Response
BendPak has a staff of seven
full-time engineers who do nothing
but design, test, and evaluate lift
systems.
BendPak lifts have changed and
evolved over the past 40-years not
because they like making changes but
because they are constantly
improving the structural integrity
and design of their lifts to meet
constantly
changing world standards. On the
surface, many lifts look
“engineered”, but what lies under
the surface? All
BendPak lift designs are computer
modeled for design function and
structural integrity then undergo
simulation of applied forces, axial
force, bending moment, etc. using
Solid Works Cosmos and other FEA
programs. After the design is sound,
they proceed with actual destructive
(physical) testing.
There is
only one real national lift standard
for quality and safety - OSHA
endorsed ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2006. If you
don’t see any reference to this
standard, then ask yourself if
saving a few extra bucks on a
non-certified lift is
really worth jeopardizing the safety
of you and your loved ones. BendPak
gives you value, but more important,
a peace of mind. Combine that with
their worldwide distribution, sales
and service coverage, means you can
count on BendPak to deliver their
promise of total customer
satisfaction. |

Statement
“Don't

Economy platform lifts, which are

severely cut corners in the areas of
quality, design, performance and
safety.” |
Response
Why
are BYB lifts not approved to meet
the requirements of ANSI/ALI
ALCTV-2006? - Quite simply, because
their lifts could not pass the
standard. Particularly their lack of
a slack-cable lock system, a
substantiated
engineering report from an
accredited PE (professional
engineer) verifying that all
components could
withstand a load of 300% capacity
with no permanent yield or
deformation of any kind, their
absence of an
ample cable guard to prevent
unintentional displacement, and
more. |

Common
Misleading Claims:
- Claims that state "Meets or
Exceeds Standard ANSI/ALI
B-153.1" are meaningless. This
standard no longer exists.
- Claims that state "Meets all
ANSI Standards" are meaningless.
No other standards apply to lift
construction
except ANSI/ALI ALCTV. In order
to meet ANSI/ALI ALCTV,
Certification is required. Look
for the Mark.
- Claims that state "Meets all
OSHA Requirements” are
meaningless. OSHA has no
requirements governing
automotive lifts, but they do
write citations applying to
automotive lifts. They do this
under the General Duty
Clause and recommend to those
cited that it would be prudent
for the cited party to follow
the directives in
the various standards developed
by ALI.
Any
claim that implies "This lift is ALA
Certified" is worthless. ALA
(Automotive Lift Association) is
reported to
be an organization of suspect lift
suppliers with no endorsement by
ANSI or OSHA. ALA appears to be
purely
fictitious and created merely to
confuse purchasers, users and
inspectors.
Any
claim that implies "This lift is
MAMTC Certified" is worthless. MAMTC
(Mid-America Manufacturing
Technology Center) is a unit of
Wichita State University which, in
one instance, attempted to certify a
lift
model. Test Reports on MAMTC
letterhead stated that a particular
lift complied with ANSI B153.1 ‒
1990. Of
course this is meaningless because
MAMTC is not a NRTL (Nationally
Recognized Test Facility), and the
standard cited is obsolete.
The
proliferation of Asian products in
this country is making it difficult
to remain competitive, but remaining
competitive should not be a
trade-off to remaining safe. Even
some Asian brands look OK but
judging a lift
solely on cosmetic appearance can be
perilous. Mechanical properties of
steels vary considerably and
although a lift component may “look
like steel”, what kind of steel is
it? GB/T 699 15Mn steel - 59,000
lbs.
tensile / GB/T 700 Q235A steel -
54,000 lbs. tensile / IS 10748 Grade
1 steel - 24,650 lbs. tensile / A512
Grade
1018 steel - 68,005 lbs. tensile /
A311 Grade 1035 steel - 85,550 lbs.
tensile. Standards for steel vary
country to
country and choosing the wrong one
for a lifting application is risky.
Are these other manufacturers simply
copying lifts and choosing available
“steel” that best suits their supply
needs or choosing the correct steel
for
the load path application?

