Installer in Kentucky for BendPack 4 post lift?

[jwvess00]

I'm planning on buying a BendPack HD9 4 post lift. My first plan was to have it delivered to the FedEx Freight terminal next door to where I work (or possibly to the shipping dock where I work, which may also be an option). I would have to rent a trailer, and possibly a truck (my long-bed S10 is V8-swapped and has upgraded brakes, and technically has a 5000 tow rating even when it was stock, but only a bumper hitch, so I'd probably just rent a U-Haul pickup truck). I was going to assemble it with a couple of friends.

Delivering to my house won't work as I don't have a forklift or tractor to unload the delivery truck and haul it back to my shop. If I take delivery at a terminal I can unload it piecemeal at home.

Coordinating the rentals with the shipping seemed fussy, so I started to think about just having it brought to my house outside of Lexington, KY and even installed (more money than renting and DIY but may be worth it?). In my quick searches, though, I didn't find any BendPak installers close enough for the job. That seems really unlikely to me, but my digging so far hasn't turned anything up.

Anyone have any recommendations for BendPak installers in Kentucky?

Look into other brands on lifts and ask them if they will install your bendpak. Odds are it will costs more as they didnt sell you the lift,

I bought a Bendpak HD9 4 poster about 15 years ago with a air/hyd sliding jack. I picked it up at the freight carrier in my area with my 20' equipment trailer. I tracked the shipping. It was on three trucks and two rails systems which seemed nuts. I removed the pieces with an engine hoist from the trailer, and I assembled the whole thing in one day by myself (and a little help from the wife) just using my engine hoist. They are not too tricky to put together.

Just look for a garage equipment supplier that services your area. My 4 post lift was delivered and assembled by a company that didn’t sell the brand I bought, but they service all brands throughout the New England and New York area.
