My conclusion four years ago was the only feasible way was to buy from a US distributor, preferably one that stocks spare parts. Maybe its changed, but I doubt it. The price was significantly cheaper, almost half; but... (and there's always a catch) I was informed they ship in containers, and...

Here's a couple of pics of my set up....

I used a Harbor Fright compressed air tank instead of an active compressor. The five (5) gallon yellow tank connects to the lift pneumatics and I added a better pressure gauge and a fill valve w/ fitting which allowing me to add air from the shop compressor whenever needed. I get maybe twenty...

I have a standard 16' wide by 7' high double wide hurricane rated garage door. Height of the platform hasn't been an issue except care must been taken when opening the tailgate on an SUV or wagon, (Or the extremely 'long' hatch on the Jag coupe) as the body panels will strike the bottom of the...

The double wide suspension parking lift from Bendpak has worked flawlessly. Its been nearly a year now, and the cables are stretched; so I am getting the installers back here to re-set the locking heights by disconnecting the cable clamps and readjusting the lengths of the cables.... maybe...

Re: Pics of Bendpak Double Wide Parking lift installed My ceilings are 12'0'. Figure about 6-7" needed for the thickness of the platform and another 3" is required for the lift operation to hard lock... it goes above the locking point and settles back down into the hard locking point; so you...

A rolling gantry would be a better choice for getting it off your truck or trailer and into maneuvering it into the pit.

Pics of Bendpak Double Wide Parking lift installed Thought I'd show some pics of the finished lift. I think it turned very nice; and given the constraints of existing garage dimensions, it fits well, and is a very good utilization of available space. It looks a lot more impressive in person...

Nobody wins in court except the lawyers. Actually, once they understood the details of my complaint, I found Bendpak to be very reasonable to deal with. They appeared motivated to quickly resolved the problem; and after they met internally, they offered up a equitable and fair settlement that...

The lift platforms are 'suspended' by four cables. When the platform is resting on the ground to load or unload, obviously its stable. A when fully raised, the cables are only a couple feet in length, and under tension because of the car's weight; so the sway is very minor. However, the...

Thank you JSK. Your customer service rep, Scott P., contacted me today regarding this matter. In addition to the financial consideration, I was pleased to note that Bendpak decided to revise and upgrade their instructions with more user-friendly diagrams and photos. And I would also like to...

Here's a pic of the transformer-rectifier box atop the motor pump unit. Note the spliced wires inside the box. The additional cable on the right side contains two extra wires added to make this thing work. The workaround was done at the direction of the Bendpak engineer at the end of a two...

Bendpak Double wide Suspension Parking Lift PL-6KDT I know lots of people love Bendpak, but I don't anymore. I ordered a new product from them; a double wide suspension parking lift. The quality and workmanship appear to be great, which would be in keeping with a lift that costs $13,000...

I just went through a frustrating four day exercise with Bendpak while installing a double wide cable suspension parking lift. They sent the wrong motor pump unit. It did not have the correct number of pigtail leads to complete the wiring correctly. We might have been able to figure it out...

Re-starting this Thread. I've got an EE6503 installed by Phil Holden last year. I can't reach him today and wondered if others might be able to assist. Problem relates to first safety stop [at 20" level] Sometimes the DownII button will not activate the final lowering. No pneumatic pistons...
