BendPak XPR-12FDL Floorplate, Direct-Drive 2 Post Car Lift 12,000 lb. - New Gray
If you appreciate the superior quality of a BendPak XPR-9 or 10 series two-post lift but need more lifting power, the XPR-12FDL is an open-top car lift that’s packed with pure, brutish muscle. Like its Clearfloor sister-lift, it offers superior Direct-Drive performance.
XPR-12FDL Offers Heavy-Duty Lifting Capability
The XPR-12FDL is the perfect lifting application for everything that falls in its weight class. Two robust posts are capable of raising some truly massive trucks and SUVs. This might be classified as our “medium-duty” lift, as it covers almost every vehicle in the homeowner/residential arena. It also lifts some commercial vans and trucks, including high-rise vehicles like Sprinters.
However, even though this car lift is made to handle massive vehicles, it belongs in every auto shop or serious DIY garage that lifts trucks, farm equipment, work vans, etc. It might be the most versatile lift you ever own, given that its low-profile arms will easily reach the lift points of low-stance race cars and sports cars (including both foreign and domestic models). The columns are set wide to fit trucks and SUVs, but the dual triple-telescoping arms reach farther than the arms on our lighter-duty lifts. With the XPR-12FDL, you’re not sacrificing the ability to service smaller vehicles as you gain the ability to service large ones.
The XPR-12FDL is an open-top design. An open-top lift does not have a crossbar over the top of the lift, which is desirable for taller vehicles. The hydraulic lines run on the floor, under a floorplate, between the posts.
Dual Direct-Drive two-post car lift technology
We prefer Direct-Drive technology for our 12K two-post lift, as opposed to lifting chains and screw mechanisms. Direct-Drive hydraulic technology has very few moving parts, so there’s less that can go wrong or require service over time. We carefully engineering the dual-synchro equalization system to ensure safe, level working conditions at all times.
Triple-telescoping arm set
Our lighter-duty two-post lift models feature a mixture of two-stage and three-stage telescoping arms. Because a 12K capacity lift needs to make room for wide trucks, vans and SUVs, we set the columns farther apart. We can still reach virtually all lift points on smaller vehicles by only including three-stage arms.
Low-profile, dropped-end frame contact pads
The XPR-12FDL makes safely reaching under low-profile cars safe and easy. The dropped-end design ensures vehicle doors and chassis don’t get scratched or dinged during placement of the arms and pads against the lift points.
16-Piece adapter set / standard
We won’t risk compromising your safety just to get a few extra bucks with a separately sold accessory that’s actually necessary. So, we include a versatile and essential two-post lift accessory kit for your convenience. In this kit, you get four 6" stackable adapters, four 3" stackable adapters, four polyurethane contact pads and four frame cradle pads. You no longer have to worry about lifting trucks with running boards or those auxiliary fuel tanks, which made car lift operation a pain.
Lowered arm tube supports
By lowering the arms tubes, we ensure vehicle doors can open and close without catching the supports.
Automatic arm restraints
The arm restraints on a two-post lift are one of the most essential safety features. These restraints are essentially what keep the arms locked during lift. They lock automatically while the arms ascend the lift carriage, and they disengage when the lift is fully lowered.
Taller lift carriages
Sometimes the magic of BendPak construction exists in the details. Taller lift carriages reduce stress on the columns, so we make ours 53” high. That’s taller—and safer—than our competition.
Maintenance-free load bearings
UHMW load bearings, unlike older-style roller bearings, don’t need lubrication and quite literally never degrade over time. They last forever and aren’t negatively affected by chemicals or oils.
Single-piece columns
How long do you want your columns to last? Decades? Good, that’s how we feel too. And that’s why we make our columns out of a single piece of steel. It makes for a stronger, longer-lasting structure overall.
Single-point safety release
The safety release on every XPR-12 car lift is single-point and easy to use. We keep our operations simple, so you stay safe at all times.
Auto shutoff
Our high-grade overhead shutoff bar stops all action on the lift at the moment a vehicle comes into contact with it.
High-speed hydraulics
For faster operation that doesn’t compromise safety—and in fact increases it—we include, free-flow, high-pressure 3/8" hydraulic lines, a high-flow pump and integrated AC power unit.

