The BendPak HD-9XL four-post lift delivers 9,000-lb. lifting capacity with extended runways specifically designed for longer wheelbase vehicles. Featuring wide drive-thru clearance and standard lift height, this ALI-certified lift maximizes valuable floor space—about the size of a typical parking space—making it the ultimate solution for vehicle storage, service, and maintenance. Whether you're storing cars, trucks, ATVs, snowmobiles, jet skis, golf carts, or boats, the HD-9XL safely elevates your equipment and frees up ground-level space.
With an 8-foot ceiling, you can take full advantage of wasted vertical space above your vehicle. The optional caster kit allows you to roll the lift outside or reposition it wherever you need. But don't be fooled by its residential-friendly footprint—this is no "hobby lift." The HD-9XL is packed with commercial-grade engineering features previously reserved for professional-grade designs, all backed by BendPak's 40+ years of industry-leading experience.

The HD-9XL isn't just a lift—it's a precision-engineered solution designed for reliability, durability, and ease of use. BendPak has a reputation that carries just as much weight as the lift itself, and we're proud to have the HD-Series in our lineup. You'll be proud to have one in your shop or garage.
Key Highlights:
Dependable design: Four heavy-duty, high-quality stainless steel lifting cables and a single hydraulic cylinder mounted underneath the runway make this lift the most durable, maintenance-free lifting system on the market. Each cable is rated at 14,400 lbs., and the combined rating exceeds 640% of the lift's maximum capacity—built with safety margins that far exceed industry standards.
Dual-hub cable sheaves: These reduce stress and fatigue on the axles, sheaves, and cables. BendPak insists on using dual-hub cable sheaves, even if they cost more to manufacture. When you buy BendPak, peace of mind is included.
Multi-level locking positions: The HD-9XL is equipped with 12 adjustable locking positions (spaced every 4") for variable-height parking and service flexibility. A convenient push-button pneumatic safety lock control releases all four independent safety locks simultaneously, ensuring smooth and safe operation.
Heavy-duty aircraft cable: Each lift is supplied with 4 high-quality 3/8" stainless steel lifting cables, rated at 14,400 lbs. each. All lifting cables are fully enclosed within the lift structure for a clean, professional appearance and enhanced safety.
Electric / hydraulic power system: BendPak incorporates maintenance-free electric hydraulic power systems into each lift for ultimate dependability. All controls are conveniently located within close reach, and the system operates at a quiet 45 dB noise level.
Large base plates: 10" x 12" base plates provide a solid, stable foundation for the HD-9XL, ensuring long-term stability and safety under heavy loads.
Single hydraulic cylinder: Each lift is equipped with a single industrial-grade hydraulic cylinder, hidden away under the runway for minimum exposure and maximum reliable performance. Our cylinders feature a single-piece, pilot-fitted, machined steel piston 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, ensuring superior cylinder operation and life. High-durometer, mechanically-loaded rod seals prevent leakage, 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. An integrated flow restrictor provides a controlled descent in the case of an unexpected hose rupture.
All HD-Series lifts feature a durable powder-coat finish that gives the metal a high-quality, extremely durable surface that can withstand even the harshest environmental or chemical conditions. Unlike other companies that claim to powder coat, BendPak takes pride in a meticulous 10-step process:
This rigorous process ensures a finish that resists chips, scratches, and environmental damage—keeping your lift looking professional for years to come.
Integrated design: Lifting cables, airlines, safety latches, and sheaves are all fully enclosed within the lift structure, providing a clean, professional appearance and enhanced operator safety.
Longer approach ramps: These approach ramps were designed a little longer to help when loading low ground clearance vehicles. It's the little bit that makes a big difference. Removable approach ramps provide additional drive-under clearance when needed.
Automatic safety locks: Aircraft-quality stainless steel and aluminum pneumatic cylinders release all 4 locks simultaneously with the simple push of a button. The spring-loaded safety locks automatically engage continuously as the lift is raised. For added safety, 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 redundant protection.
Oversized self-lubricating cable rollers and rugged 1-1/4" roller axles ensure smooth, reliable operation. Internal anti-sway slider blocks in each column prevent unwanted movement during operation.
Non-skid runway surface: Runways feature a non-skid surface for enhanced traction and safety during vehicle loading and unloading.
Customizable power unit location: Install the power unit in the position that best suits your shop layout, giving you complete control over your workspace.
Take your pick. You're currently looking at the extra-wide, standard-height HD-9XL. BendPak also offers the HD-9ST (narrow model), the HD-9 (standard-width model), and the HD-9STX (narrow-width, tall model). Each is engineered to fit specific space requirements and vehicle types.
Runways include rail-kit for optional accessories such as drip trays, solid decks, and more. Optional drive-thru ramps are available for added convenience. Optional 4,500-lb. air / hydraulic rolling jacks (Model RJ-45) are available for undercarriage service work.
A lightweight, cost-effective solution to drips, these polypropylene drip trays will catch harmful fluids and keep them in one place to protect your vehicles and garage flooring. Sold in sets of two, these trays are reversible and designed to accommodate BendPak four-post lifts with the runways positioned either wide or narrow.
These affordable, impact-resistant polypropylene drip trays are rugged and light, helping solve the common problem of potentially harmful drips. Each tray comes with 56 articulated catches and gutters to restrain 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.
