The BendPak HD-9STX is a 9,000-lb. capacity, CE Approved and Certified narrow-width, extra-tall four-post car lift engineered for serious vehicle storage, service, and parking in residential garages or commercial facilities. Featuring a high-rise design with an impressive 82" maximum rise and 86.5" maximum lifting height, this lift maximizes vertical space—perfect for owners with standard 8-foot or taller ceilings looking to reclaim valuable floor area.
Unlike typical "hobby lifts," the HD-9STX is packed with commercial-grade features and built to the exacting standards BendPak is known for—backed by over 40 years of experience and a reputation for quality, durability, and innovation. This narrow-width freestanding design requires no special foundation, installs easily, and can even be fitted with optional casters for portability. Whether you're storing ATVs, snowmobiles, jet skis, golf carts, boats, or vehicles for detailing, or using it as a robust service lift in a space-conscious shop, the HD-9STX delivers unmatched versatility and reliability.
The space-saving design of the 9,000-lb. capacity HD-9STX is ideal for vehicle storage in residential garages or commercial buildings. It also happens to make a great service lift for smaller shops who still want to do big business. No special foundation is required and installation is straightforward. Optional casters enable you to roll the lift outside or wherever best suits your needs. About the size of a typical parking space, this lift truly maximizes valuable floor area.
Use the HD-9STX for detailing; storing ATVs, snowmobiles, jet skis, golf carts, boats or just about anything else that needs to be off the ground. You can finally make use of that wasted vertical space above your car. If you've got at least a standard 8-foot ceiling, this lift will work for you. The narrow-width design with 89.75" width between columns and 100.25" overall width accommodates narrow and standard vehicles alike, while the high-rise configuration gives you the extra height you need.
Don't make the mistake of calling the HD-9STX a "hobby lift." Our expert engineers have packed this model with features that were previously only found on commercial-grade designs. Plus, it's a BendPak, so you know it's backed by over 40 years of experience and a reputation that carries just as much weight as our lifts. We're proud to have these HD-Series lifts in our lineup, and you'll be proud to have one in your shop or garage.
The HD-9STX is the narrow-width, high-rise version of this lift. If you are looking for a standard-width model, consider the HD-9XW.
Dependable design: Four heavy-duty, high-quality, stainless steel lifting cables (rated at 14,400 lbs. each—a combined rating of 640% of maximum lifting capacity) and a single hydraulic cylinder mounted underneath the runway make this lift the most durable, maintenance-free lifting system on the market. All lifting cables, airlines, safety latches, and sheaves are fully enclosed within the lift structure for a clean, integrated look and maximum protection.
Dual-hub cable sheaves: Reduce stress and fatigue on the axles, sheaves, and cables. We insist on using dual-hub cable sheaves, even if they cost us more to make. When you buy BendPak, we throw in peace of mind as a free gift. Oversized self-lubricating cable rollers and rugged 1-1/4" roller axles further enhance durability.
Multi-position safety locks: The HD-9STX is equipped with 15 locking positions (lock spacing every 4 inches) for variable-height parking and service. A convenient push-button pneumatic safety lock control releases all four independent safety locks simultaneously. Automatic safety locks engage continuously as the lift is raised, and a secondary independent backup slack-cable safety latch system acts as a failsafe in the unlikely event of cable failure.
Heavy-duty aircraft cable: Each lift is supplied with 4 high-quality stainless steel lifting cables rated at 14,400 lbs. each. The combined rating of these cables is 640% of the maximum lifting capacity of the entire lift! Features heavy-duty 3/8" aircraft cable for ultimate strength and reliability. And we make sure it looks tidy too—all lifting cables are fully enclosed within the lift structure itself.
Electric / hydraulic power system: We incorporate maintenance-free electric hydraulic power systems into each lift for ultimate dependability, and all controls are conveniently located within close reach. The customizable power unit location gives you installation flexibility to match your shop layout. Motor is 220 VAC / 60 Hz / 1Ph, and the system operates at a whisper-quiet 45 dB.