Response
With
respect to a side-by-side product
comparison of BYB to BendPak, this

meaningless. BendPak does not fit
the bill of “the typical imported

 |
Statement
“Other
lifts are made from lighter gauge
metal with channels that are cold
formed creates weak points at the
bends.” |
Response
Again, more propaganda - cold-formed
steel is widely used in buildings,
automobiles, equipment, utility
poles,
storage racks, highway products, and
bridges.
ADVANTAGES OF COLD-FORMED STEEL -
Cold-formed steel products are
shaped at ambient temperatures
from steel sheet, plate or flat bars
by roll-forming machines, or press
brakes. They can be produced in
large
quantity and at high speed with
consistent quality. In addition,
cold-formed steel possesses many
advantages
over other construction materials:
(1) Cold-formed steel components
weigh approximately 35% less than
other counterparts, but with equal
or better strength characteristics.
(2) As a result of the cold-forming
process, cold-formed steel possesses
one of the highest
strength-to-weight ratios of any
building material.
This high strength and stiffness
advantage means better design
flexibility, wider spans and better
material
usage. (3) Cold-formed steel does
not expand or contract with moisture
content. In addition, it does not
split
or warp as time goes by.
Formed Metal Building Construction
In pre-engineered metal
buildings, entire building
structures are made from steel
products, and
approximately 40-60% of the total
steel used is cold-formed steel.
Curious
question you should ask yourself —
the cost of press brakes, bending
brakes and roll-forming
machines to accommodate material
this size is very
costly — is that the reason many
smaller sized lift
companies choose alternative methods
of manufacturing? |
 |
Statement
“Other
lift suppliers need stamped holes in
foot to add stability to lift by
anchoring it to the floor. Backyard
Buddy requires no anchors.” |
Response
BendPak adds anchor holes to the
lift base plates because many buyers
choose to bolt their lifts to the
floor
and BendPak’s certification was
awarded WITHOUT BEING ANCHORED. BYB
implies that bolting the columns
to the floor offers no real
stability benefit which is absurd.
With BendPak four post lifts, you
have a choice -
secured or free-standing. During the
entire first half of the hit show
Monster Garage, at their original
set
location, with all the hammering and
banging going on, their BendPak lift
was never anchored to the floor.
(The lift needed to be mobile
because after the vehicles entered
the work area, the film crew had to
rotate the
lift 90-degrees to accommodate the
proper camera angle.)
 |
 |
Statement
“Other
lift suppliers use anti-spread bolts
at top to keep legs from opening
when weight is added to the lift.” |
Response
BendPak lifts do not incorporate an
“anti-spread” bolt and are not prone
to “opening” when loaded. |
 |
Statement
“BYB
columns are made from rugged,
structural 4X4 steel tubing.” |
Response

