AGOURA HILLS, Calif., July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- APEX™ by BendPak introduces the AL9LC two-post floorplate car lift engineered for shops and home garages looking for professional lifting capability in low-ceiling environments.
The AL9LC’s floorplate design maximizes overhead clearance by eliminating the top crossbar found on many two-post lifts, making it a good choice for low-ceiling bays and for working on taller vehicles without interference.
Professional Two-Post Lift Features
The APEX AL9LC delivers the features master technicians and home mechanics need to efficiently service a wide range of vehicles:
- 9,000 lbs. capacity – Handles low-slung sports cars to full-size pickups.
- Flexible arm positioning – Lift symmetrically or asymmetrically.
- Triple-telescoping front arms, dual-stage rear arms – Access a wide range of vehicle lifting points.
- Automatic safety locks – Engage every three inches for security.
- Automatic arm restraints – Keep swing arms in place for peace of mind.
- Double-telescoping screw pads and stackable adapters – Ensure secure, stable contact.
“Low ceilings and limited budgets don’t have to dictate a shop’s potential,” says Tyler Rex, BendPak senior director of marketing. “The APEX AL9LC brings premium, uncompromised power to compact workspaces at a price point that makes sense.”
Heavy-Duty and Low-Maintenance
Constructed with high-strength steel and reinforced components, the APEX AL9LC is built to withstand the demands of daily shop use. A heavy-duty 6-inch by 6-inch tubular steel carriage delivers superior load-bearing support, while oversized base plates ensure even weight distribution and stability.
The AL9LC features a proven chain-over design with an industrial-grade leaf chain engineered to endure heavy loads and repeated lifting cycles without stretching or premature wear. Oversized heavy-duty rollers with Zerk grease fittings, along with self-lubricating UHMW polyethylene guide blocks, reduce friction and wear while helping maintain smooth, consistent operation with minimal maintenance.
Like all APEX by BendPak car lifts, the AL9LC is backed by a three-year warranty and a nationwide support network.
