    Bendpak cust service! Are you kidding me

    They are an american company they just produce in China. The guy I got on online chat was in California. He was actually the same guy that helped me with my 4 post install 18 months ago that I could dial directly and speak to on the phone. Apparently they just changed their way of handling...

    Bendpak cust service! Are you kidding me

    Well finally the online tech support got on it so I will resend that statement. Still can't believe you can't get someone on the phone. Fidel was very helpful on the online chat. Glad that portion of customer service is alive and well.

    Bendpak cust service! Are you kidding me

    Installing a two post lift. Model GP-7LCS. The directions are dog **** but I can usually figure it out no problem. The directions for my 4 post were dog **** but I figured those out. The illustrations are bad and my parts seem to have changed a bit since the directions were printed. Have...

    Bendpak 4 post lift HD9 vibration

    Called bendpak and they recommended adding some hydraulic anti-chatter fluid to the fluid reservoir. Never heard of this stuff before. Anyone used this and have a brand recommendation?

    Bendpak 4 post lift HD9 vibration

    Well they slide up and down the ladders. I don't really see any adjustability in that area. What would be your suggestion on this? I lubed them up pretty good to minimize friction.

    Bendpak 4 post lift HD9 vibration

    Had a HD9 for a few months now. Been working great. Lately when I am raising or lowering it there seems to be a high frequency vibration developing while it is moving. You cant see anything but can feel it coming through the ramps and at the motor. I have adjusted the cables to adjust for the...

    Success on the safety locks! Thanks for the advice Z2V. Raising it up a couple inches then getting the safety in the correct position and lowering worked perfect!

    Bend pak HD 9 slack safety help please

    I have a crane. I can use that on the front cross tube. Cant get the crane to the rear one because the back wall of the garage is to close. I put 2x10s on the lift point of my floor jack. Makes a much wider platform for the cross tube to sit on and I have no concerns of it slipping off...

    Ok thanks. Going to work on it today. Will have to rig something up to be able to hold both sides at the same time while lowering it back.

    Bend pak HD 9 slack safety help please

    Very helpful information. Thank you. I have never seen one of these lifts in person and the illustrations in the manual leave something to be desired. I was having a hard time understanding how it all worked. Plus when I am manually lifting the cross tubes I am hearing the clicking but not...

    Bend pak HD 9 slack safety help please

    Thanks for the responses. The instructions are ****! I tried manually raising the cross tubes some to get the slack safety to disengage prior to my initial post. The thing is to heavy so I used a floor jack. I guess I went to far because they all ended up engaged again just on the next higher...

    Bend pak HD 9 slack safety help please

    Thanks for the explanation. I have not installed any pneumatic lines or cables yet. With nothing hooked up is it abnormal that both safeties are engaged? Is it ok to proceed? Once I start moving the lift under power will this issue resolve itself?

    Bend pak HD 9 slack safety help please

    I am instilling a HD 9 four post lift. The directions indicate "It is important that the slack safety lock is cleared. The slack safety lock must never rest on the safety ladder". The illustration in the manual leaves something to be desired. Best I can tell all my safety locks are sitting on...
