ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2006 Certified Product

Dare to Compare / Separating Fact From Fiction

To often in the DIY auto lift market, manufacturers rely on the dissemination of innacurate information and creative advertising ploys in order to sell inferior products. Babco recommends that anyone in the market for an auto lift thoroughly conduct comparative research of all the options before ulitmatley deciding which lift to purchase. In an effort to assist the customer in navigating the various factual gray-areas and minefields of misinformation, Bendpak compiled this study for your consideration.

A Full Range of Lift Models to Choose From

BendPak has 72 unique lift models ranging from lightweight to super-duty. Many "hobby" lift companies could not come close to a fraction of lifts BendPak sells globally. Investigate thoroughly on the web using several search engines to see how many pages other, lesser-known lift companies appear on when compared to a true world-leader like BendPak.

Optional Equipment

Many valuable options are available for your BendPak four-post lift.

Service is Our Specialty

Located in Surrey, B.C. we ship across Canada and take pride in knowing we represent such a globally recognized brand like BendPak.

Engineering Excellence

BendPak has a staff of seven full-time engineers who do nothing but design, test and evaluate lift systems. BendPak lifts have changed and evolved over the past 40-years, not because they want to sell you on a new model every few years, but because they are constantly improving the structural integrity and design of their lifts to meet ever-changing world standards. On the surface, many lifts look "engineered", but what lies under the surface? All BendPak lift designs are computer modeled for function and structural integrity, undergo simulation of applied forces, axial force, bending moment, etc. using Solid Works Cosmos and other FEA programs. After the design is sound, they proceed with actual destructive (physical) testing.

There is only one real national lift standard for quality and safety - OSHA endorsed ANSI/ALI ALCT-2006. If you don't see any reference to this standard, then ask yourself if saving a few extra bucks on a non-certified lift is really worth jeopardizing the safety of you, your loved ones and your valuable equipment. BendPak gives you value, but more important, peace of mind.

ETL Certified

The only reason a lift is not ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2006 certification is if it does not pass the standard. This could be due to a number of factors including a lack of a slack-cable lock system, a substantiated engineering report from an accredited PE (professional engineer) verifying that all components could withstand a load of 150% capacity with no permanent yield or deformation of any kind, their absence of an ample cable guard to prevent unintentional displacement, and more. Do not take the risk. These certifications exist for a reason.
