Maximize your vertical space with the BendPak HD-9, a 9,000-lb. capacity four-post lift engineered for both vehicle storage and professional service work. Perfect for residential garages and commercial facilities alike, this freestanding lift offers exceptional versatility without requiring a special foundation. Whether you're parking, storing, or servicing cars, trucks, ATVs, snowmobiles, jet skis, golf carts, or boats, the HD-9 transforms wasted vertical space into productive square footage. With a compact footprint about the size of a typical parking space and compatibility with standard 8-foot ceilings, this lift delivers big performance in tight spaces.
The HD-9 is the standard-width, standard-rise model in BendPak's renowned HD-Series lineup. If you need a narrower configuration, consider the HD-9ST narrow-width model. Optional casters allow you to roll the lift outside or reposition it wherever you need — installation is straightforward, and the space-saving design ensures you make the most of every square foot.
Electric / Hydraulic Power System
The HD-9 incorporates a maintenance-free electric hydraulic power system for ultimate reliability. A single hydraulic cylinder mounted underneath the runway drives the entire lift, hidden away for minimum exposure and maximum performance. This industrial-grade cylinder features a single-piece, pilot-fitted, machined steel piston wrapped with specially designed, pressure-loaded U-cup piston seals, backups, and wear bands to virtually eliminate fluid bypass. The micro-smooth chrome rod is machined from high-yield, ground and polished C-1045/50 micro-alloy steel, plated to a minimum of .001" diametrically, ensuring superior operation and longevity. High-durometer, mechanically-loaded rod seals eliminate leakage, while a specially formulated abrasion-resistant urethane rod wiper provides exclusion protection. The welded cylinder body is made from robust steel tubing that exceeds ASTM specifications. An integrated flow restrictor provides controlled descent in the unlikely event of an unexpected hose rupture — safety is engineered into every component.
Heavy-Duty Aircraft Cable
Each lift is equipped with four high-quality stainless steel lifting cables, each rated at 14,400 lbs. The combined rating of these cables is an astounding 640% of the maximum lifting capacity of the entire lift. BendPak uses 3/8" aircraft-grade cable with rugged 1-1/4" roller axles and oversized self-lubricating cable rollers for smooth, reliable operation. All lifting cables are fully enclosed within the lift structure itself for a clean, professional look and added safety.
Dual-Hub Cable Sheaves
BendPak insists on using dual-hub cable sheaves, even though they cost more to manufacture. These heavy-duty sheaves reduce stress and fatigue on the axles, sheaves, and cables, ensuring smoother operation and longer lifespan. When you buy BendPak, peace of mind comes standard.
Automatic Multi-Position Safety Locks
The HD-9 features 12 adjustable locking positions spaced every 4 inches, providing variable-height parking and service flexibility. Aircraft-quality stainless steel and aluminum pneumatic cylinders release all four locks simultaneously with the simple push of a button. The spring-loaded safety locks automatically engage continuously as the lift is raised — no manual intervention required. For added security, a secondary lock system acts as a slack-cable device to engage in the unlikely event of cable failure. Independent backup slack-cable safety latches provide an extra layer of protection.
Push-Button Pneumatic Safety Release
Convenient push-button pneumatic controls are located within easy reach and release all four independent safety locks simultaneously. Note: An air supply (minimum: 30 psi / 3 CFM) is required for the safety-lock mechanisms to disengage. It is solely the responsibility of the end-user to provide, install, and maintain the air supply.
Internal Anti-Sway Slider Blocks
Each column features internal anti-sway slider blocks to reduce lateral movement and ensure stable, controlled lifting. Fully enclosed lifting cables, safety locks, and sheaves protect these critical components from debris and damage.
Solid Base and Non-Skid Runways
Large 10" x 12" base plates provide a solid foundation for the HD-9, ensuring stability and secure footing. The runways feature a non-skid surface for safe vehicle positioning, and removable approach ramps provide additional drive-under clearance when needed.
Freestanding, No Special Foundation Required
The HD-9 is designed for easy installation on standard concrete surfaces — no elaborate pit or specialized foundation work needed. Optional casters enable you to roll the lift outside or reposition it as your needs change. Customizable power unit location allows for flexible installation in various shop layouts.
Adjustable Runway Width
Runways are 19 inches wide and can be positioned with widths between runways of 37.5" or 44.375", accommodating both narrow and standard vehicles. This versatility makes the HD-9 ideal for a wide range of vehicle types, from compact cars to full-size trucks.
Longer Approach Ramps
The HD-9 features extended approach ramps designed to accommodate low-ground-clearance vehicles. These longer ramps make loading sports cars, lowered vehicles, and modern sedans easier and safer. Removable ramps provide additional drive-under clearance when working beneath the lift.
Runways Include Rail-Kit for Accessories
Each runway is equipped with a rail-kit, ready to accept optional accessories like rolling bridge jacks, drip trays, and more. This integrated accessory system makes it easy to expand your lift's capabilities as your needs grow.
Durable Powder-Coat Finish
All HD-Series lifts feature a meticulous 10-step powder-coat process that produces an exceptionally durable, high-quality finish capable of withstanding the harshest environmental and chemical conditions. Unlike competitors who claim to powder coat, BendPak takes pride in its rigorous process: parts are visually inspected, sandblasted, washed in a 5-stage phosphate tank system, immediately dried to prevent rust, and outgassed in a curing oven to eliminate blemishes that may hide in the metal's pores. After masking threaded holes and sensitive surfaces with high-temperature tape and silicone plugs, parts receive a quick thinner wipe before being hung on an electrostatically grounded conveyor line. Powder is applied using an electrostatic spray gun, causing it to "stick" to the surface like dust on a television screen. Finally, parts are baked in a curing oven at 400°F for 45 minutes. The result is a finish that looks great and lasts for years.
Integrated Design for Clean Aesthetics
Lifting cables, airlines, safety latches, and sheaves are all fully enclosed within the lift's structure for a clean, professional appearance and maximum protection from contaminants.
Take your pick. You're currently looking at the standard-width, standard-rise HD-9. BendPak also offers the HD-9ST (narrow width model), the HD-9STX (tall and narrow model), and the HD-9XW (standard-width, high-lift model with 82" max rise). Choose the configuration that best fits your ceiling height, vehicle types, and workspace.
Optional Drip Trays
Keep your workspace and vehicles clean with BendPak 5700301 Plastic Drip Trays, designed to fit the HD-7 and HD-9 Series lifts (sold in sets of 2). These lightweight, cost-effective polypropylene trays catch harmful fluids and protect your vehicles and garage flooring from leaks. Each tray features 56 articulated catches and gutters to restrain fluid from sloshing out, even when carried or bumped. The reversible design accommodates BendPak four-post lifts with runways positioned either wide or narrow. A smart black color hides the appearance of stains and blemishes. These affordable, impact-resistant trays are an essential accessory, especially if you have a vehicle that leaks.
