4-Post Lift Color – Poll

If you had a choice, what would color combination would you pick?

We are considering offering three different color combinations to satisfy a wider variety of customer preference. Because changing colors on an assembly line is difficult, we are thinking about making the columns the only color specific components.

• All parts of the lift excluding the approach ramps, tire stops and wheel chocks (safety yellow) would be painted a gun-metal gray wrinkle finish. DETAIL SHOWN BELOW.

The columns would be available in three colors….

• Classic BendPak Blue – Standard Color
• Seca Red
• Gun Metal Gray

Join the poll and give us some insight as to what you guys think would be the best offering mix.

Gun metal looks the best followed by the red than the trad blue, i personally like the options of dif colors but think you might run into people who are conditioned to the old blue look. My 2 cents go for it.

You're killing me! Waiting on my lift to arrive next week. Blue is my opinion but of course thats all I have ever seen in person on Bendpaks and competitors.

Gray

I would go with the blue with these choices but would like a yellow.

Blue is good.

I guess some folks are worried about the color of their lift. For me, I like the blue...and the fact that it's all blue. I really would dislike the ramps in yellow with any color.

My HD9 is all blue and just fine with me. That being said, the grey is good too.

Blue was a natural for me as I a) have Bendpack Lifts and b) have blue Extreme Toolboxes. My yellow Sonett also looks sweet on the blue lift.

Another 'x' on blue.
Will help brighten up the shop a bit - gray is too dark.

Painting or powdercoating? And I would bet if you added an additional 3 colors to your selection you would sell them. I'd add in an orange, a yellow and a green.

But then that's me. It just seems that industries all carry the same colors no matter where you go. Red, Blue, and Gray are the basics.

As an example, look at how many colors Snap-On and Matco have in their toolbox line and sell. But I understand the changeover time and difficulty in doing so.
