Description
Drive passenger vehicles over a flush, open-center platform without tripping over floor-mounted crossbars or hydraulic lines. The Bendpak MDS-6LP Mid Rise Scissor lift elevates 6000 lbs up to 44 inches with open undercarriage access. It speeds up brake jobs, though lifted four-wheel-drive trucks with wide frames exceed its runway width boundaries.
Bendpak fabricates the twin scissor platforms from heavy structural steel bar stock, reinforced with solid steel hinge pins and internal cross members. Dual synchronized hydraulic cylinders power the lifting linkages, driven by a 110/220V electric-hydraulic power unit at 2500 PSI. Multi-position automatic mechanical safety lock bars secure the elevated platform. Total equipment weight registers at 850 lbs on concrete shop floors, collapsing to 4.5 inches flat.
Features of Bendpak MDS-6LP
High-volume brake shops, wheel service bays, and collision repair centers demand rapid vehicle elevation and wide open center access. Automotive mechanics operate this mid-rise scissor lift to perform wheel alignments, suspension repairs, and underbody exhaust replacements.
- 6000-lb rated lifting capacity handles passenger sedans, sports cars, and compact sport utility vehicles.
- Open-center design leaves vehicle chassis wide open for transmission jacks and exhaust servicing.
- 44-inch maximum lift height provides comfortable working elevation for brake and body repairs.
- Low-profile 4.5-inch collapsed height allows low-clearance passenger sports cars to drive over.
- Dual synchronized hydraulic cylinders provide level platform elevation without mechanical binding.
- Automatic multi-position safety lock bars hold vehicle weight secure at varied working heights.
- Heavy steel drive-over ramps flip forward to extend runway contact length for longer wheelbases.
Hydraulic Bench Dyno Load Telemetry
Proof testing verified scissor platform structural holding under 125 percent proof load at 7500 lbs on a level concrete test slab. Hydraulic operating pressure peaked at 2450 PSI under rated 6000-lb vehicle ascent. Power unit fluid temperatures rose 18°F above ambient room temperature after ten consecutive lifting cycles. Full rise duration clocked 35 seconds to maximum 44-inch stroke height. Runway platform longitudinal steel deflection measured under 0.020 inches under full vehicle axle load testing conditions.
Field Limits Maintenance Service Protocols
The push-button hydraulic console and pneumatic lock release provide intuitive one-man lift operation in fast-paced service bays. This mid-rise scissor lift is not built for unanchored outdoor use, wash bays with direct water spray, or lifting commercial heavy-duty trucks.
- Scissor pivot pins and roller slide tracks demand white lithium grease lubrication every 30 operating days.
- Hydraulic fluid levels demand seasonal checks using clean ISO 32 hydraulic fluid.
- Pneumatic lock release air cylinders require clean, dry air supply inspections every 60 working days.
