The BendPak 12APX-192 High-Rise Ex-Tall 2-Post Lift is engineered for shops demanding the absolute maximum overhead clearance and 12,000 lb. capacity for modern, heavy electric vehicles and full-size trucks. With an exceptional overall height of 193 inches and a max rise of 75.75 inches, this lift offers unmatched under-vehicle access for technicians who refuse to compromise on comfort or capability. Featuring revolutionary Bi-Metric™ swing arms that adapt to symmetric or asymmetric configurations, and advanced Low-Pro™ triple-telescoping arms that reach farther and retract shorter than any traditional two-post lift, the 12APX-192 is purpose-built for the next generation of auto repair. It's the ideal solution for electric vehicle service, heavy-duty truck lifts, and any shop looking to future-proof their bays with the best lift technology available today.
Auto repair shops working on the latest technology need to be equipped with the most advanced tools to keep pace with a wave of new vehicles entering the market. Our all-new AP Series of two-post lifts represents a revolutionary design that factors in the best qualities of modern two-post lift types and reimagines them into a completely new concept in car lift engineering. The result is a lift unlike any other two-post on the market — purposefully designed for extreme use, high loads, and unmatched operator safety and efficiency.
The AP Series offers the convenience of wide or narrow installation wrapped into one configurable, adaptable package. These durable, safe, and reliable lifts come with our advanced Bi-Metric™ arms, capable of performing both symmetric and asymmetric lifting without switching out components. The simple yet highly sophisticated lift design keeps service and maintenance costs to a minimum, delivering lower operating expenses and higher productivity for your shop.
The automotive industry has always been receptive to emerging technologies, and today we're witnessing a fundamental shift. Electric Vehicles (EVs) are projected to account for a significant percentage of all vehicles produced and sold in the coming years — and EVs weigh considerably more than traditional gasoline or diesel-powered vehicles. Those extra pounds come from added batteries, reinforced framework, upgraded suspension systems, and protective metal armor for the battery packs. This additional weight has critical implications for mechanic safety when vehicles are raised in the air for service.
Extra vehicle weight introduces far more stress and force on automotive lift components, especially two-post lifts. With the emergence of heavier EVs as the impetus for the new AP design, technicians can now service electric vehicles more efficiently — including trucks, vans, and sports cars — with confidence and safety. BendPak engineers focused on the use of high tensile-strength steels for all critical load-holding components. The increased tensile strength allowed our team to design swing arms with greater telescoping movement and tube profiles better suited for use on low ground clearance vehicles and the outer-positioned lifting points common on EVs. Safety-critical design enhancements are introduced throughout every aspect of this lift.
In addition to providing greater under-car access thanks to extremely low-profile arms and extra-wide column spacing, the 12APX-192 delivers increased arm travel and minimal arm retraction, allowing for more versatile lift support positioning — perfectly suited for electric vehicle service. From reinforced construction to purposefully engineered design features, the AP Series is the perfect EV service solution.
Swing arm restraints have been used for decades on two-post lifts to minimize the chance of arms shifting during vehicle loading and service. However, until now, these systems struggled to withstand the excessive forces applied when vehicles suddenly and unexpectedly shift on support pads — typically due to improper loading or when heavy drivetrain components are added or removed from elevated vehicles, causing an unanticipated shift in the center of balance.
A significant design feature that sets the AP Series apart is its revolutionary Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System (ASARS). This system is purpose-built for heavy vehicle service and has been bolstered to withstand elevated pushing and pulling forces that occur during vehicle servicing. With a full 360 degrees of load-holding grip, the heavily forged-steel design of this patented and exclusive arm restraint system secures the lift arms firmly in place with over 2,000 pounds of load-holding force, preventing unplanned swing-arm movement during lift use and vehicle service operations.
This revolutionary design is an adaptive system that requires minimal operator involvement and delivers unparalleled holding power. A distinctive power-hold design allows for precise, non-shifting action, and a handy quick-release operator lever allows for the instant release of clamping pressure whenever repositioning is needed.
Revolutionary and patented Low-Pro™ triple-telescoping swing arms are specifically tailored for varying vehicle lifting points. Unlike traditional two-post lift arms, AP arms retract shorter and extend farther, offering lift operators a myriad of lift arm positioning options — it's like having the best of all worlds! The innovative three-stage arms achieve more telescoping movement due to their patented nesting feature that results in greater retraction and farther reach. Inner sliding arm movement is no longer impeded by arm end plates, tube closeouts, or even the arm pivot pin itself. The inner tubes retract fully through the back of the arm assembly and even beyond the arm pin, resulting in more achievable retraction and extension.
Our exclusive Low-Pro™ swing arms feature telescoping channels with a shorter profile and a dropped-end pad receiver, resulting in better serviceability on lowered chassis-height vehicles. They access hard-to-reach lift points with less hindrance, providing increased versatility and less chance of damage to vehicle side skirts, running boards, or ground effects. With a minimum pad height of just 4 inches, this lift is perfect for sports cars and modified vehicles. Varying-height stackable adapters (2.5" and 5" included) combined with two-stage spin-up screw pads provide greater vertical pad placement for precise and safe vehicle support.
Exclusive Bi-Metric™ adaptable swing arms give users the ability to set their lift up in either symmetric or asymmetric configurations without changing any components. The 2-in-1 design gives operators the option of loading vehicles either symmetrically (centerline of vehicle at column) or asymmetrically (centerline of vehicle behind column). By not having to switch out arms, you'll be able to service vehicles faster than ever before and adapt to any vehicle type that enters your bay.
Double-telescoping screw adapters feature gouge- and tear-resistant polyurethane pads that can be screwed up or down to ensure level lifting in all conditions. This provides more precise and secure frame engagement, ensuring technician safety. 2.5" medium adapters and 5" tall adapters (included, set of 4 each) are stackable and provide greater vertical pad placement for precise and safe vehicle support. The drop-in design allows for quick and easy use, and a column-mounted adapter rack keeps the adapters neatly organized and secure when not in use.
An innovative multi-position safety lock system utilizes safety locks in each column that engage automatically as the lift rises, holding the vehicle securely at your desired height. A single-point safety release allows for easy disengagement when it's time to lower the vehicle. This system works in concert with the dual hydraulic direct-drive cylinders and heavy-duty aircraft-quality equalizer cables to provide smooth, synchronized lifting and maximum operator safety. Oversized cable sheave diameter ensures long service life and reliable performance under heavy loads.
Built with high tensile-strength steel throughout all load-bearing components, the 12APX-192 is engineered for decades of reliable service. The durable powder coat finish protects against corrosion and wear in demanding shop environments. The self-lubricating Dura-Glide UHMW polyethylene bearing system ensures smooth operation and reduces maintenance requirements. With an expandable top beam design, the lift can be configured to fit your space, and the padded overhead safety shutoff bar prevents over-travel and protects both vehicle and lift. Noise levels remain under 70 dB, creating a more comfortable work environment for your technicians.