BendPak urges you to talk to a
qualified structural engineer and
ask if the loads being placed on the
columns
would be significant at all to
warrant excessive design(s). The
columns on all BendPak four-post
lifts were tested and certified at
27,000-pounds are designed with a
safety-factor that far exceeds 300%
of the rated load capacity required
to meet ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2006. |
 |
Statement
“Other
lift suppliers use plastic sliders
on the inside of the legs that wear
over time as they rub on metal
increasing the possibility of
failure.” |
Response
BYB
uses “plastic” sliders on their
cross tubes so why would they
discredit their use? The below photo
illustrates the BYB plastic sliders
which are external rather than
internal. Curious question ‒ would
you be
encouraged to grease the BYB columns
to keep the sliders free - and if
so, does that not make a mess on the
outside of the columns? Another
question - will the nice paint
finish on the BYB columns become
dull with
abrasion marks after use? |
|
BYB Nylon Slide
Blocks
|
BendPak also
uses UHMW slide blocks,
but internally as
opposed to externally.
|
 |
 |
|
The “plastic” for BendPak sliders is
not “plastic” but rather UHMW
(Ultra-High Molecular weight)
Polyethylene.
There is little if any load on the
slide blocks so they will not “wear
over time” like BYB suggests. UHMW
is often
referred to as the world’s toughest
polymer. UHMW is a linear high
density polyethylene which has high
abrasion resistance as well as high
impact strength. UHMW is also
chemical resistant and has a
lowcoefficient-
of-friction which makes it highly
effective in a variety of
applications. BendPak slide blocks
are
simply guides that keep the cross
tubes and safety ladder centered
within the column and minimize sway.
BendPak lifts feature cable sheaves
that are precisely centered within
the cross tube meaning the cross
tube
tends to stay level during the
entire lifting motion thereby
eliminating side loads of any kind.
BYB lifts employ
cross tube sheaves and axles that
are located outside the cross tube
body forcing the cross tubes to
twist or
rotate away from the sheave as the
lift raises. This twisting
occurrence tends to develop
side-loading on their
cross tube components and plastic
sliders. |
 |
Statement
“BYB
uses a closed steel leg surrounded
by an exterior steel support jacket
that ensures positive contact and
does not create an opportunity for
legs to fail under the weight of
your vehicle.” |
Response
There
is a reason that BYB is probably the
ONLY lift company in the world (out
of approximately 200 globally)
to use this design. That’s because
it makes a better brake than a lift
component. Think of an adjustable
welding clamp or other slide-lock
type device - they employ similar
design features. Columns that use
this
design feature are more apt to seize
should an unlevel situation occur.

I will only speak to the
two types / brands of 4-post
lift I am most familiar with
- the AutoLifters which a
friend of mine owned (AL now
out of business but being
produced by former AL
employees - same design as
the BYB) and the Bend Pak
HD-9 I currently own. I
spent many a weekend under
the AutoLifters (7K lb.
cap.) over a few years and
have owned my HD-9 (9K lb.
cap.) for a year now.
The AL uses the fully
boxed post section with
collar-style crossbeam ends
while the BP has a C-channel
post design with internal
runners that slide on ladder
locks suspended from the top
caps. There seems to be a
perception that the
C-channels can spread under
load, but that's not how
these lifts work. There is
virtually
no side load on the posts
and certainly nothing to
splay the channels apart
during raising or lowering.
Basically, they are cable
and pulley systems with
crossbeam and column
supports to manage the
transmitted loads.
What's important is that the
members remain stationary
(rigid) and no one corner
binds - or lets loose -
during the lifting or
lowering process,
destabilizing the
equilibrium enough to allow
one of the posts to tip too
far.
The posts can actually
tilt in/out a certain amount
without destabilizing the
lift and toppling it. I've
seen this happen twice in
person - once on the AL lift
when one of the manual
lever-actuated locks didn't
engage while lowering and
the other the first time I
actuated my BP and one of
the cables was still too
loose. Both times, the tilt
in the post was completely
recoverable because the lift
was not allowed to travel
beyond one lock level.
Remember that the entire
mechanism is tied together
with a tensioned cable
system and tends to want to
stay tied together rather
than spread out.
I have noticed that
neither design has more
tendency for the corner
attachments to decouple from
the post or allow post tilt.
Both designs are quite
secure. What I have noted
are the differences in lock
designs which is the reason
I went with my BP. The BP
has a double lock system -
the first is a
pneumatically-actuated,
"normally-closed" set of
ladder locks. These are the
primaries and the only way
for these to allow the lift
to lower is to keep one's
hand on the release button
and hydraulic release
continuously and
simultaneously until the
lost lock is passed. The
secondary, "slack-cable" set
of locks are purely for
safety. Should a cable break
or go slack for any reason,
that corner lock will
release and automatically
lock into the next detent,
not allowing that corner
to drop uncontrolled. This
was the failure suffered
recently by an AL lift with
pictures posted here.

