BendPak PCL-18B Cross Beam for PCL-18 Mobile Column Lifts
The BendPak PCL-18B Cross Beam is a professional-grade adapter designed specifically for use with BendPak PCL-18 Mobile Column Lifts. This robust support beam transforms your mobile column lift system by enabling wheels-free chassis lifting, giving you complete access to perform wheel service, suspension work, and undercarriage maintenance on heavy-duty commercial vehicles. Engineered with a rugged stainless steel frame and rated for 18,000 lbs. per beam, this cross beam delivers the durability and performance required for the most demanding shop environments.
Complete Wheels-Free Access for Heavy-Duty Vehicles
The PCL-18B Cross Beam is an essential adapter that rests between two PCL-18 mobile lift columns, crossing under the frame of the vehicle being lifted. This innovative solution allows operators to perform comprehensive wheel service on vehicles when using BendPak's mobile lift systems—addressing a critical limitation of standard mobile column lifts.
The cross beam functions as a support bridge that connects two PCL-18 Mobile Column Lifts, enabling you to safely and securely lift most heavy-duty commercial vehicles from their chassis frame. This configuration gives you complete wheels-free access to perform a variety of wheel maintenance, tire service, brake work, and suspension repairs that would otherwise be impossible with standard mobile column configurations.
Why You Need Cross Beams with Mobile Column Lifts
BendPak Mobile Column Lifts are renowned for their mobility and heavy-duty construction, capable of handling big trucks up to 144,000 lbs. with ease. Because of their construction, mobile column lifts utilize the wheels for their lifting function, evenly distributing the weight across every lift column. This gives you the power to perform maintenance underneath vehicles of any size—but it also leaves you without the ability to access your tires or perform wheel-off service work.
The PCL-18B Cross Beam is the answer to this challenge. When installed, the beam's extended frame cradle pads engage the vehicle at the manufacturer-recommended lifting points, allowing easy access to wheels and suspension components. This means you can now service brakes, rotate tires, inspect suspension systems, and perform complete wheel assemblies without compromise.
Adjustable Design for Maximum Versatility
Each PCL-18B Cross Beam comes complete with four frame cradle pads of varying heights and two sliding receivers, making it quick and easy to adjust the height of your pads to match your specific vehicle's lifting requirements. The sliding receivers glide smoothly along the support beam, giving the PCL-18B the versatility to reach virtually any lifting point under your vehicle. This adjustability ensures proper engagement with the frame regardless of vehicle configuration or wheelbase length.
With an 18,000-lb. lifting capacity per beam, the PCL-18B Cross Beam was engineered for durability and safety. When used in a four-beam configuration, the system can lift up to 72,000 lbs., making it ideal for lifting and servicing school buses, municipal trucks, delivery vehicles, and other super-long and heavy vehicle types. The PCL-18B Cross Beam is the perfect tool for the biggest projects your shop encounters.
