You’re now looking at the largest-capacity alignment lift we make. When you need to align truck wheels, BendPak’s free-floating slip plates and galvanized steel turn plates make the job easy to get done right the first time.

A Four-Post Truck Lift for Every Alignment Application

BendPak’s largest-capacity alignment lift easily accommodates vehicles up to 18,000 lbs. Of course, it still services smaller sports cars and race cars without a problem. If your shop is busy and can’t afford the space for multiple lifts, you’ll need the extra lifting power to be ready for those lager trucks and SUVs. The HDS-18EA offers the same safety features and rugged design as every other car lift we make, from the aircraft-quality steel cables and enhanced cable sheaves to the adjustable locking heights and slack-cable secondary lock system. You’ll also enjoy the best warranty money can buy, which makes this auto lift the very best value of any alignment lift, anywhere. Full stop.

Slip plates
Our rear-seated, free-floating slip plates let you perform wheel alignments on heavy trucks while keeping vehicle suspensions relaxed, securely fitted on the slip plates. This is the best way to perform wheel alignments because it eliminates potential flex and loss of pressure in rear tire walls as a result of old-fashioned alignments that require individual wheel jacking.

Turn plate
BendPak’s galvanized and corrosion-resistant front-alignment turn plates feature dual recessed turn plate pockets that position your turn plates to help position your vehicle with very little effort: your equipment installations (i.e. 3D alignment pads) can be managed breezily.

Dual-hub cable sheaves
BendPak’s cable sheaves are world-class and over-engineered to function for years as though they were brand new. Simply picking up and holding one of these sheaves is convincing enough to see they’re not going to wear out any time soon. Not simply molded chunks of steel to route the cables, they’re heavy, massive and virtually immoveable when installed within the structure. We call our 12" diameter cable sheaves “supersized” for a reason. They’re located with within the runway along with equally impressive 4" diameter sheave axles.

Heavy-duty aircraft cable
1/2” diameter, 6 x 25 aircraft-quality stainless-steel lifting cables do their part to make our alignment lifts some of the most robust lifts ever constructed. These cables hoist your lift in the air in just seconds. They’re internally routed, but you can still see the runway through the open side of each column. This lets you see for yourself that BendPak cables remain lubricated during each use and rarely, if ever, show signs of wear.

Adjustable height locking positions
The ability to choose your own working height is essential. BendPak offers multiple locking levels on every car lift we make in order to keep you as comfortable as possible.

Built-in lubrication
Grease nipples lubricate the cable sheaves, keeping all cables and runways operating smoothly. You’ll rarely need to lubricate the grease fittings. We just ask that you perform periodic maintenance as indicated in your owner’s manual. We promise it isn’t much.

Flow restrictor
A lift that utilizes hydraulic systems needs a flow divider to keep the lift platforms rising evenly. Flow dividers also ensure your lift lowers slowly in the unlikely event of a hydraulic failure. This safety feature is non-negotiable for us, so we manufacture it into every alignment lift we make.

Spring-loaded safety locks
Springs engage at the locking points of each column and accommodate for slight slopes in your garage.