Every XPR-12FDL comes with:
Direct-Drive two-post car hoist technology
BendPak two-post car hoists feature low-pressure HVLP direct-drive cylinders eliminating the need for lifting chains or screw mechanisms most commonly found on othercar hoist designs. Dual HVLP low-pressure cylinders minimize leakage and offer better reliability, smoother operation and less maintenance costs throughout the life of your lift. High-volume, low-pressure equates to less workload placed on the entire hydraulic system. Direct-Drive technology is preferred on commercial-grade two post car lifts as it has it has fewer moving parts than a chain-over-roller cylinder configuration. Pressurized hydraulic fluid flows from the power-unit, through the hollow cylinder rods then enters the cylinder body and fills the inside cavity. The pressure of the hydraulic fluid extends the piston rod downward raising the cylinder body and lift carriages. A dual-synchro equalization system maintains equal lifting and provides operators with a stable, level vehicle working condition.
Triple-telescoping arm set
Three-stage front and three-stage rear arms provide maximum reach, as well as minimum retraction. Use this super-duty lift system for raising standard passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks.
16-Piece Adapter Set / Standard
Others might charge extra for these necessary adapters, but they're standard with every XPR-Series heavy-duty model. Multi-piece set includes four 6" stackable adapters, four 3" stackable adapters, four polyurethane contact pads and four frame cradle pads. Ideal for trucks and vans with running boards or auxiliary fuel tanks.
Lowered arm tube supports
To minimize the chance of damaging vehicles with low-hanging vehicle doors, we completely redesigned our arm tube supports to allow for better clearance.
Automatic arm restraints
Each arm is equipped with durable arm restraints that automatically engage each time the lift is raised. When the lift is lowered, the gear arm restraints automatically disengage to provide easy positioning of the lift arms.
Taller lift carriages
Take a close look at our lift carriages (the lifting assembly that the arms are attached to) and then take a look at the competition. You'll notice our 53" tall carriages are considerably taller than most, which minimizes the stress placed on the load bearings and columns.
Maintenance-free load bearings
Rather than using roller bearings that need to be constantly lubricated, every XPR-Series lift carriage uses high-tech UHMW (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) load bearings that never need lubrication and are designed to last the entire life of the lift.
Single-piece columns
We purposely manufacture the columns using single-piece construction for added strength and less fatigue under heavy load conditions.
Dual direct-drive technology By utilizing two, low-pressure HVLP direct-drive cylinders, we've eliminated the need for lifting chains or screw mechanisms most commonly found on other lift designs. HVLP direct-drive technology offers better reliability, smoother operation and less maintenance. High-volume, low-pressure equates to less workload placed on the entire hydraulic system.
Single-point safety release
The single point safety release and "dead man" style operation controls makes every one of our XPR-Series lifts easy to operate and safe to use.
On the level
Our dual-synchro equalization system maintains equal lifting and provides operators with a stable, level vehicle working condition.
Industrial-grade hydraulic cylinders
Integrated into every XPR-Series hydraulic cylinder is a one-piece, pilot fitted, machined steel piston that is wrapped with specially designed, pressure loaded U-cup piston seals, backups and wear bands that virtually eliminate any fluid bypass. The micro-smooth chrome-rod is machined from high-yield, ground and polished C-1045/50 micro-alloy steel and plated to a minimum of .001" diametrically, to ensure superior cylinder operation and life. The superior-design high durometer, mechanically-loaded rod seals make rod leakage is a thing of the past while a specially formulated abrasion-resistant urethane rod wiper provides exclusion protection. The welded cylinder body is made from robust steel tubing produced to exceed ASTM specifications. This combination of superb base material and superior processing ensures that the cylinders remain straight, smooth and last a very long time.
High-speed hydraulics
Free-flow, high-pressure 3/8" hydraulic lines, a high-flow pump and integrated AC power-unit increase ascent and descent speed rates for enhanced productivity.
Durable powder-coat finish
All XPR-Series lifts feature a durable powder-coat finish that gives the metal a high-quality, extremely durable finish which can withstand even the harshest environmental or chemical conditions. Unlike other companies that claim to powder coat, we take pride in our meticulous 10-step process. First, all parts are visually inspected before being sandblasted. Afterwards, the parts are washed in our 5-stage phosphate tanks that can accommodate parts up to 25' long. Once cleaned, they're immediately dried to avoid rust production, and then outgassed. Outgassing pre-bakes the parts in a curing oven, reducing the possibility of blemishes that may be hiding in the pores of the metal. If not properly outgassed, imperfections in the metal may bubble during the curing process and most likely will cause chips in the powder. After the parts are washed and outgassed, any surfaces and / or threaded holes that need to be masked or plugged, are done so with high-temperature masking tape and silicone plugs. Next, the parts are given a quick thinner wipe to remove any light debris or fingerprints, before being hung on an electrostatically grounded conveyor line. The powder is finally applied using an electrostatic spray gun. The powder "sticks" to the surface in a fashion similar to how dust sticks to a television screen. Once the parts are powder coated, the carts are rolled into our curing oven and baked at 400° F for 45 minutes.