I'll qualify that link by
saying that could have been
prevented with proper
maintenance and replacement
of a faulty pulley setup
that the manufacturer warned
of. But it does illustrate
that, ultimately, it's up to
the owner/operator to safely
install, maintain and
operate his lift. Also, high
quality components and
construction are vital when
weighing the issues of cost
and safety. My Bend Pak is
made in America with solid
engineering backed by
decades of commercial lift
design and construction,
high-strength, highquality
components and great
workmanship, including
beautiful welds. The cost
was comparable to the
competitors too.
I spent a lot of time
researching lifts before
ordering mine and I still
believe I'd make the same
choice today that I did when
I chose the BP. Others have
their own thoughts and
opinions - and requirements.
My decision was between the
All American, the Revolution
(Rotary), the Backyard Buddy
and Bend Pak. Cost was not
the primary factor, safety
was. Check all the
certification and testing
that a manufacturer does on
its lifts - that alone is a
very educational process.
Whatever your choice is,
have a healthy respect for
the potentially dangerous
piece of heavy equipment
that a lift is. Safety
should be foremost on your
mind always when working
around a lift. That behavior
alone should keep it a safe
and fun piece of equipment
to own. |

“BYB
uses a closed steel leg surrounded
by an exterior steel support jacket
that has no chance for leg to spread
open.” |
Response
Loads
are insufficient enough to cause any
spreading so continuing to highlight
this feature is solely propaganda.
However, because of their external
tube sliders, BYB can’t mount their
95-pound power unit securely to a
column - instead it is mounted on a
wobbly motor stand that is
positioned uncomfortably low (they
make the pole stand short to
minimize flex) causing operators to
slouch when reaching for the
controls.

Statement
“BYB
features all steel construction, no
plastic components provide a more
durable performance and a stronger
lift solution.” |
Response
BendPak has never, or ever intends
to use plastic components for any
suspension specific part. In regards
to
“more durable performance” the BYB
sheave design does not compare to
BendPak. The axles on BYB cross
tubes are supported only at one end
which means the loaded cable sheaves
are constantly trying to bend the
axle rod when loaded. If the axle
yields under load, even if slightly,
the axle will not remain
perpendicular with
the load path. This will cause
non-concentric movement of the
sheave causing premature wear of
parts and
cables. BendPak sheave axles are
supported at both ends so the axles
and sheaves remain exactly
perpendicular to the load path at
all times. |
 |
Statement
“Other
lift suppliers make their runways
from soft tread plate which is bent
to form the runway creating weak
points at the bends and no under
runway reinforcement means more
flexing of runway surface. BYB
runways are made from a
superstructure of angle iron toped
with tread plate. Welded flat stock
ties sides together under the runway
surface adding an additional level
of support and integrity to the
lift.” |
Response
There
is no such thing as “soft tread
plate” so this is purely propaganda.
The steel used on BendPak runways
far
exceeds 58,000-lb. yield which is
equal to or better than standard
“pig iron” diamond plate whose
purpose is
primarily for traction rather than
strength. BendPak runways were
tested and certified at
27,000-pounds and
are cold-formed steel. They also
feature under runway reinforcements
that create a box shape for
increased
strength and stiffness. Cold-formed
steel possesses one of the highest
strength-to-weight ratios of any
building material. BendPak lifts are
designed and tested to meet the only
REAL lift certification standard,
ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2006, with a safety
factor that exceeds 300% rated load
capacity - enough said. |
 |
Statement
“Other
lift suppliers provide no quick
disconnect. L shaped coupler with
Teflon tape means that hose can kink
and cause a blow-out. No flow
restrictor means that the lift will
instantly slam to the ground in the
event of a blow-out. Quick connect
means that hose will not kink and
can swivel. Installed flow
restrictor means that the lift will
maintain position even in the event
of a problem with the hose. don't
cut corners when it comes to your
safety and the protection of you
vehicle and property.” |
Response
All
of BendPak lift cylinders use
internal flow-restrictors to prevent
rapid fall in case of a hose or
fitting failure.
This is a worldwide safety standard
that is required for all commercial
lift manufacturers. International
lift
standards prohibit the use of
quick-disconnect fittings on vehicle
or personnel lift applications.
Quick
disconnect fittings have spring
loaded ball-in-seat components. If
the ball does not “seat” like you
expect it
due to contamination or faulty
ball-seat, there is nothing to shut
off the flow of oil and the
uncontrolled
descent of your lift. Hose
“blow-outs” simply do not occur
under normal use. As part of the
ANSI/ALI ALCTV-
2006 standard all BendPak hoses have
a 400% safety factor based on the
pressure required to operate the
lift
at its rated load capacity. |

