My Bendpak HD7W did something similar. It studdered going up and down. At firts without a load and then later with or without a load. It turned out that is was suffering from cylinder stick/slip.I bought a Caterpillar Tractor hyd. additive for this condition from a local cat dealer. Problem solved!

I bought a HD7WBendpak from ASE Deals. It's a great product. I had one pin that wouldn't take grease, so BendPak quickly mailed me a new one. I added Caterpillar hyd. oil additive for cylinder stick/slip and I use the lift weekly with no issues. Best investment I've made for my garage...

I also live outside of Chicago and paid 600.00 for delivery and install for a bendpak 4 post

I went with a high quality exterior white semi gloss on my lift stall. The light reflection is considerable as compared to the beige flat on the other end. Easy to wipe dirt off as well.

I have a bendpak hd7w that I installed two years ago. I ran an air line straight off the compressor without any oilers. It works flawlessly. I love not having to connect an air line every time I lower it. I use the lift several time per week.

I just installed a DDM Garage door kit which raised my 9'x7' Ideal door an additional 42". My ceiling is 12'9" and the door now hugs the ceiling and is at 12'5" off the floor when raised. DDM provided me with all the needed springs, hardware and detailed instructions for $199. I was able to...

I have a HD-7W on order and was wondering if I should hard plumb an air line to the lift or just use my air hose to unlock the lift? The lift will be anchored to the floor so I will not ever move it. Can I "permanently" run a flexible hose to the lift and just leave it or does it have to be...

I will post my results in a few weeks. I'm installing a BendPak HD-7W in my 3rd bay. The ceiling height is 12'9'' and the door is a 9'x8' Ideal. I just ordered a DDM Garage Door high lift kit which will raise my door rails from the existing 102" to 144". Thanks akdiesel. I too am in no hurry to...

I'm ready to purchase a HD7W BendPak lift and I am finding it difficult to get a straight answer relative to the needed amps required. The distributor told me that he thinks the 220V requires a 30A circuit and the 110V a 20A circuit? Also, what is the advantage of the 220V over the 110V?? I...

Looking for a 4 post lift for sale. Standard width and extended height .

I agree, a 160k BTU is huge! I have a 75k BTU in my 33 x 23 and it will heat the space in just a few minutes even at zero outside temps or less. Good luck.

Mister68, Did you cut the original tracks at the curve in half and then splice in straight segments? How did you attach the straight length pieces to the curved track segments? How did you determine the lengths of the spliced in straight pieces to get the door clearance you were looking for? Thx!

Thanks Mister68! I am going to attempt to do the same exact thing. Looks like it was designed that way. Great job!

What is the best method to raise my door opener to accommodate a high lift 4 post lift. I am purchasing a Bendpak HD-7W which has 86" of vertical travel. I need to raise my opener about 24". My ceiling is 149" high and the the opener is at 102" I'd like to move it to at least 125". Can I just...

I have spent the last several months investigating a new 4 post lift for my 3rd stall of the garage. I decide to purchase a BendPak due to a careful analysis of (6) lift manufacturers'. I physically looked at Atlas,Direct,Forward and BackYard Buddy lifts. Unfortunately, I have not seen a...
