The BendPak OctaFlex™ 12DPS is a 12,000-lb capacity two-post lift featuring an innovative eight-arm lifting system that allows technicians to safely service everything from passenger vehicles to heavy-duty trucks, EV battery packs, drivetrains, and cab-off repairs.
With triple-telescoping arms, independently adjustable auxiliary lift-assist arms, Bi-Metric™ symmetric/asymmetric operation, and Direct-Drive hydraulic technology, the OctaFlex 12DPS delivers unmatched versatility, precision, and productivity for professional automotive service shops.
The Most Innovative Two-Post Car Lift Ever Built
Modern vehicle repairs demand more than a traditional two-post lift can provide. From electric vehicle battery pack removal to cab-off diesel truck service, the BendPak OctaFlex™ 12DPS is engineered to tackle today's most complex repairs with a revolutionary lifting system that combines a 12,000-lb two-post lift with an integrated 6,000-lb auxiliary lift-assist system.
Unlike conventional automotive lifts, the OctaFlex allows technicians to support both the vehicle and major components—including truck cabs, drivetrains, subframes, and EV battery packs—on a single, stable platform. The result is faster repairs, improved alignment, and a safer, more efficient workflow for professional automotive service facilities.
Revolutionizing Cab-Off Truck Repairs
Cab-off diesel service is one of the most labor-intensive procedures in the automotive industry, often requiring multiple jacks, support stands, and constant repositioning of heavy components. The OctaFlex 12DPS simplifies the entire process by allowing technicians to support both the chassis and cab simultaneously while maintaining precise alignment throughout disassembly and reassembly.
Keeping both assemblies supported on one lifting system minimizes unnecessary movement, reduces technician effort, shortens repair times, and helps eliminate the frustrating trial-and-error alignment commonly associated with traditional repair methods.
Built for Electric Vehicle Battery Service
As electric vehicle adoption continues to grow, safely removing and reinstalling large EV battery packs has become a critical capability for modern repair shops. The OctaFlex auxiliary lifting system supports heavy battery assemblies directly beneath the vehicle, providing technicians with greater stability and control during battery service without requiring multiple pieces of lifting equipment.
This integrated design creates a safer, more organized work environment while improving efficiency for EV maintenance and repairs.
One Lift. Multiple Service Solutions.
The OctaFlex platform combines four primary lifting arms with four independently adjustable auxiliary lift-assist arms, allowing technicians to support vehicles and major assemblies simultaneously. The primary lift provides a 12,000-lb lifting capacity, while the auxiliary system delivers an additional 6,000 lbs of component support for engines, transmissions, battery packs, subframes, and truck cabs.
By integrating both lifting functions into a single platform, technicians can complete complex repairs with fewer interruptions, less equipment, and significantly improved workflow.
Maintain Alignment Throughout the Entire Repair
One of the biggest challenges during major vehicle repairs is maintaining alignment between large components after disassembly. The OctaFlex system keeps the vehicle and its assemblies positioned relative to one another throughout the repair process, allowing components to be reinstalled more naturally and accurately.
This improved stability reduces unnecessary adjustments, decreases labor time, and increases consistency on repeat repairs, making the OctaFlex especially valuable for high-volume service departments.
Triple-Telescoping Lift Arms for Maximum Vehicle Coverage
Patent-pending triple-telescoping swing arms provide exceptional reach while retracting farther than conventional lift arms, making it easier to properly position lift points on a wider variety of vehicles. Whether servicing compact passenger cars, SUVs, electric vehicles, heavy-duty pickups, or commercial trucks, technicians benefit from faster positioning and improved lifting flexibility.
Designed for High-Volume Professional Shops
Built with BendPak's proven Direct-Drive hydraulic technology, a clear-floor design, heavy-duty construction, and self-lubricating load bearings, the OctaFlex 12DPS delivers the durability and reliability professional repair facilities demand. Industrial-grade hydraulic components and simplified maintenance requirements help maximize uptime while supporting years of dependable daily operation.
For dealerships, diesel repair centers, fleet maintenance facilities, and EV service shops, the OctaFlex provides an innovative lifting solution that increases productivity while preparing businesses for the future of vehicle repair.
Why Choose the BendPak OctaFlex 12DPS?
Traditional two-post lifts are designed solely to raise vehicles. The BendPak OctaFlex 12DPS goes far beyond conventional lifting by integrating vehicle support and component handling into one advanced platform. The result is safer repairs, faster turnaround times, improved technician efficiency, and greater versatility for servicing today's increasingly complex vehicles.
