APEX AL9LC Two Post Car Lift – 9,000-Lb Capacity – Floorplate

Professional Two-Post Lifting for Low-Ceiling Spaces

The APEX AL9LC is designed to deliver professional two-post lifting performance in garages and shops where overhead clearance is limited. Its floorplate design eliminates the restrictive top crossbar found on many two-post lifts, keeping the workspace open while maintaining full lifting capability.

With a 9,000-lb lifting capacity, the AL9LC is built to handle everything from low-slung sports cars to full-size pickups, making it an ideal solution for small shops, performance garages, and serious home mechanics who want real capability without compromising space.

Flexible Arm Geometry for Faster, Easier Vehicle Positioning

Proper vehicle positioning is critical for safe lifting, and the AL9LC is engineered to make setup fast and predictable. Dual symmetric and asymmetric arm configurations allow technicians to position the arms exactly where they are needed based on vehicle size and weight distribution.

Triple-telescoping front arms and dual-stage extended rear arms provide exceptional reach, making it easy to lift a wide variety of wheelbases. Double-telescoping screw pads and a 4-piece 63 mm stackable adapter set ensure secure, stable contact across different frame designs.

Built for Safety and Stability

Safety is built into every stage of operation on the AL9LC. Automatic safety locks engage every three inches throughout the lifting range, providing consistent, rock-solid load holding at working height.

Automatic arm restraints secure the lift arms in place when the vehicle is raised, preventing unintended movement during service and improving technician confidence.

Heavy-Duty Construction for Daily Use

The AL9LC is built to handle the demands of daily shop use with high-strength steel and reinforced components throughout. A heavy-duty 6” x 6” tubular steel carriage delivers excellent load-bearing strength, while oversized 20.5” x 15.5” base plates ensure even weight distribution and outstanding stability.

An electric-hydraulic power system provides smooth, quiet, and efficient lifting operation, making the AL9LC comfortable to use throughout long workdays.

Low-Maintenance Chain-Over Lifting System

The AL9LC uses a proven chain-over lifting design with an industrial-grade, high-strength leaf chain manufactured to ANSI standards. This chain is engineered to withstand heavy loads and repeated lifting cycles without stretching or premature wear.

Oversized heavy-duty rollers with Zerk grease fittings and self-lubricating UHMW polyethylene guide blocks reduce friction and wear, helping maintain smooth, consistent operation with minimal maintenance.

From GrandPrix to APEX: Proven Design, Clearer Brand Alignment

The APEX AL9LC was previously sold under the GrandPrix brand and has transitioned into the APEX lineup as part of BendPak’s effort to simplify and strengthen its product families.

This change represents a branding update, not a redesign. The AL9LC retains the same floorplate architecture, chain-over lifting system, structural components, and safety features that made it a trusted lift for professional and enthusiast use.

By moving this model under the APEX name, BendPak has aligned it with a broader lineup focused on delivering professional-grade capability at a smart value, supported by U.S.-based customer service and industry-leading warranty and support.

Designed as a Long-Term Investment

Backed by BendPak’s industry-leading 36-month warranty and nationwide support network, the APEX AL9LC is built to be a dependable, long-term investment in shop efficiency, safety, and productivity.
