BendPak 6,000-lb. Capacity Open Center Mid-Rise Scissors Lift MDS-6LP

The MDS-6 Series Revolution

BendPak MDS-6LP Open Center Mid-Rise Lift with 6,000-lb. Capacity

This open-center mid-rise lift is a mechanical marvel. Decades of experience have taught us a thing or two about designing equipment to safely connect to virtually any vehicle's OEM lift points. A car lift with longer platforms means you get to lift more vehicle types than ever. Some well-meaning shops risk the personal safety and well-being of the vehicles they work on because their lifts don't full reach those OEM jack points. BendPak's redesigned MDS-6LP 6,000-lb. capacity scissor lift corrects that problem once and for all with longer platforms. Its extended lift point spread means vehicles with long wheelbases can be safely raised in seconds flat.

Converting your low-rise lift to a flush-mount design is now easier than ever. Our design lets the ramps attach directly to the platform. This makes it easy to work on elevated vehicles, especially in the wheel well area. The approach ramps have slotted receivers and simply drop into place. They are easily removed by pulling upward for rapid disconnect from the frames.

The MDS-6LP mid-rise lift has a pivoting "kicker" mechanism that helps lift low ground-clearance vehicles. Unfortunately, some scissor have poor mechanical advantage when fully lowered. They have no lifting force until the frames rise a few inches. Our kicker is like having booster rockets for the first six inches of upward movement.

Your low-rise lift is no wimp. Four super-powerful hydraulic cylinders with a proprietary flow divider ensure the separate platforms remain level and efficient at all times. It takes mere seconds to get to the max rise. This lift also features the best electric-hydraulic technology the industry has to offer.

As the platforms rise, locks automatically engage at several heights. This safety feature ensures two things: more versatile positions to work from and increased safety as the platforms rise. For your safety, hydraulics are not engaged when the safety arms rest on the mechanical locks. Once the lift moves, hydraulic pressure resumes.

Air cylinders replace spring releases on the MDS-6LP mid-rise lift. They make sure the locks release at the same time as the lift descends. Each cylinder need to be pressurized with a 50 PSI, 10-CFM air source at the time of installation. Any air compressor or hand pump will do the trick.

Releasing the mechanical lock system is as easy as pressing a button. The locks deactivate instantly and the lift lowers completely in seconds flat. You've never seen a more convenient or easy-to-use lock release system.

Zerk grease fittings are self-lubricating and long-lasting. They require minimal maintenance to ensure your car lift lasts for years without trouble. Spend your days working without the squeal of metal-on-metal. The MDS-6LP mid-rise lift practically maintains itself with these rugged fittings doing the work for you.

BendPak rubber blocks are tough, hard and super-durable. Other companies offer little pads and small blocks that shred after heavy use. Not ours. They'll last for years without issues. If you ever need replacements or want to order an extra set, give us a call! We'll help get them shipped right to your door.

The MDS-6LP and MDS-6LPF reach a comfortable 44.5" of rise with the lift blocks in place. More lock positions in a mid-rise lift makes it easier to manage your work. If you just need to get the wheels a few inches off the ground, use one of the lower settings. If you want to scoot under more comfortably, raise the lift to the top lock position. With BendPak, the choice is yours!

Safety decals, the owner's manual, lift point spread information and a safety placard for training purposes are all included for your convenience. Learn everything you can about your car lift, and teach others everything you know. They'll be sure to pay it forward, maintain best safety practices and help keep your mid-rise lift working for years to come.

If you're looking to flush-mount your lift in the floor for a smooth sub-surface installation, be sure to choose the MDS-6LPF flush-mount mid-rise lift. It features all the same features of the MDS-6LP but is more ideal if you want your lift to collapse perfectly parallel with your flooring.NOTE: The lift platform and contact blocks allow lifting of most unibody and frame contact undercarriages at recommended manufacturer pick-up points on most vehicles. Be sure to compare your vehicle specifications, including ground clearance and overall height, with the specifications shown before you purchase.
