The MDS-6EXTF mid-rise lift has been meticulously designed to meet the unique needs of long-wheelbase vehicles. With extended lifting points, it effortlessly reaches the far edges of your vehicle’s underbody. The addition of extended approach ramps transforms your flush-mount mid-rise lift into an approach lift, making it easy to accommodate low-stance vehicles and larger tires.
The pneumatic kicker boosts the lift platforms for the initial 6 inches, overcoming the mechanical challenges normally faced with scissor lifts. These air-powered boosters assist the hydraulics during the initial lifting phase and are maintenance-free. Four hydraulic cylinders work in unison, ensuring a uniform lift. A built-in flow divider ensures equal pressure to each hydraulic hose, achieving about 45 inches of lift quickly and efficiently.
As with the rest of BendPak’s lineup, the MDS-6EXTF was built first and foremost with safety in mind. The safety arms lock automatically and continuously during ascent, transferring all pressure off the hydraulic system when secured, ensuring no failures due to fluid leaks. Air lock releases replace traditional spring releases, instantly disengaging the lock upon descent with the push of a button. These air locks require minimal maintenance and are just as safe as spring devices, needing a 50 PSI, 10 CFM air source during installation.
Grease fittings keep critical wear areas from degrading due to friction, ensuring smooth operation over time. The MDS-6EXTF comes with rugged rubber lift blocks, designed to withstand heavy use and abuse while ensuring secure lifting points. With multiple lock positions, you can choose the height appropriate for any job, whether it’s a few inches for brake service or full extension for comfortable under-vehicle access.
The MDS-6EXTF come standard with detailed instructions, safety decals, and training placards to ensure proper use and maintenance, extending the lifespan of your lift and ensuring safety. The ease of use, combined with robust features and a focus on safety, makes the MDS-6EXTF an indispensable addition to any workshop, especially those dealing with the latest generation of electric vehicles.
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.
- Each lift platform features four solid steel-scissor frame support bars, making it one of the strongest mid-rise lifts in its class.
- Dual master hydraulic cylinder combines with dual equalizing cylinders to provide a safe and level 6,000 pound lifting capacity.
- Solid-steel safety lock bars engage automatically during descent.
- Convenient stainless-steel pneumatic cylinders simultaneously release safety locks during descent with a simple push of a button. (NOTE: Requires min. 50 PSI, 10 CFM air source at time of installation.)
- A push-button safety lock release system is operated away from the lift and allows operators to safely deactivate the locks without the need to push or pull cumbersome release bars or lock release handles.
- Hinge point features Zerk grease fitting to allow lubrication at critical wear areas.
- Comes standard with four durable cushioned-rubber contact blocks, permitting fast vehicle setup.
- Three locking positions allow technicians to work at different working heights to increase productivity and minimize fatigue.
- Powder coat finish provides a long lasting durable finish.
