United States. BendPak announced the launch of the new 10AP-SRT Short Two-Post Lift, designed to meet the needs of low-ceiling, high-volume shops, such as tire, brake, wheel, and automotive detailing service centers.
With a 10,000-pound capacity, this model joins the 12,000-pound 12AP-SRT introduced earlier this year, expanding on the successful AP-SRT series.
The 10AP-SRT represents an innovative solution for shops that require the productivity of a two-post lift, but without the height and space demanded by traditional full-lift models. Its compact design, with 93.5-inch-tall columns and a maximum lift of 46.25 inches, makes it ideal for operations in continuous-flow service bays and tight spaces.
"Many shops lift vehicles only partially, but are forced to purchase full-height lifts that cost more, take up more space, and are used at half capacity," said Sean Price, director of product development. "Our 10AP-SRT and 12AP-SRT models are designed precisely to fill that gap: they offer shops cleaner distribution, greater efficiency and an overall safer working environment."
The new model incorporates BendPak's patented triple telescopic swing arms, which allow more lifting points to be reached and adjusted to low-profile vehicles. In addition, it features the patented ASARS (Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System), which uses forged steel components and offers more than 2,000 pounds of holding force, ensuring the safety of the arms during operation.
To optimize performance, the 10AP-SRT is equipped with a high-performance power unit that provides fast lifting speeds, reducing cycle times in workshops. Its flexibility is increased by the possibility of being configured in symmetrical or asymmetrical mode, making it easier to service a wide variety of vehicles.
The 10AP-SRT is certified to the ALI Gold seal, which endorses the highest safety and performance standards in the industry, and comes with the BendPak 5-2-1 warranty: five years for the elevator structure, two years for the hydraulic system, and one year for components, labor, and transportation.
"From sedans to light trucks, the BendPak 10AP-SRT delivers the performance, efficiency and safety that today's shops demand, without the excess height and cost of a full-height lift," added Price.
