Description
Overview
The BendPak PCL-18B Chassis Cross Beam is a support beam that bridges two PCL-18B mobile column lifts and rests under the vehicle frame. It lets operators lift a heavy commercial vehicle by its chassis so the wheels hang free for tire and suspension work.
Mobile column lifts normally support a vehicle by its wheels, which blocks wheel service. The cross beam solves that. Its extended frame cradle pads engage the manufacturer lift points, freeing the wheels while keeping the load on the chassis. The kit includes the stacking adapter set referenced in the supplier listing.
