how tall for xp-10 ?

[Blwngp01]

thinking about ordering a xp-10 from bendpak, for the people who have it, how tall does your ceiling have to be to fit the posts?

I have an XP-10ACX which is 145" tall. My ceiling is 148 1/2" tall. I also have fluorescent lights which run perpendicular to the lift. After installation there is less than 1" clearance between the lift and the bulb. I hope this helps.

I have an XP-10CX. Like livewire said it is 145" tall. I have a 13' 1" ceiling and I have a good foot above it. I absolutely love this lift (My back and knees love it as well ) I mostly work on aircooled vw racecars, but have had my wife's minivan and my 97 Chevy Crewcab Dually up it with no problems. Glad I got the "X" as it is a foot wider. Big difference.

Cool garage!

Just curious. Does the wider XP-10CX really help with the VWs or the mini-van? Or just the 97 Chevy Crewcab Dually?

Thanks. It really helps with everything. Since it is a symmetrical lift I figured the extra width would help with opening the doors, etc. I went with symmetrical because of the rear engine cars, even though they are light, all the weight is still hanging off the back. I had both sym. and assym. at my shop I just sold and preffered the sym for these cars.

how did you all get the arms level? one of mine is about an inch higher then the other. i havent put a car up on it tell i figure this out.

Are the columns plumb?

 

[Dowco9902]

Mine worked out pretty close once the columns were shimmed and plumbed up. There was still some slight differences in the arm pad heights (maybe 1/2" to 3/4" or so) but I was able to swap the arms around to get them all even. I suppose it was due some slight inconsistency in the arm manufacturing?? I dunno, but I can lay a level across from arm to arm and it's right on the money now.

I'm across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on the eastern shore. About 20 minutes past the bridge. I used to work in the Lanham/New Carrollton area when I had my shop. So, you got your lift delivered and up already? That was quick. Did the installation go smoothly?
