Description
Overview
The BendPak HDS-14 is a 14,000 lb capacity four-post lift built for service bays that put heavy-duty, oversized vehicles on the runways every day. It pairs a single under-runway hydraulic cylinder with fully enclosed cables and safety locks, so the shop gets a clean, dependable platform for trucks, vans, and larger SUVs.
For a working shop, the payoff is uptime and confidence under the vehicle. Oversized 10.5 inch cable sheaves, four 1/2 inch aircraft-quality lifting cables, and multi-position spring-loaded safety locks reduce cable fatigue and give the operator a stable, repeatable lift across a 70 inch rise. It is a long-service lift you can put to work in a busy bay and a sensible addition to a shop's auto service equipment lineup.
Key Features
- 14,000 lb lifting capacity - Rated for heavy-duty and oversized vehicles, with a 7,000 lb maximum rating on each axle.
- 70 inch maximum rise - Lifts to a 77.5 inch maximum height with 15 locking positions spaced every 4 inches for variable-height work and leveling.
- Dual-hub cable sheaves - 10.5 inch diameter sheaves on 2.25 inch axles cut cable wear and stretch component life.
- Enclosed cables and safety locks - Cables, airlines, latches, and sheaves run inside the structure to minimize pinch points and protect against wear.
- Spring-loaded safety locks with pneumatic release - Locks engage continuously during rise and release with a single push-button.
- Secondary slack-cable system - An independent backup latch guards against a cable failure event.

Who It's For
This lift is sized for commercial service bays and fleet shops that regularly work under heavy-duty and oversized vehicles. Plan for a 220 VAC single-phase circuit, a 30 psi minimum air supply for the lock release, and a level concrete floor that meets BendPak's minimum requirements.
Shipping and Freight
This unit ships as Oversize freight at roughly 2,605 lb. Delivery is by LTL carrier on a pallet, and a forklift or equivalent equipment is recommended for offload.
