Bendpax xrp 10as

[xlntryde]

Looking to purchase a 2 post lift looking at tuxedo tp11kac-dx, a used bendpax xpr 10as. Anyone with the bendpax xpr 10as does the arms lift both asymmetrical and symmetrical? Im lifting a jeep, challenger. And cummins cclb

Get a newer 3 stage arm spo12 for a versatile lift. Otherwise a challenger clv3 works good for that

Screw bendpacks. Your 1 ton long wheel base is the problem for most symmetrical lifts

I was just looking at bendpax cause its local, priced nice and looks new

Why screw BP? They make the most versatile line up, carry some good quality extras (Ranger, etc) and have an army of satisfied users - me being one, although no direct experience with assym. I had the 10K 4 post and now have a MaxJax and love it.

Cause it’s mainly marketing from them
Go use them side by side everyday compared to a rotary or a challenger and you won’t be as impressed anymore.

Sure, but most lifts in home garages are not used anywhere near everyday and the cost difference isn't insignificant

Easy to spend other people’s money.

My plow truck has been on my BP getting brakes, brake lines, and clutch lines for three weeks, and I don’t even know how much longer it will be until it comes off.

Priorities, you know.

Totally different world than a commercial shop.

Which BP?

Which BP?

It’s a 10k asymmetric. Don’t recall the model number. Probably six or eight years old now.

I’ve got two 12k rotaries, an 18k rotary and a 10k challenger clv3. Add up what all those two posts costs, I’ve spent plenty

Lift the truck fine? Thats my only concern with asymmetrical.

I lifted my old Super Duty crew cab dually on it several times. I sold that truck, though.

I’m more comfortable with a single cab super Duty or something like the SWB K1500 that’s on it now.

I would seriously consider a 12k lift for a lwb Super duty crew cab. Tough to get good lift points and balance correctly on such a long truck. Would be easier if you did it daily.

For me, asymmetric is almost a must, as even set wide, access through the drivers door is challenging. Maybe losing some weight would make it easier..

Yea I trying to get it figured out. My father inlaw has a 9k Mohawk. Lifts my cclb cummins with ease, but his is symmetrical. It ***** lifting my daughter's accord and challenger.

It’s simple, symmetrical works great for trucks. All crew cab trucks on my small sym I place where drivers door opens full in front of rack

My 12k with three stage arms front and back that’s symmetrical I rack cars like it’s on an asy because of arm min/max and you can do that….,

Long wheel base trucks are killer on an asy.

I also have a 30k 2 post lift but that hardly can even pickup a regular cab pickup

I have the BP10 k two post, and both an Advantage 9k and 11k four post. The addition of the four posts was cheaper than constructing brick and mortar floor space.

Mine have zero ROI, and zero tax write off opportunities, though, since I’m just a retired old guy.

Although I would never turn down a Mohawk at BP prices, the hobby lifts are more than adequate for someone like me. In fact, I suspect they’re somewhat of an overkill, and the more budget oriented / priced lifts out there would do the job.

Professional, high cycle use puts things in a different light.

I’m actually not a Mohawk fan. They are stout, well built, heavy and last BUT they are cumbersome, arm design, min/max arm length, adaptor stacking/sfrew apadtors/arm size make them a very poor user friendly lift experience compared to my spo12 rotary’s

This asymmetrical lift has 3 stage arms just on the front

I have that exact 10k asymmetrical Bendpak and love it. This is also my crew cab 2500HD Duramax on it with no issues.

The ONLY thing is, I currently load my ‘69 C10 on backwards, because it has no weight over the rear since the box has been pulled off and the frame was stripped on a regular cab (stripped interior as well with no bench) and full running engine upfront, so the balance was VERY front end heavy only. Works like a charm and is sturdy as hell this way.

But the 3 stage arms front and back are what makes it

This is the xpr 10as?

It's definitely stout man but im just a hobbiest

I guess I agree with you to some extent on the Mohawk. They look hell for stout, but for a given lift rating, the uprights are massive, and consume a lot of space in the shop. That translated to sub par engineering in an engineering eye, but “go big or go home” in a layman’s eyes.

That said, they have the mystique and field reputation of envy, even if they **** for space utilization in a small shop.

The arms are too bulky, don’t go out far enough, retract short enough and height adaptors leave you wanting different. That’s why I don’t like it, cause in end user and one application requires precision arm/height placement.

 

[aggie113]

Haven't put any heavy duties on it, but no troubles with newer F150 crew cabs on my BendPak XPR-10AXLS. But the arms are only able to do one way (AS- asymmetrical)

 

[Basketcase]

This is the xpr 10as?

Yes it is

 

[zkdiesel]

This is why rotary is superior. Will pickup a 2 door jeep or a smart car with arms racked asy. Or pickup a long wheelbase service box diesel 4x4 with transfer tank, torches and a bed loaded full of construction equipment. I did have him pull the breaker out of the bed before bringing it over