Statement
“Other
lift suppliers use only a 3/4 inch
contact surface for locking
mechanism. Very unstable when you
combine this with the loose
construction which causes the lift

Response
This
does not apply to BendPak lifts as
their design is not at like BYB

lifts do
employ eight independent safety lock
devices, four primary and four
back-ups.

Response
BendPak commercial-grade pneumatic
safety lock system ensures that your
locks release simultaneously
every time. BYB lifts use linkage
rods to release the four spring
loaded locks ‒ that means a lot of
resistance to
overcome. That combined with the
accumulation of slop for all of the
linkage points means that the safety
lock furthest from the operator has
a good chance of not being “pulled
back” far enough. Think about what
would happen if three corners
descended and one stuck. The worst
cause of lift failures or vehicle
“drops” are
caused by the runways becoming
unlevel due to seized column or
stuck lock. Mechanical linkage
systems are
more prone to seizure and failure.

Huh —

Final
thoughts:
BYB
is a qualified and respected
supplier of lifts, but from a design
standpoint, their lift doesn’t even
come
close to a BendPak. Not one
component on their lift exceeds the
quality of a BendPak. If you review
all of the
BYB propaganda you will notice their
entire sales pitch circulates around
their column design. They purposely
make it that way so that they have
something “unique” to offer, that’s
It. It is only unique - it is not
safer, better,
stronger, or more stable.
There's a reason they spend 100% of
their time boasting about their
unique column design — because they
don't want you to ask about...
-
Their much smaller sheave roller
axles - BendPak uses 1-1/4”
sheave axles. Not only for
increased
strength, but to add more
surface area on the bearings to
minimize friction wear.
- Their lack of cable-break
safety device - BendPak four
post lifts employ 8 independent
safety locks -
have back-ups for back-ups.
-
Their lack of rugged enough
cable-guides to make sure the
cross tube cables stay put on
their
respective sheaves — BendPak
cross tube cables are all routed
internally through the
structures and
around internally mounted
sheaves wedged between solid
steel plates. It is IMPOSSIBLE
for the
cables to jump off. BYB has
externally mounted cross tube
sheaves that incorporate a sheet
metal
cover held on by a set screw
lock ring. Not only does the
set-screw lock ring hold on the
cover, but it
also keeps the sheave roller in
place.
-
Their lack of adjustment for
accommodating unlevel floors.
BendPak’s adjustable ladder
design
provides adjustment for unlevel
floors that enables your
vehicles to sit safely in a
level position even if
your floor is unlevel.
Other
BendPak design features:
-
BendPak’s cable block attached
to the chrome rod features
“outrigger” sleds that ride on
the inside
rails of the runways to ensure
the cable block remains square
at all times. Lifts that do not
incorporate this device can
experience cable block
misalignment (the cylinder rod
tends to rotate as the cylinder
moves due to the inherent nature
of the cables trying to “unwind”
and/or the rifling surface
inside the cylinder bore) which
ultimately causes premature wear
of cables and/or sheaves.

-
BendPak’s dual-hub sheaves
feature 1-1/4” Oilite®
oil-impregnated bronze bushings
and have almost
400% more bearing surface area
for increased life and
durability.

BendPak lifts are more visually
attractive because they feature
lifting cables that are routed
internally through
the cross tubes and columns and
are void of clumsy linkage rods
and external safety locks.
|
 |
Bottom Line
BendPak lifts are actually sold for
slightly less (in most cases) than
BYB because they sell less volume
and have
to charge more. |
