The BendPak HD-9AE is the best 9,000-lb. alignment lift money can buy. Built with the same exacting standards, CE Approved and ALI Certified quality, and comprehensive warranty as every professional-grade BendPak lift, the HD-9AE delivers exceptional performance where it counts most: in busy wheel service bays. Whether you're aligning passenger cars, light-duty trucks, or SUVs, this four-post lift handles the workload with precision and reliability.
Wheel service is a major revenue driver for most shops, so dependability and efficiency are non-negotiable. The HD-9AE is engineered to keep your bay running smoothly with fast turnaround, precise positioning, and minimal maintenance. Its 9,000-lb. capacity provides ample support for a wide range of vehicles, and the 70" max rise gives you excellent working height. With multi-caster slip plates in the rear and corrosion-resistant turn plates up front, free-floating alignments are effortless and accurate.
This lift is built for the long haul. Heavy-duty 1/2" diameter stainless-steel aircraft-quality lifting cables are routed internally through reinforced post structures, protecting them from chemicals, weather, and oil. Dual-hub 10.5" diameter cable sheaves with grease fittings ensure smooth operation and extended service life. The integrated hydraulic flow restrictor guarantees level ascents and descents while preventing sudden drops. Spring-loaded safety locks with a push-button pneumatic release provide fast, reliable lock engagement at 12 adjustable height positions, and a secondary lock system detects cable slack to halt lift functions immediately if tension is compromised.
Multi-Caster Slip Plates
Free-floating alignments are made simple with rear-mounted multi-caster slip plates. Combined with front-positioned turn plates, this configuration allows for the most precise wheel alignments in the industry. Your alignments are faster, more accurate, and easier to execute.
Corrosion-Resistant Turn Plates
Galvanized turn plates resist rust and corrosion for long-lasting performance. BendPak's dual recessed turn plate pockets ensure precise positioning every time, providing optimal clearance for alignment equipment installations and vehicle positioning.
Adjustable Height Locking Positions
With 12 locking positions spaced every 4 inches, you can raise turn plates to eye level for easy inspection or lower them for setting 3D alignment pads and rolling equipment into place. Each position locks automatically and releases instantly with the push of a button, giving you total versatility.
Aircraft-Quality Lifting Cables
The HD-9AE uses 1/2" diameter 6 x 25 stainless-steel cables, routed internally through the post structures for maximum protection. These cables are built to resist chemicals, weather, oil, and daily wear, ensuring decades of trouble-free service in the busiest shops.
Dual-Hub Cable Sheaves
Featuring 10.5" diameter cable sheaves and 2.25" diameter sheave axles, the HD-9AE uses the same over-engineered cable routing system found on BendPak's full-size car lifts. Grease nipples on every sheave and axle make lubrication simple and extend component life dramatically.
Integrated Hydraulic Flow Restrictor
The built-in hydraulic flow divider is a critical safety feature that guarantees level ascents and descents while preventing catastrophic drops. Even in a worst-case scenario, the HD-9AE is incapable of crashing to the floor, giving you total peace of mind.
Spring-Loaded Safety Locks
Durable springs automatically engage the locks as the platform ascends over each ladder position. Even on slightly sloped floors, the spring-loaded locks accommodate for tilt and keep the lift rising evenly at all times.
Push-Button Pneumatic Lock Release
Release all four locks simultaneously with a single button press. The aircraft-quality stainless steel and aluminum pneumatic cylinders minimize service requirements and make all maintenance tasks fast and easy.
Secondary Lock System
An additional safety feature detects cable slack and immediately halts all lift functions the instant less-than-ideal cable tension is detected. This backup system ensures your vehicle and technicians are always protected.
Fully Integrated Design
All cables, airlines, safety latches, and sheaves are safely enclosed within the lift structure. This integrated design extends component lifespans, prevents damage, and keeps your bay looking clean and professional.
Maintenance-Free Power System
The electric-hydraulic power unit is designed for minimal upkeep. The easy-to-read, ergonomic control panel features logically arranged stop/start buttons, warning indicators, and emergency halt controls for fast access and intuitive operation. The system operates on 220 VAC / 60 Hz / 1 Ph power and is remarkably quiet at just 45 dB.
Non-Skid Runways
Textured 19" wide runways prevent skids even when wet or oil-splashed. Heavy vehicles stay firmly in place during alignments, eliminating the risk of slipping or sliding.
Longer Approach Ramps
Extended entry and exit ramps provide easy access for both low-clearance sports cars and high-riding trucks and SUVs. You'll never have to worry about scraping bumpers or undercarriages.
Flexible Protective Conduit
A thick, durable rubber conduit protects all airlines and hydraulic hoses from damage. The conduit is flexible, non-conductive, and resistant to chemicals and oil, ensuring long-lasting protection without restricting hose positioning.
Durable Powder-Coat Finish
The entire lift is coated with a durable powder-coat finish in New Gray, providing excellent corrosion resistance and a professional appearance that stands up to years of heavy use.
Want to perform wheel and brake service on the same lift you use for alignments? Add optional rolling bridge jacks to eliminate the need to move vehicles between lifts. The telescoping arms and frame contact pads extend over the runways to reach the vehicle's lifting points, and the fully adjustable design accommodates different tread widths with three locking positions for your convenience.
