BendPak 10AP-SRT 10,000 lb. ALI Certified Short-Rise 2-Post Lift | Low Ceiling Solution

The direct - drive hydraulic design was a selling point because I wanted fewer parts to deal with long term. After a few months of regular use, it has been dependable and quieter than the older lift it replaced.

What I like most is the flexibility in the arm setup. Symmetric works well for my pickup, and asymmetric gives me better door clearance on smaller cars during diagnostics.

The short columns were the main reason I chose this model, and they have worked great. Setup took some planning for width and anchor placement, but once installed it feels solid and smooth.

We work in an older building with low beams, so finding a true 10,000 lb lift was difficult. This one solved that problem and still keeps the floor open, which helps a lot when moving around the bay.

This lift was a good fit for my 10 - foot garage ceiling where a standard two - post would not work. It lifts my Jeep high enough for underbody service without feeling cramped underneath.

I bought this for my home garage because most full - size lifts were too tall for the space. It lifts my half - ton truck and sedan without drama, and I still have decent door access when positioning the arms asymmetrically.

I specifically wanted to avoid a base - plate style lift because I did not want anything across the floor. This keeps the center area clear and makes exhaust work and transmission service much less annoying.

I use it mostly for brake jobs, suspension work, and tire rotations on SUVs and crossovers. The single - point lock release is convenient, and the arm restraints engage positively so I do not second - guess the setup.