Large base plates: 10" x 12" base plates provide a solid foundation for the HD-9STX, ensuring stability and longevity.
Single hydraulic cylinder: Each lift is equipped with a single hydraulic cylinder, hidden away under the runway for minimum exposure and maximum reliable performance. Our industrial-grade hydraulic cylinders feature 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 and plated to a minimum of .001" diametrically, to ensure superior cylinder operation and life. The superior-design high durometer, mechanically-loaded rod seals make rod leakage a thing of the past while a specially formulated abrasion-resistant urethane rod wiper provides exclusion protection. The welded cylinder body is made from robust steel tubing produced to exceed ASTM specifications. This combination of superb base material and superior processing ensures that the cylinders remain straight, smooth and last a very long time. An integrated flow restrictor provides a controlled descent in the case of an unexpected hose rupture.
Durable powder-coat finish: All HD-Series lifts feature a durable powder-coat finish in New Gray that gives the metal a high-quality, extremely durable finish which can withstand even the harshest environmental or chemical conditions. Unlike other companies that claim to powder coat, we take pride in our meticulous 10-step process. First, all parts are visually inspected before being sandblasted. Afterwards, the parts are washed in our 5-stage phosphate tanks that can accommodate parts up to 25' long. Once cleaned, they're immediately dried to avoid rust production, and then outgassed. Outgassing pre-bakes the parts in a curing oven, reducing the possibility of blemishes that may be hiding in the pores of the metal. If not properly outgassed, imperfections in the metal may bubble during the curing process and most likely will cause chips in the powder. After the parts are washed and outgassed, any surfaces and/or threaded holes that need to be masked or plugged are done so with high-temperature masking tape and silicone plugs. Next, the parts are given a quick thinner wipe to remove any light debris or fingerprints, before being hung on an electrostatically grounded conveyor line. The powder is finally applied using an electrostatic spray gun. The powder "sticks" to the surface in a fashion similar to how dust sticks to a television screen. Once the parts are powder coated, the carts are rolled into our curing oven and baked at 400°F for 45 minutes.
Internal anti-sway slider blocks in each column provide smooth, stable lifting with no lateral movement. Adjustable lock ladders give you the flexibility to fine-tune lock engagement for different vehicle configurations.
Runways feature non-skid surface for safe loading and unloading, and include a rail-kit for optional accessories such as drip trays, rolling jacks, and solid decks. Removable approach ramps provide additional drive-under clearance when needed, and the longer approach ramps are specifically designed to help when loading low ground clearance vehicles. It's the little bit that makes a big difference. Optional drive-thru ramps are also available for added versatility.
Take your pick. You're currently looking at the narrow-width, high-rise HD-9STX. The HD-9 is the standard-width model, the HD-9ST is the narrow model, and the HD-9XW is the standard-width, high-rise model. Each model in the HD-9 Series shares the same 9,000-lb. capacity and legendary BendPak build quality, so you can choose the configuration that best fits your space and application.
Enhance the versatility of your HD-9STX with optional accessories designed to maximize your investment:
Optional Pair Drip Trays — BendPak 5700301 Plastic Drip Trays fit BendPak's HD-7 and HD-9 Series Lifts (Set of 2). Polypropylene drip trays from BendPak are a perfect, cost-effective solution to a messy problem. A reversible design allows them to accommodate BendPak four-post lifts with the runways positioned either wide or narrow. These drip trays are an essential four-post lift accessory, especially if you have a vehicle that leaks. These affordable, impact-resistant polypropylene drip trays are rugged and light, and help solve the common problem of potentially harmful drips. Each tray comes with 56 articulated catches and gutters to restrain the fluid from sloshing out. So all that oil, coolant and other muck stays neatly contained within individual compartments, even when carried or bumped. A smart, black color hides the appearance of stains and blemishes.
