The BendPak PL-12000DPS Tandem Platform Storage Lift is the ideal compact parking solution for maximizing vehicle storage without expanding your facility’s footprint. Designed with short runways, this model is perfect for spaces with depth limitations. It accommodates two independently controlled platforms, allowing one vehicle to be raised or lowered without disturbing the other—a huge time-saver for busy garages or collectors.
Engineered for maximum performance and space efficiency, the PL-12000DPS boasts a 6,000 lb. capacity per platform, dependable dual hydraulic cylinders, and galvanized lifting cables. Its streamlined design still provides heavy-duty durability, thanks to its powder-coated steel frame, front and rear wheel chocks, and multi-position locking system. Full-width platforms keep bottom vehicles protected, while lightweight aluminum ramps allow for easy vehicle loading.
This lift combines industrial strength with smart, simple operation. Featuring quick lift times (≈45 seconds), low maintenance requirements, and BendPak’s renowned 5-2-1 warranty, it delivers long-term reliability and value. The PL-12000DPS is an excellent solution for residential garages, commercial fleets, or vehicle storage operations looking to increase parking density while staying within space constraints.
