The APEX 96" Lightweight Foam 4-Post Ramp Kit is an ultra-light hook-nose upgrade designed specifically for BendPak HD-973P and HD-973PX lifts. Each 96-inch ramp provides 11 inches of lift with a shallow 6-degree approach angle, making it much easier for low-clearance vehicles to climb without scraping bumpers or bodywork. Built from high-density structural foam with a rugged textured coating and reinforced hook nose, these ramps are made to fit directly into the HD-973P and HD-973PX ramp pockets as a direct replacement for the factory steel ramps. Once you make the switch to APEX, you will not want to deal with heavy stock ramps again.
If you own a BendPak HD-973P or HD-973PX four-post lift, you already know the story. The lift is great. The factory ramps are not. They are heavy, awkward, and just steep enough to make low cars scrape every time they climb on. The 96" Lightweight Foam 4-Post Ramp Kit from APEX fixes all of that in one upgrade.
Each ramp replaces traditional steel or aluminum drive-on ramps with a long, lightweight, hook-nose design. You still get full four-post functionality, but now with a 6-degree approach angle and ramps you can move with one hand instead of bracing your whole body and hoping your back survives.
Designed Specifically For BendPak HD-973P / HD-973PX
These four-post lift race car ramps are engineered exclusively for BendPak HD-973P and HD-973PX triple-stack parking lifts that use removable, drop-in steel ramps. The hook nose geometry, ramp profile, and pocket engagement are precisely matched to these models for a true drop-in fit.
This kit is not intended for use on other lifts, even if the ramp pockets appear similar. Always confirm your lift model before installation. Improper fitment can result in unsafe operation.
96 Inches Long, 11 Inches Of Lift, 6 Degrees Of Confidence
The dimensions are intentional. At 96 inches long with 11 inches of lift, each ramp delivers a smooth, gradual run-up that low-clearance vehicles can handle without drama. The 6-degree approach angle reduces the breakover point between the shop floor and runways, helping protect splitters, lips, and long front overhangs.
The added length also benefits longer wheelbase vehicles and modern performance cars. Instead of a sudden transition, the chassis rotates gradually and predictably from initial contact to full runway support.
Hook Nose That Actually Locks In
Many foam ramps rely on surface-mounted plates that can loosen or separate over time. APEX takes a different approach.
Each ramp features a contoured, reinforced hook nose insert that extends deep into the structural foam core. This creates a true mechanical bond, not just a surface attachment. The result is a secure fit in the lift pocket that stays consistent over time.
High Density EPS Structural Foam Core
At the core of every APEX ramp is a proprietary high-density expanded polystyrene (EPS) structure. This closed-cell material is engineered to support heavy loads while remaining exceptionally lightweight.
This is not hollow plastic or thin metal. It is a full-depth structural core that distributes weight evenly across the ramp. Under load, it feels solid and stable without flex, noise, or movement.
The EPS core also resists moisture, oil absorption, and corrosion, making it ideal for real-world shop conditions.
Rugged Polyurea Coating That Grips And Protects
The foam core is fully encapsulated in a high-performance polyurea elastomer coating. This durable outer layer resists abrasion, impacts, and chemical exposure while maintaining flexibility.
The coating is chemically bonded to the foam, preventing peeling or separation. A micro-textured surface enhances grip on both tires and shop floors, helping keep ramps stable during use.
Lighter Than Steel, Smarter Than Aluminum
Factory steel ramps are heavy and difficult to handle. Aluminum options reduce weight but still require effort. APEX ramps take it further with a design that is dramatically easier to move, position, and store.
Integrated handling features make each ramp easy to carry, encouraging proper use and storage. When ramps are easy to handle, they actually get used the way they should.
Built For Real Shops And Serious Home Garages
The 96" Lightweight Foam 4-Post Ramp Kit from APEX is built for people who actively use their lifts. Whether in a professional shop or a serious home garage, these ramps improve workflow, protect low vehicles, and reduce physical strain.
Drive on, raise the lift, complete the job, and drive off. No heavy lifting, no scraping, no frustration. Once you switch to APEX, going back to factory ramps does not make sense.
