BendPak HDS40FL 4-Post Lifts

BendPak HDS40FL 4-post lifts are purpose-built for forklifts, delivering true drive-on efficiency, rock-solid stability, and wide-open undercar access for faster, safer maintenance. Ditch the wood blocks. Drive on, set chocks, and raise the forklift on a stable 40,000-lbs four-post lift platform!

HDS40FL 4-post lift details:

* Built specifically for forklifts: Forklifts are compact, low to the ground, and carry concentrated loads at the axles and mast. Passenger-car lifts and floor jacks are not ideal for that. The HDS40FL 4-post lift uses a wide, rigid runway platform that supports the whole truck the way your team actually services it. Operators drive on at a low 9.75 in. runway height, set chocks, raise to a lock, and get to work.
* Drive-on efficiency: This is a single-approach design. You drive on, service, then back down the same ramp. Spotting is straightforward with 133.75 in. between columns and 109 in. of drive-in clearance. The 197.5 in. runway length fits common electric and IC forklifts without crowding the ends.
* Access where forklift techs actually work: With the truck resting on the runways, your team gets clear access to steer and drive axles, brakes, hubs, belly pans, cooling packs, hydraulic lines, and battery compartments. Add rolling bridge jacks to lift a single axle for wheel-off work. Mast chain inspection and lubrication are easier at a comfortable working height.
* Ergonomic heights that speed repeat jobs: Pick the working height that fits the task and the tech. Thirteen positive mechanical locks are spaced in 4 in. steps from a lowest lock of 20 in. up to a top lock of 67.25 in. Total rise is 69.75 in. That range covers seated, standing, and overhead work without awkward body positions.
* Stable by design: Four posts and heavy cross-tubes create a rigid structure. Mechanical locks hold the platform at height so it will not drift while a technician is under it. The result is a steady, predictable work surface that keeps tall masts and off-center loads under control.
* Built for daily use: Warehouses, plants, ports, and rental yards are demanding environments. The HDS40FL forklift 4-post lift is built for high-cycle operation with straightforward controls and durable components that are easy to service. Plan the bay with confidence. Overall length with ramps is 253.75 in., so you can maintain forklift lanes and staging areas around the lift.
* Why it pays off: Time spent building makeshift support or chasing pick points is downtime. The HDS40FL turns forklift maintenance into a simple, repeatable drive-on routine. Faster setup, safer work, and better throughput on every shift.
