BendPak Inc. has introduced its 12AP-SRT, a professional-grade short-rise two-post lift designed for tire shops and other applications.
BendPak developed the 12AP-SRT to help improve technician productivity and ergonomics with a more compact package.
The new lift has a 12,000-pound rated capacity with wingspans that reach most OEM lifting points and the versatility of asymmetrical and symmetrical lifting.
According to BendPak officials, the 12AP-SRT can raise 99% of cars, SUVs and trucks to a comfortable working height. The lift stands at 93.5 inches tall and offers a 47-inch maximum lifting height.
“Major tire retailers have told us they believe that limiting how high their technicians can raise vehicles will reduce the chance of accidents, vehicle damage and technician injury,” says Jeff Kritzer, president and CEO of BendPak.
“The 12AP-SRT lets techs work efficiently and ergonomically around a vehicle while mitigating risk.”
The 12AP-SRT is equipped with a high-horsepower, high-volume power unit that gets vehicles in the air fast.
Like all AP Series two-post lifts, the 12AP-SRT features BendPak’s patent-pending Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System (ASARS) and safety lock system for further protection. ASARS uses a full 360 degrees of forged steel teeth to automatically keep the lift arms in place throughout the vehicle service process. It can withstand an industry-leading 2,000 pounds of side force.
The BendPak 12AP-SRT two-post lift wears the Automotive Lift Institute (ALI) Gold Label and is backed by the BendPak 5-2-1 Warranty that provides five years of coverage on the lift structure, two years on the hydraulic cylinder(s) and power unit, and one year on other components, labor and freight charges.
