    Your suggestions for wiring a safety disconnect switch for a two post lift?

    Another good option would be a Square D. 30A 2-pole manual motor switch. Class-2510 KG-1 (standard NEMA-1 enclosure) or KGJ-1 (oversize NEMA-1 enclosure) Bill http://ecatalog.squared.com/catalog/174/html/sections/16/17416003.pdf

    Bendpak customer service

    John, thanks for the info. I have similar Fords to lift, a E250 138"WB, E150 138" WB, 1974 F350 138"WB Stake Bed, F250 PSD 155" WB, and F150 117" WB. I probably could get by with the HD9 but I feel more comfortable with the HD-12. Bill
