BendPak releases new short-rise two-post lift

Jan. 30, 2025
The 12AP-SRT can raise 99 percent of cars, trucks, and SUVs to a height of 47".

BendPak announced the release of the 12AP-SRT Short Two-Post Lift, specially designed for tire shops and other applications that don't require standing under the vehicle. 

The 12AP-SRT has a 12,000-lb rated capacity, allowing users to pick up 99 percent of cars, trucks, and SUVS on the market and raise them to a comfortable working height up to 47". It can be used for both symmetric and asymmetric lifting and uses a high-horsepower, high-volume power unit to quickly and securely lift vehicles. The lift also uses the company's Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System that keeps lift arms in place and can withstand up to 2,000 lbs of side force. It comes with BendPak's 5-2-1 warranty.

What people are saying

Jeff Kritzer, BendPak president and CEO, said, “Major tire retailers have told us they believe that limiting how high their technicians can raise vehicles will reduce the chance of accidents, vehicle damage, and technician injury. The 12AP-SRT lets techs work efficiently and ergonomically around a vehicle while mitigating risk.”
