The BendPak 9APF is a 9,000-lb. capacity floorplate two-post lift purpose-built to eliminate ceiling height restrictions while maximizing bay versatility. Its open-top configuration completely removes the traditional overhead beam, making it the ideal solution for shops with low ceilings, overhead obstructions such as ductwork or lighting, or facilities where clearance is at a premium. Whether you're servicing tall cargo vans, lifted trucks, or everyday passenger vehicles, the 9APF delivers unrestricted overhead access and 123-inch post height that fits where conventional two-post lifts cannot.
Unlike traditional clearfloor lifts, the 9APF features an ultra-low 1.4-inch floorplate that houses hydraulic lines and equalizer cables beneath a durable steel cover plate. This contained system keeps your bay floor cleaner, safer, and easier to navigate. Transmission jacks, oil drains, creepers, and shop carts roll smoothly across the plate without snagging on exposed hardware or tripping hazards, improving workflow efficiency and reducing downtime during service operations.
Built on BendPak's proven AP-Series platform, the 9APF incorporates triple-telescoping swing arms with Bi-Metric positioning, allowing technicians to configure the lift for either symmetric or asymmetric vehicle spotting. Dropped pad receivers and stackable height adapters accommodate low-profile sports cars and varied lift points, while the Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System (ASARS) delivers a secure, 360-degree grip with easy quick-release operation. With 14 safety lock positions spaced every 3.6 inches, a robust dual hydraulic cylinder system, and heavy-duty equalizer cables with oversized sheaves, the 9APF is engineered for dependable, high-cycle performance in professional shop environments.
The BendPak 9APF is designed to handle the demands of busy service bays. The electric-hydraulic power unit delivers smooth, consistent lifting with a full rise time of approximately 60 seconds. Dual hydraulic cylinders ensure balanced lifting force, while heavy-duty equalizer cables with oversized sheaves reduce fatigue and wear over thousands of cycles. Self-lubricating UHMW carriage sliders provide smooth, low-friction travel along the columns, minimizing maintenance and extending component life.
The lift's single-piece steel columns and large steel base plates deliver exceptional rigidity and structural stability under load. With a maximum lifting height of 73.5 inches (not engaged on lock) and a maximum rise of 70 inches, the 9APF provides ample undercar access for a wide range of service tasks. 14 safety lock positions offer versatile working heights, and the single-point lock release simplifies operation during fast-paced service intervals.
The 9APF's dropped pad receivers and stackable height adapters make lifting low-clearance vehicles quick and secure, while the triple-telescoping arms extend from 22.25 to 47.5 inches (front) and 29.5 to 57 inches (rear), accommodating everything from compact cars to larger SUVs and light trucks. The lift is powered by a 208–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 1-phase motor drawing approximately 11 amps, with special voltages available upon request.
The BendPak 9APF is CE Approved and Certified, meeting or exceeding the standards prescribed by European Standard EN 1493. It operates at a maximum hydraulic pressure of 2,170 psi under full load, with each lift arm rated to 2,250 lbs. and balanced weight distribution of 4,500 lbs. per axle. The lift's straightforward service access points and durable construction ensure reliable, long-term performance in high-volume professional environments.
With a minimum pad height of 4.5 inches and 2.25-inch maximum pad adjustment, the 9APF accommodates varied vehicle lift points and low-clearance chassis. The 9.5-inch-wide floorplate provides a stable, protected pathway for hydraulic and equalizer components, and the adjustable narrow or wide installation options (91-inch or 101-inch drive-thru clearance) allow shops to tailor the lift to their specific bay layout and traffic flow requirements.
