Heavy-Capacity Short-Rise Power for Busy Bays
The BendPak 12AP-SRT is a short-rise two-post lift built for shops that need heavier lifting capability without always needing full standing-height undercar access. With a 12,000-lb. capacity and a compact floorplate design, it is a strong fit for tire service, wheel work, detailing, inspections, brakes, suspension access, and other service tasks where speed, support, and space efficiency matter.
This lift is especially useful for professional shops and serious garages that work on heavier vehicles but still want a short-rise platform. It keeps the lift focused on practical service height, helping technicians move quickly around vehicles without dedicating the ceiling height or footprint required by a traditional full-rise two-post lift.
Floorplate Layout with Wide and Narrow Installation Options
The 12AP-SRT uses a floorplate design that routes and protects key lines between the posts while helping keep the work area organized. Its compact short-rise layout makes it easier to fit into low-ceiling shops, personal garages, and quick-service areas where full-height columns are not the right answer.
The lift also offers wide and narrow installation options in a customizable package, giving shop owners more flexibility when planning bay layouts. That matters when you are trying to add lifting capacity to an existing service floor instead of designing the entire building around one piece of equipment.
Bi-Metric Arms and Triple-Telescoping Reach
The 12AP-SRT uses BendPak’s Bi-Metric arm system to support both symmetric and asymmetric spotting needs. This gives technicians more freedom to balance vehicle position, door clearance, and access depending on the job. Triple-telescoping arms retract shorter and extend farther, helping reach a wider range of lift points on modern vehicles.
Drop-end arms create a lower pad height for easier placement under low-profile vehicles, while included cradle adapters support body-on-frame trucks and SUVs. The AP Series arm package is designed to reduce setup compromise, making the 12AP-SRT more adaptable than a basic short-rise lift.
AP Series Safety Systems for Heavier Short-Rise Work
The 12AP-SRT includes BendPak’s patented automatic safety lock system and single-point release mechanism for controlled lifting and lowering. The Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System uses forged-steel construction and 360-degree grip to help keep arms locked firmly in place under real service loads.
Dual hydraulic direct-drive cylinders, heavy-duty equalizer cables, self-lubricating Dura-Glide UHMW bearings, electric-hydraulic power, and safety locks in each column give the 12AP-SRT the strength and control needed for high-volume shop use. For heavier tire and wheel service, it brings short-rise convenience without acting lightweight.
