Transform your parking space into a high-capacity vehicle storage solution with the BendPak PL-12000DPS, a revolutionary standard rise parking lift engineered for those who own more vehicles than available parking spaces. This dual-platform mechanical parking system features independently-operated platforms, allowing you to maximize parking density in residential garages, commercial facilities, showrooms, and dealerships. With 6,000 lbs. lifting capacity per platform and a compact footprint featuring short runways, the PL-12000DPS delivers unmatched space efficiency—stacking one vehicle above another in the same space required for a single parking stall.
Backed by over 50 years of BendPak engineering excellence as the world's premier parking lift manufacturer, the PL-12000DPS combines cutting-edge design with heavy-duty steel construction and powder-coated finish for long-lasting durability. Whether you're storing cars, light trucks, motorcycles, or ATVs, this lift provides a safe, reliable, and efficient solution that adds instant value to your property without expanding building space.
The PL-12000DP/DPS series represents a breakthrough in vehicle storage technology. Unlike traditional tandem lifts that require both sides to move together, the PL-12000DPS features two completely independent platforms that can be operated separately. Each platform operates autonomously, allowing one vehicle to be lowered while the other side remains elevated and stationary. This revolutionary design eliminates the frustrating need to "shuffle" vehicles from the half of the lift where vehicles are not being accessed—a major time-saver for busy garages and facilities.
The standard rise, short runway configuration of the PL-12000DPS is specifically engineered for facilities with ceiling height constraints while still delivering impressive performance. With a 70.2" maximum rise and 159" runway length, this model provides optimal vehicle clearance and access in standard garage spaces. The 118.5" total height makes it ideal for typical residential garages and commercial facilities where ceiling clearance is limited compared to the extended-height PL-12000DP model.
BendPak's legacy as the world's premier parking lift manufacturer spans over five decades of innovation, engineering excellence, and customer satisfaction. This unmatched experience enables BendPak to deliver optimal parking solutions from initial consultation through design, fabrication, installation, and ongoing support. As the leading turnkey provider for both commercial garages and residential applications, BendPak brings unparalleled expertise to every project.
The cutting-edge PL-12000 series reflects BendPak's continuing commitment to designing and delivering innovative vehicle storage solutions that offer the highest value to customers. As the costs of commercial and residential development increase, gaining additional parking spaces in the same usable footprint provides instant value to your property. These mechanical parking systems are purpose-built to increase parking density and cut costs dramatically over traditional parking methods.
With the strength to handle loads up to 6,000 lbs. per platform (12,000 lbs. total capacity) and a footprint considerably smaller than other mechanical parking systems, the PL-12000DPS delivers more parking capability per square inch than any other lift in its class. The space-saving design allows you to stack one vehicle above another in the same space typically required for a single parking stall—effectively doubling your parking capacity without construction or expansion.
At the heart of the PL-12000DPS is a dependable dual electric-hydraulic power system that provides reliable, consistent power requiring very little service and maintenance over time. Dual hydraulic cylinders work in tandem with heavy-duty galvanized lifting cables, while an intelligent hydraulic circuit ensures precise, equalized lifting of both platforms every time.
Safety is paramount in BendPak's design philosophy. The PL-12000DPS incorporates multiple locks for multi-height parked settings, featuring 6 safety lock positions that allow secure vehicle storage at various heights. Wide baseplates provide maximum stability during operation and parking, while front and rear wheel chocks and built-in wheel stops ensure vehicles remain properly positioned on the runways. Full-width platforms keep bottom vehicles fully protected from any debris or drips from vehicles stored above.
BendPak's promise to deliver a safe parking lift is the most important commitment they make to earn customer trust. With intuitive safety lock systems and easy-to-understand operator controls, users will be pleasantly surprised at how simple and safe the PL-12000DPS is to operate, even for first-time parking lift owners.
Built from heavy-duty steel construction, the PL-12000DPS features a robust superstructure finished with a durable powder-coat finish that resists corrosion, chipping, and wear for years of dependable service. Every component is engineered to commercial-grade standards, ensuring long-term reliability even under demanding daily use.
Performance is equally impressive: high-speed lifting raises vehicles to full height in approximately 45 seconds, minimizing wait times and maximizing efficiency. Lightweight, extended aluminum approach ramps provide smooth vehicle entry and exit, and can be easily stowed when not in use. The 220 VAC / 50/60 Hz / 1 Ph motor delivers consistent, powerful performance, with special voltages available upon request to match your facility's electrical specifications.
The PL-12000DPS is perfect for a wide range of vehicle types and facility applications. Whether you're storing cars, light trucks, motorcycles, or ATVs, this versatile lift provides secure, accessible parking. With 19" wide runways and adjustable runway spacing (35" or 41" between runways), the lift accommodates various wheelbases and vehicle configurations.
The compact 218.5" total length and 221.5" total width allow installation in standard parking spaces and garage bays. With 211" width between posts and 100.25" between short and double posts, the open design provides generous clearance for vehicle maneuvering. The 4.75" minimum runway height ensures ground-level access, while the 68.5" drive-through height provides ample clearance for tall vehicles on the lower level.
BendPak is so confident that the PL-12000DPS will out-perform all other parking lifts that they back this promise with a full five-year warranty—the best warranty in the business. This comprehensive coverage gives you more than just peace of mind; it's proof that BendPak took extra care building your lift and that every precaution was taken to maintain the highest degree of quality, dependability, and reliability.
