Thanks for the feedback! That be more crucial on the 2 post lifts...technically the 4 post lift doesn't have to be anchored. I had our floor poured at 6" plus at 4000psi, along with fiber and rebar. Considering that and the aforementioned, I was okay with the placement.
I’m building a 34x60 shop with 14 ft walls and 12x12 doors. Designing it to accommodate a 4 post and a 2 post, tandemly. I appreciate your video. I might get this model or another BendPak 9k. I need the runways to accommodate. F150, f250, BMW sedans and a corvette. I might run into some tread width issues to accommodate all that. Thank you for your video. Please update us with issues. I also own a Takeuchi compact track loader, I see you own one!
Thanks for the comment! So far so good. You shouldn't have issues with the runways. In the widest position, it accommodates the SRW super duty's. There is also another setting where you can narrow the width (if needed for the BMW), which only requires removal of a couple bolts to change.
Thank you for the time to make this video. Question. I need a 4 post that will allow me to pull a super duty with a small lift underneath with a car stored above. I have 18’ ceilings in that bay of our garage.
I am not able to pull my super duty under this lift. The problem you may run into is a lift that will go high enough to pull your truck under will not have the lifting capacity to lift your truck...at least that's what I came across at the time I was looking at them
I'm installing the same lift I got used from a friend, the instructions says to extend the cylinder out all the way, but in doing so, my cable all have excessive slack and I'm trying to understand how the system works to take up the slack?
The cable adjustment comes from nut on top of each of the posts used to secure the cable. There's only 1 end of each cable that has adjustment capability.
I'd highly recommend! When we doing yours?! Initially was thinking of going the 2 post route...but decided on the 4 since I may be storing something in the future 🤔
Hey I'm thinking of buying this lift for my shop but it's a toss up between this one and a atlas garage pro 9000 which lift do you think is better and why thanks alot
I'm not an expert or well versed with the various brands. At a quick glance it looks like the Atlas may come with a few extra accessories that cost extra for the Bendpak. However, it looks like the pump on the Atlas is 110 vs the 220...I'm not sure if that's important to you or not... if you have the option to swap if you decided to order the Atlas. The reasons I went with the Bendpak were the specs checked all the boxes (able to lift my truck, adequate clearances, etc), and the Bendpak was also ALI certified... which is something I wanted.
I'm looking to purchase this lift here shortly and was wondering if your truck fits underneath the lift when its fully raised? I've got the same truck and looking at their specs it'd be very close to fitting underneath with it all the way up. Wanting to park the summer vehicle on the lift and park the truck underneath but looks like it may be too close for comfort! Thanks in advance.
@@theroyboys2any idea what the height is from floor to bottom of runway while resting on the top lock? I can’t tell if it’s 82” from bendpak’s specs or not.
@JP-ec8fe There is some adjustment to the ladder locks...I imagine it is 82" max. For example, I have 79" clearance to the bottom in the front, and 81" in the back. This is because the runways are leveled on the two inches of pitch I have in my garage. Hope that makes sense.
@@theroyboys2 mainly for maintenance but sometimes wouldn’t mind parking something under but I guess it’s a trust thing I know I see a lot of people park under 2 post lifts.
@@4liter did you figure out if yours fits? I’m looking at this same lift to put my Shelby on with my leveled 2017 f150 under it. It’s 76” as well. I think k these specs show 81-82” under the runways?
Bendpack has caster kits for them in the event you wanted to move it. However, it was not something I felt comfortable with...I preferred to have it secured to the floor
Glad you had a good experience with the post sales customer service!
Thanks for sharing the video. I'm shopping and so I really appreciate hearing about the lift itself as well as seeing the install.
Good luck with your future purchase!
Awesome song to go with the fast forward time lapse video... Good stuff! 👍
Thank you!
I was just on BendPak's website. They said not to mount over expansion seams or cracks in the concrete! Just say'n.

Thanks for the review. I just ordered one. Question; what kind of finish do you have on the floor? Do you like it?
It's a commercial sealer that the flatwork concrete guy recommended...I dont remember the name. It's held up pretty decent.
You SOB got a lift, so jealous!!!

@@theroyboys2 I don't have all that height in my garage tho unfortunately.
@@baldptdude in that case a 2 post might be the way to go since storage isnt an option. Many of the lifts can be used with 10' ceilings.
What kinda of power source does it need? My garage only have common household 20amp 110v receptacle. Will it be able to handle this?
I believe BendPak has a 110 option, but you would have to confirm with their customer service.
@@theroyboys2 Thank you!
Do you think a f350 crew cab with an 8ft bed fit or is your truck pretty much maxed out lengthwise?
I think mine pretty much maxed it out lengthwise.

My truck will not fit underneath...it misses by a few inches. We had to shuffle our parking spots around, so now the SUV parks under it.
@@theroyboys2 Thanks for the insight. Math doesn't lie I suppose 😅.
@@fishermanshane4865 I hear you...I wanted it to work, but had to go with option two consisting of shuffling parking spaces.

Do the jack plates reach the lifting points of the truck or really are they only good for cars.
Honestly, I haven't attempted to jack my truck up on the lift yet... but off memory, I don't think you could hit both sides of the frame...
@@theroyboys2 ok thanks was wanting to go 2 post lift route but if those worked considered this route
@KoleDevR if you don't need it for the storage and are just using for maintenance... two post is probably the way to go
@@theroyboys2 mainly for maintenance but sometimes wouldn’t mind parking something under but I guess it’s a trust thing I know I see a lot of people park under 2 post lifts.
Does the truck fit UNDER this lift? Looking at an option to put my raptor under one of these w a corvette on the lift
My F350 does not fit under it...I'm not sure the height of your Raptor. It's pretty true to the specs they post online
@@theroyboys2 awesome thx, I think my height is 75-76”

how tall is ceiling. i will build 12 or 13 foot. just one pickup
Mine are cathedral...14 feet to the peak 11' to the top of wall
does this needs to be bolted to the floor?
Bendpack has caster kits for them in the event you wanted to move it. However, it was not something I felt comfortable with...I preferred to have it secured to the floor
Also are you in canada ? Thanks
I'm in the US.
Can someone tell me the voltage and amperage needed to connect this four post lift
It depends on what option pump you chose. Mine is set up for 220 on a 30amp outlet.
How thick is your garage floor?
It's six inches with a 4000 PSI mix.
@@theroyboys2 thanks for the reply. I’m planning out a 40’x60’ shop/garage right now and will be putting in a lift.
@@pjfan173 6" with 4 to 5000 PSI is prob the ticket.
@@theroyboys2 thanks
How much including installment
$5800 for lift, all accessories and tax. Lift was a little over 5k itself. I installed.
