent lifting performance with minimal upkeep.
The APEX AL9LC was previously sold under the GrandPrix brand and has now transitioned into the APEX lineup as part of BendPak’s effort to streamline and strengthen its product families.
This transition is strictly a branding update, not a redesign. The AL9LC retains the same proven floorplate architecture, chain-over lifting system, structural construction, and integrated safety features that made it a trusted choice for professional shops and automotive enthusiasts alike.
By bringing the AL9LC under the APEX name, BendPak has aligned the lift with a broader lineup focused on delivering professional-grade performance, dependable durability, and outstanding value — all backed by U.S.-based customer support and industry-leading warranty coverage.
Built for years of dependable service, the APEX AL9LC is backed by BendPak’s industry-leading 36-month warranty and nationwide support network. From daily shop use to serious home garage applications, the AL9LC is designed to be a long-term investment in productivity, safety, and operational efficiency.
