BendPak HD Series Car Lifts Comparison

If you spend lots of time working on, servicing, and maintaining cars, trucks, or other vehicles, then you need the best car lift available. Bendpak has car lifts options to suit all of your needs. Investing in the right 4 post car lift can make your work quicker, more efficient, and safer than ever. Here, we’re comparing a couple of the BendPak™ HD Series 4-post lifts, the best overall and the best value, based on their carrying capacity, heights, width, and length to help you decide which lift would function best for your work.

Best Overall - BendPak™ HDS-35
We think the BendPak™ HDS-35 lift would be a terrific addition to any dedicated auto shop. A four-post lift offers multiple levels of support for vehicle lifting, and a heavy carrying capacity is a must if you service larger vehicles. With a 35,000 lbs. lift capacity, the HDS-35 is strong enough to support large commercial vehicles, including many brands of semi-truck. It even comes in multiple colors! While this option is a bit pricier, coming in at nearly $20,000, we believe it’s worth the investment because of that larger vehicle weight limit. When it comes to four-post lifts, this is a great piece of equipment.

Pros

• Can support a wide array of commercial and non-commercial vehicles
• Several colors to choose from
• More support than the average four-post lift

Cons

• Huge price choice
• Would see better use in a dedicated auto shop business

Best Value - BendPak™ HDS-14
If price is important to you, we think you’ll find the BendPak™ HDS-14 of great value. The 14,000 lbs. carrying capacity opens a wide variety of work options for a comparatively lower price than the HDS-35 of around $7,500. However, this option only accommodates standard-length vehicles, and those that would prefer to work on larger vehicles would have to spend more for taller or longer variants of this model. However, if you are not planning to work on a lot of massive vehicles, this is a great budget-conscious choice.

Pros

• Good price for the weight capacity
• An industry standard that would see efficient use in most auto shops
• Great for standard length vehicles

Cons

• Other, more expensive versions of this model exist to address length, height, and weight shortcomings
• Lack of style diversity when compared to the tall variant of this model
