The BendPak HDSO-14P is a premium 14,000 lb. capacity open-front four-post car lift engineered for professional shops, alignment bays, and high-volume service centers. This ALI Certified lift combines a unique open-front design with extended runways and exceptional build quality, making it the perfect solution for servicing everything from compact cars to full-size trucks. With CE Approval and compliance with European Standard EN 1493, the HDSO-14P meets the highest international safety and performance standards.

Unlike traditional four-post lifts, the HDSO-14P features a revolutionary open-front design with no front crossbar. This clear-entry configuration provides unrestricted access for technicians to enter and exit from beneath the vehicle with ease. Front-end adjustments, alignments, suspension work, and diagnostics become fast and frustration-free. This is an absolute must-have feature for busy alignment shops and high-productivity service bays where time is money.
With a generous 14,000 lb. lifting capacity and extended 199" runways, the HDSO-14P accommodates a wide range of vehicles—from low-clearance sports cars to heavy-duty pickups and SUVs. The longer approach ramps make loading low ground clearance vehicles simple and safe, while the 97" drive-thru clearance ensures you can work comfortably under even the tallest vehicles.
Patented adjustable front outrigger tubes provide infinitely adjustable pitch control, allowing you to achieve perfect front-lift leveling even on uneven floors or with excessive loads. This exclusive BendPak innovation ensures your vehicles sit level and stable, critical for precision alignment work and safe, efficient service.
The lift is equipped with 13 multi-level locking positions spaced every 4 inches, giving you flexible variable-height parking options for optimal under-vehicle access. A convenient pneumatic push-button safety lock control releases all four independent safety locks simultaneously, making height adjustments quick and effortless. For added security, independent backup slack-cable safety latches engage automatically in the unlikely event of cable failure, providing a redundant layer of protection.
Large 12" x 10" base plates ensure a rock-solid foundation, distributing weight evenly and providing exceptional stability. Internal anti-sway slider blocks in each column further enhance rigidity and eliminate unwanted movement during lifting and lowering operations.
Dependable, long-lasting performance is at the heart of the HDSO-14P. Four heavy-duty 1/2" diameter stainless steel aircraft cables (6 x 25 construction) are rated at 14,400 lbs. each—giving the system a combined cable rating of over 411% of the lift's maximum capacity. This aircraft-quality cable is specifically engineered for lifting applications, offering an ideal balance of abrasion resistance and fatigue life. All lifting cables are fully enclosed within the lift structure, keeping them protected from debris and ensuring a clean, professional appearance.
Oversize dual-hub cable sheaves with a massive 10-1/2" diameter and 2-1/4" diameter sheave axles dramatically reduce cable wear and stress, extending the life of critical components and minimizing long-term maintenance costs. Dual-hub sheaves further reduce fatigue and improve reliability. Grease nipples are conveniently located on every sheave and sheave axle, making routine lubrication maintenance fast and easy.
The lift is powered by a single hydraulic cylinder hidden beneath the runway for minimal exposure and maximum reliable performance. BendPak's leak-proof industrial-grade hydraulic cylinder technology is unmatched in the industry:
Each 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 for superior operation and extended service life. High-durometer, mechanically-loaded rod seals eliminate leakage, while an abrasion-resistant urethane rod wiper provides exclusion protection. The welded cylinder body is made from robust steel tubing that exceeds ASTM specifications, ensuring the cylinders remain straight, smooth, and dependable for years. An integrated flow restrictor provides controlled descent in the unlikely event of a hose rupture, adding another layer of safety.
The HDSO-14P incorporates a maintenance-free electric hydraulic power system for ultimate dependability and trouble-free operation. Powered by a 220 VAC / 60 Hz / 1Ph motor, the system delivers consistent, reliable performance and operates at a whisper-quiet 45 dB noise level—ideal for busy shops. The lift raises to full height in just 60 seconds, with a maximum rise of 70 inches and a max lifting height of 77.625 inches. All controls are conveniently located within close reach for ease of operation.
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.
All BendPak HDSO-Series lifts feature a durable, high-quality powder-coat finish in a sleek new gray color. Unlike competitors that cut corners, BendPak takes pride in a meticulous 10-step powder coating process:
First, all parts are visually inspected and sandblasted. They're then washed in BendPak's 5-stage phosphate tanks (accommodating parts up to 25' long) and immediately dried to prevent rust. Next, parts are outgassed (pre-baked) in a curing oven to eliminate potential blemishes hidden in metal pores. After outgassing, threaded holes and surfaces are carefully masked with high-temperature tape and silicone plugs. A quick thinner wipe removes debris and fingerprints before parts are hung on an electrostatically grounded conveyor. The powder is applied using an electrostatic spray gun, "sticking" to the surface like dust on a TV screen. Finally, the parts are cured in a 400°F oven for 45 minutes, resulting in an extremely durable finish that withstands the harshest environmental and chemical conditions.
The runways feature a non-skid surface for maximum grip, even when wet or oily, and include an integrated rail-kit for optional accessories. The runways also adjust for different tread widths, making the lift versatile for any vehicle configuration.
Optional 7,000 lb. capacity rolling jacks (Model RJ-7) make an excellent addition to increase your service capacity. These bridge jacks raise the front or rear portion of a vehicle off the runways, enabling efficient wheel and brake service. Using a pair of jacks, you can elevate the entire vehicle for total undercarriage access. Each jack features telescoping arms and frame contact pads that extend over the runways and position under vehicle lifting points. Telescoping rail supports accommodate adjustable runways for different tread widths. Each jack includes three safety-lock positions and stackable truck/van adapters for increased lifting height and better access to frame contact points on high ground-clearance vehicles. The jacks come equipped with a commercial-grade air-hydraulic pump requiring 125 PSI maximum pressure and 10-20 CFM.
Optional Add-On Alignment Kit (Model #5210142) – Available While Supplies Last
Transform your standard four-post lift into an economical alignment solution. This alignment kit is designed to fit all standard 9K, 12K, and 14K four-post lifts with minimum 19" wide runways. It includes rear slip plates, turnplate pockets, and commercial-grade turnplates to convert your lift for performing two- and four-wheel alignments.
Kit Includes:
Additional options available: integrated rolling bridge airline kit, roll-back kits, drive-thru ramps, and drip trays.
