I have had my HD9 installed in my garage for about 2 years now and I noticed some surface rust forming on the edges of the foot plates. I am not concerned for now but I do not want this to become a bigger issue over time as my garage does see moisture from wet cars etc. and road salt during the...

as the title says, I have a very slow oil leak from my bendpak hd9 (new last month) from where the piston enters the cylinder. It only amounts to about 1 drop of oil every couple of times the lift is raised / lowered. I only use my lift a few times a week as it is mostly for vehicle storage...

I know there has been a lot about the use of cheap jack stands and racedeck flooring getting damaged from small edges supporting large loads over time. My question is with a cheapo sears floor jack like the one imaged below. Will this damage my racedeck if I use this jack to do a tire rotation...

Got my HD9-ST installed today by local lift company. When it is sitting on the locks, the lift is level, however when raising, one corner is about a full second behind the other 3 to "click" for each lock it passes... Is this an easy adjustment? From what I can reason, the ladder does not...

I was curious what the amp rating is on the 110v motor of the hd-9 lift. I will be having one installed next week and was hoping to be able to use a high quality power strip as a make shift kill switch for the lift, but need to make sure I get one that has the appropriate draw. Can someone...

So my 4 post lift will be installed next week, Bendpak HD-9ST. I would like to error on the side of safety, and if my lift raises too high my car will be in the ceiling. I know many people put in kill switches, either manual or rig and automatic kill switch to prevent such things or unwanted...

I ordered my Bendpak HD-9ST last week and I wanted to make sure i have everything I need for the air requirment when my local dealer comes to install. Is the connection on the lift simply a 3/8" male thread that I can screw any standard 1/4" air hose with 3/8" fastener to, or is there a special...

I need some help from you guys with 4 post Bendpak lifts. I currently only have a very small air compressor 1.5 gallon tank with 150 psi max pressure. It does have a regulator built in so I can dial down the pressure to whatever specs necessary to opporate the locks. My question is, how many...

Found a local distributor / installer for my Bendpak HD-9 purchase in a couple months. I was just curious if anyone has purchased from Portage Lift or had them do an installation? I was going to purchase from ASE online but if the price is the same, I am all for supporting the local guys as...

Finally ordered my racedeck tiles yesterday! This is part of my summer project to do a high lift conversion on my 2 car garage, put in a 4 post lift to be able to park a third car in it, and put down the Racedeck tiles to cover my 5-6 year old Rustoleam epoxy from Lowes that is starting to...

I have a question about 4 post lifts and the potention for a malfunction (sticky) power button. I know some people create a safety cutoff switch for this and others have said you can simply pull down the hydraulic release handle and yell for help. My question is this... If the power button...

I will be installing RaceDeck diamond floor tiles as part of my garage makeover this summer. Looking at the customer gallary on thier website has left me underwhelmed from a design standpoint. Seems like everyone is either simple checkerboard or boxes with a boarder around it. I wanted to try...

Can anyone give me a recommendation on a good PDR guy in the Cleveland OH area... or should I just go with Dent Wizard b/c they are a large chain. I kind of like the idea of a guy comming to my house to do the work in my garage while I watch the majic... Anyone know any good PDR guys in North...

Just curious if anyone has or knows if the Direct Lift Pro-Jack 3500 or Atlas RJ-35 is compatible with the Bendpak HD9-ST lift? http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=TPPROJACK%2D3500 http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/Atlas-RJ-35-Sliding-Jack-p/xh-projack35.htm I do...

Okay guys, I am well aware from the posts I have been reading since recently joining this forum that most here are huge fans of Bendpak lifts. I agree thier reputation is top notch and customer service seems to match. I am trying to make final decisions between the HD9-ST and a new product...

I am in the process of shopping 4 post lifts and have pretty much settled on the Bendpak HD9-ST. My only concern is the height, I would love to be able to limit the lift to only raise to just above the 2nd last lock. The lock position to the top of the runway is 67" and I would love to limit...

Hi guys, I am new to the forum and am in the market for a 4 post garage lift mostly for storage of a 3rd car in a 2 car garage with slightly over 10' ceilings. I have narrowed my search to the Bendpak HD-9ST or the new 7,000lb model by Qualify Lifts (a division of Challanger) though I think I...
