Yet another pic.

It’s in the origins post, first post.

I just uploaded a pic of the motor mount and curious if you still think that is from shipping. It even looks more worn exactly where the bolts go through and then the whole piece is worn down but everything around the mount is in good shape. Just curious to get your perspective

Re: Bendpak is seriously ****! Very accurate summary of the situation. Well done.

Re: Bendpak is seriously ****! For clarity the reasons think this lift might have been used is due to wear that looks very different from shipping damage. Examples. Worn paint where motor mounts on column, not scratches. Deep grooves exactly where runways hit cross members and also heavy marks...

Re: Bendpak is seriously ****! Updated original post.

Re: Bendpak is seriously ****! Replied, thank you.

Re: Bendpak is seriously ****! I'm pleased your bolt came out easily, so did the front bolt on mine. However, as I stated, that is what the rear looked like before I touched i, i.e. it was stripped from the factory or previous owner which is my assumption. I even took the cylinder to a shop...

Re: Bendpak is seriously ****! Let me try to clear up a couple of things that I have read in the comments here: 1) Again, I do not care about the scratches - that is fine - what I care about is it really looks like the lift has been used. heavy wear marks were components bolt together, motor...

Re: Bendpak is seriously ****! On the plug, I'm saying the hex head is stripped out - that's a photo before we touched it. Assume the threads are okay but head is stripped out - how can that be if not used in someway.

Re: Bendpak is seriously ****! I hear you but here is the thing - I have very limited spare time so I planned to have the weekend off work and free from family activities. I expect the product to at least function, scratches are one thing but stripped bolts and just non operating condition is...

I’ve long been following the discussions of Bendpak vs Backyard Buddy and I just have to add my recent experience. I just got my lift in and started the install process this weekend and I’m beyond disappointed. To get to the point i really think they sold me a used lift, I feel cheated. Every...

I have searched but cannot find this particular question. Can the approach ramps and wheel stops be installed on either side of the lift? I understand the Hydraulic lift mechanism only goes on one column but I want to have the approach ramps on the same side as that mechanism and I do not see...
