Before any of the lifting numbers, there is one design decision worth knowing about: BendPak states that the PLC and the main system components in these columns are standard off-the-shelf brands rather than proprietary printed circuit boards or controls. On a six-column set that is not a footnote. A proprietary controller failure can idle every column you own and leave you waiting on a single supplier; a commodity part is something an industrial electrician can source locally.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach column is rated at 18,000 lbs; operated as a team of six, the system is rated to 108,000 lbs. There is no pit, no bolted superstructure and no dedicated bay — the columns roll to the vehicle, clamp the wheels, and roll back out of the way afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWill it fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eMobile columns free you from a fixed bay, but they still have to move through your building and stand on a floor that can carry them. Each column measures 45\" (1,143 mm) across and 48.75\" (1,238 mm) deep, with a chassis length of 32.25\" (819 mm) and a turning circle of 40\" (1,016 mm) — the figure that decides whether a column can be walked around a parked vehicle. Each weighs 1,450 lbs (657 kg), so a set of six is a serious point load on the floor and on any doorway or ramp along the route.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaximum lifting height is 71.5\" (1,889 mm) at the fork. The forks themselves adjust from 9.5\" (241 mm) to 35\" (889 mm) wide with a fork length of 11.5\" (292 mm), which is what lets one set cover passenger-vehicle wheels and deep commercial duals without buying separate adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower — confirm this before you order.\u003c\/strong\u003e This listing is the low-voltage configuration and its title specifies 208-230\/190V. BendPak's own published feature list for the PCL-18B family states a 208-240V, 3-phase main power system, with optional voltages available on request. Those two statements do not describe the same supply, and both are published. Have your electrician confirm the incoming service, and \u003cstrong\u003econfirm the required voltage with us in writing before you place the order\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheck the overall height before you plan the clearance.\u003c\/strong\u003e BendPak's specification sheet for this column carries two overall heights, 101\" (2,565 mm) and 146.5\" (3,721 mm), and labels them raised and lowered in that order. A lowered column cannot stand taller than a raised one, so both figures are carried here as published, with the labels left as they are. \u003cstrong\u003eIf ceiling or doorway clearance is tight in your building, ask us to confirm the governing figure in writing before you order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFloor condition, ceiling clearance, doorway access and the electrical supply are the buyer's responsibility to verify. BendPak's installation and operation manual, linked in the downloads on this page, is the governing document for siting and commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eElectronics you can actually get parts for\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe off-the-shelf choice runs through the whole control package. Each column carries its own key-lock enclosure, emergency shut-off, warning light and audible alarm, and the electronics are multi-fuse protected. The system runs self-diagnostics and self-calibration rather than needing a technician to trim it by hand, and control circuitry is 24-volt, keeping the operator-facing side at a low potential.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eKeeping six columns level\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eSix columns lifting one chassis have to agree with each other continuously. Position feedback comes from sealed and enclosed linear potentiometers, chosen for precision output and high-frequency response so every column reports where it is throughout the cycle rather than at the ends of it. Columns can be run SINGLE, in a PAIR, or as a TEAM, and the whole set can be programmed and driven from any column in the group — you do not have to walk back to a master station to make a change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVariable height limits can be programmed for a low ceiling or for a job that must stop at a set working height, and lowering has two speeds — BendPak calls them turtle and rabbit. Slow is what you want under a loaded chassis; fast is what you want at the end of a shift.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eMoving them, and what happens when the power does not come back\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe steering wheels are pallet-jack style, so a column settles firmly onto the floor under its own weight; constantly loaded spring-type wheels leave a column free to roll when it is not carrying a vehicle, which is exactly when nobody is watching it. Power units and cylinders sit low in the chassis, giving a lower centre of gravity than a screw-drive column with a heavy overhead motor. Tandem 8\" polyurethane-covered steel wheels on sealed roller bearings cope with debris, and forklift pockets let the columns move between buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFailure behaviour is the other half. Inverted hydraulic cylinders carry an integrated safety valve to stop an uncontrolled descent if oil pressure is lost, multiple automatic independent safety locks are spaced every four inches through the rise, and each column has a manual safety override valve so the vehicle can be brought down in a power cut without hand cranks.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeavy-truck and tractor-trailer service shops working three-axle vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMunicipal, transit and refuse fleet garages\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTruck dealerships that need lifting capacity in more than one bay\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOperations that lift in a yard or a leased building and cannot install fixed lifts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eSix PCL-18B columns, each with multi-width wheel forks and locking pins, its own key-lock control enclosure, its own emergency shut-off and its own manual safety override valve, plus the interconnecting cabling that ties the set to a single point of control. BendPak notes that a standard four-column set uses just three 30' cables, which is what keeps the front or the back of the vehicle clear of cable runs. The multi-width forks are stated to remove the need for specialty wheel adapters. Cross beams, jack stands and any other accessory are separate purchases — ask us before you assume something is included.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCapacity per column\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e18,000 lbs (8,165 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSystem capacity, six columns\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e108,000 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMax. lifting height\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e71.5\" (1,889 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOverall width\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e45\" (1,143 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOverall depth\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e48.75\" (1,238 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eChassis length\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e32.25\" (819 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFork width\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e9.5\" (241 mm) min. to 35\" (889 mm) max.\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFork length\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e11.5\" (292 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTurning circle\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e40\" (1,016 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eColumn weight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1,450 lbs (657 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLifting speed\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e85 seconds\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eControl circuit\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e24-volt\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSee the power note above — this listing and BendPak's feature list state different supplies\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eShipping weight per column\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1,450 lbs (657 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eShipping dimensions per column\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e106\" x 55\" x 41\" (2,696 mm x 1,397 mm x 1,041 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eCertification, stated plainly\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eBendPak's published feature list for this system says it meets or exceeds the standards prescribed by ANSI\/ALI ALCTV-2011, the North American standard for automotive lift construction, testing and validation. Read that for exactly what it is: a manufacturer's statement of conformance to a standard. It is not the same document as a current third-party listing for this specific model, and an insurer, a fleet safety policy or a local inspector may want the listing rather than the conformance statement.

We have deliberately not restated a period or a coverage term, because that document is the only place they are stated. One warning that applies to any hydraulic lift: do not disassemble a column, a cylinder or a power unit before a claim has been opened — a unit taken apart is very often a claim declined.
