Professional Two-Post Lift Features

The APEX AL9LC delivers the features master technicians and home mechanics need to efficiently service a wide range of vehicles:

  • 9,000 pounds of capacity – Handles low-slung sports cars to full-size pickups.
  • Flexible arm positioning – Lift symmetrically or asymmetrically.
  • Triple-telescoping front arms, dual-stage rear arms – Access a wide range of vehicle lifting points.
  • Automatic safety locks – Engage every three inches for security.
  • Automatic arm restraints – Keep swing arms in place for peace of mind.
  • Double-telescoping screw pads and stackable adapters – Ensure secure, stable contact.

 “Low ceilings and limited budgets don’t have to dictate a shop’s potential,” said Tyler Rex, BendPak senior director of marketing. “The APEX AL9LC brings premium, uncompromised power to compact workspaces at a price point that makes sense.”

Heavy-Duty & Low-Maintenance

Constructed with high-strength steel and reinforced components, the APEX AL9LC is built to withstand the demands of daily shop use. A heavy-duty 6-inch by 6-inch tubular steel carriage delivers what BendPak called superior load-bearing support, while oversized base plates ensure even weight distribution and stability.

The AL9LC features a proven chain-over design with an industrial-grade leaf chain engineered to endure heavy loads and repeated lifting cycles without stretching or premature wear.

Oversized heavy-duty rollers with Zerk grease fittings, along with self-lubricating UHMW polyethylene guide blocks, reduce friction and wear while helping maintain smooth, consistent operation with minimal maintenance.

Like all APEX by BendPak car lifts, the AL9LC is backed by a three-year warranty and a nationwide support network.
