With four triple-telescoping arms, oversized 53" and 59" tall carriages for superior strength, and safety locks in each column spaced every 3 inches, the BendPak 10AP delivers both exceptional capability and peace of mind. To view or download the lift inspection guide, click here.
Revolutionary Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System (ASARS)
Game-Changing Vehicle Lifting Technology
At the heart of the AP Pro-Series is the revolutionary Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System (ASARS), an absolute game-changer in vehicle lifting technology. Featuring a robust, forged-steel design, the ASARS offers a complete 360-degree grip with over 2,000 lbs. of load holding force, ensuring absolute stability while preventing unplanned movement during lift operations. This system requires minimal operator intervention, delivering unmatched reliability and ease of use.
Swing arm restraints have been used for decades on two-post lifts to minimize the chance of arm movement during operation. Traditional systems require manual engagement, but BendPak's ASARS takes it to the next level with automatic engagement that activates seamlessly as the lift rises. Once engaged, these automatic arm restraints withstand over 2,000 pounds of side force, providing superior protection against accidental arm displacement.
The single-point safety release allows quick and easy arm adjustment when needed, while the padded overhead safety shutoff bar provides additional operator protection. Combined with safety locks in each column spaced every 3 inches, the 10AP delivers multiple layers of protection that exceed industry standards. The 3/8" (10mm) high-strength multi-strand galvanized steel equalizing cable with oversized sheave diameter reduces cable fatigue for extended service life and reliable synchronization between columns.
Unmatched Versatility with Four Configuration Options
The 10AP Pro Series features four triple-telescoping arms with adjustable reach, accommodating a wide variety of vehicle sizes and configurations. Front arms extend from a 24.5" minimum to 50" maximum reach, while rear arms adjust from 32" to 59.25", providing exceptional flexibility for different vehicle wheelbases and lift point locations. Each arm supports a maximum load of 2,500 lbs., ensuring balanced, safe operation across the entire 10,000 lb. total capacity.
Choose from multiple configurations to match your specific ceiling height requirements and workspace needs:
10AP — 145" overall height, 69" max rise, ideal for standard ceiling applications
10AP-168 — 168" overall height, 69" max rise, extended overhead clearance for taller shop ceilings
10APX — 157" overall height, 75.5" max rise, extra lifting height for larger vehicles and SUVs
10APX-181 — 181" overall height, 75.5" max rise, maximum clearance configuration for ultimate versatility
Each configuration features the same robust 10,000 lb. lifting capacity and build quality. The expandable top beam adjusts to provide either 135" or 145" width overall, with corresponding inside column spacing of 108.5" or 118.5" and drive-thru clearances of 97.5" or 107.5" to accommodate different bay layouts, vehicle widths, and shop configurations. This adjustability makes the 10AP exceptionally adaptable to your specific workspace requirements.
Advanced Lifting Performance & Safety Features
The dual hydraulic direct-drive cylinders paired with the electric/hydraulic HVLP power system deliver smooth, reliable lifting performance with a rise time of approximately 45 seconds to full height. Operating at less than 70 dB noise level, this lift provides quiet operation that won't disrupt your work environment — quieter than a typical vacuum cleaner.
Oversized 53" and 59" tall carriages provide superior strength and durability compared to standard designs, distributing loads more evenly and reducing stress on lift components. These heavy-duty carriages are a hallmark of BendPak quality, contributing to the exceptional longevity and reliability you expect from professional-grade equipment.
The self-lubricating dura-glide UHMW polyethylene bearing system minimizes maintenance requirements while ensuring smooth, consistent operation over thousands of lift cycles. This advanced bearing system reduces friction and wear dramatically, eliminating the need for regular greasing and contributing to the exceptional service life of the 10AP. The result is lower operating costs and more uptime for your shop.
Exclusive Bi-Metric™ Arm Design
The innovative Bi-Metric™ arm design sets the 10AP apart from conventional two-post lifts. This exclusive BendPak technology provides more versatile arm positioning options, allowing you to precisely locate lift points for both symmetric and asymmetric lifting applications. Whether you're working on compact cars, full-size trucks, or anything in between, the Bi-Metric™ system ensures optimal balance and safety by giving you more flexibility in arm placement.
Drop-end arms provide a lower pad height for accessing low-profile vehicles and difficult lift points. Combined with double-telescoping screw pads that offer 2" (51mm) of vertical adjustment and a minimum height of just 4" (102mm) with pads, this lift accommodates virtually any vehicle configuration with ease. This low-profile capability is essential for modern sports cars and low-riding vehicles that challenge conventional lift designs.
The arms are designed to handle the demanding requirements of professional shop environments, with reinforced construction and precision engineering that ensures stable, secure lifting every time. The intuitive arm positioning makes setup fast and straightforward, even for technicians new to the equipment.

The extended-rise APX models provide corresponding heights of 79.5" rise with pad only and 89" rise with pad plus adapter, giving you maximum flexibility for lifting taller vehicles and accessing undercarriage components.
The included frame cradle pads and adapters are precision-engineered to work seamlessly with the 10AP's arm design, providing stable, secure contact with vehicle lift points. This attention to detail extends throughout the entire package, ensuring you have professional-grade accessories that match the quality of the lift itself.
Built to Last with Premium Construction
Every BendPak 10AP features a durable powder coat finish that resists corrosion, scratches, and shop chemicals, maintaining its professional appearance through years of hard use. This isn't just about looks — the powder coating provides critical protection for the steel components, extending service life and reducing maintenance requirements.
The lift's construction reflects BendPak's commitment to quality and safety. Heavy-duty steel components, precision-machined parts, and robust welded construction combine to create a lift that's built for decades of reliable service. The oversized cable sheave diameter works in conjunction with the high-strength galvanized steel cables to reduce wear and extend component life far beyond what you'd expect from standard lift designs.
As an ALI-certified lift, the 10AP meets or exceeds the rigorous standards established by the Automotive Lift Institute for safety and performance. This certification provides independent verification that this lift has been tested and validated to industry-leading standards, giving you confidence in your investment.
