BendPak XPR-18CL Clearfloor Standard Arms 2 Post Car Lift 18,000 lb - New Gray!
Shops that work on massive fleets and vehicles need a powerful car lift with a small footprint. BendPak’s 18,000-lb. capacity XPR-18CL offers the most extraordinary lifting capacity of any two-post lift we make, which means you get the best column, carriage and frame component construction we offer.
The Beast with Two Posts
With an XPR-18CL two-post car lift, you will service an incredibly diverse array of vehicles. High-capacity two-post lifts are commonly known as “all-service” lifts. Given their versatility, they’re the most common lift type found in professional shops. And, because they’re going to be in so many shops, it’s important that the XPR-18CL can lift any vehicle that falls well under the max weight capacity. This means the telescoping arms will adjust to fit under race cars and other low ground-clearance vehicles.
In addition to smaller cars and light trucks, it will also lift oversized equipment: trailers, farming equipment, commercial trucks, etc. The columns are built wide enough to accommodate just about any vehicle up to 18,000 lbs., making the XPR-18CL ideal for service shops that want to be prepared for the anything. The only way to get more lifting power from a BendPak lift is to move into four-post lift territory. However, for a smaller footprint, extreme power and majestic durability and safety, you can’t do better than the BendPak XPR-18CL.
Clearfloor convenience
Hydraulic lines on heavy-duty lifts are best kept up and out of the way. With our Clearfloor design, there’s no risk of massive vehicles running over cables and damaging the integrity of your lift.
Dual Direct-Drive technology
BendPak’s dual-cylinder Direct-Drive technology offers superior hydraulic lift. Each reinforced steel column holds a hydraulic cylinder to ensure a safe, even lift every time. Heavier two-post lifts are ideal for Direct-Drive technology because there’s no need for what would have to be a massive chain-over system.
Industrial-grade hydraulic cylinders
If you’ve never bought a BendPak Dual Direct-Drive hydraulic lift before, you’re in for a treat. The hydraulic cylinders never leak, due to superior construction and attention to detail during the most delicate phases of the manufacturing. The chrome rod is made of C-1045/50 micro-alloy and plated to a minimum of .001" diametrically. This results in a high-durometer rod seal that is machine-loaded at a crucial, delicate phase of construction to prevent any fluid leakage. A urethane rod wiper provides exclusion protection. BendPak is careful to design and test our car lifts to go beyond ASTM specifications, and our powerful, no-leak hydraulic cylinders are one of the top-mentioned reasons customers come back to buy from us time and time again.
Super-duty telescoping arms
The XPR-18CL two-post lift is durable enough to lift a massive amount of weight. However much space between the garage floor and your vehicle’s lift points, our smart, telescoping design and no-scratch pads make every lift safe and easy.
Low-profile, dropped-end frame contact pads
This lift services sports cars and low-profile compact vehicles, no problem. If we raised the lift capacity but lost the ability for our powerful lift to service more commonly used vehicles, we’d be limiting what you can do with our lifts. BendPak’s heavy-duty lifts are always sure to expand your lifting potential.
16-Piece adapter set / standard
While our XPR 9 and 10 Series two-post lifts have been refitted with new 63 mm screw pad assemblies, we know that heavy-duty lifting applications call for specialty adapters. BendPak stands at the forefront of innovation, from our massive, signature lift columns to our less-talked-about adapter kits. Nothing goes overlooked, and with a 16-piece adapter set, you never have to worry about being unable to reach a lift point on your vehicle frame. The included set includes four 3” and four 6” stackable adapters, four polyurethane pads and four cradle pads.
Lowered arm tube supports
This lift is designed with lowered arm tube supports to ensure ease-of-access with every vehicle type.
Automatic arm restraints
Rest assured that your heaviest lifting applications are secure on a BendPak two-post lift. Automatic restraints are powerful enough for massive trucks and trailer up to 18,000 lbs., yet nimble enough to reach under delicate, easily scratched sports car chassis. The XPR-18CL is versatile enough to handle almost any vehicle you need to work under.
Taller lift carriages
The 53” lift carriage is essential for heavy lifting. Our competitors' designs often feature lower columns and don’t compensate for loss the structural integrity in their engineering (a.k.a., they rip you off). The XPR-18CL is designed to safely lift massive vehicles, so we know the value in telling you the truth. We don’t cut corners on design.
Maintenance-free load bearings
BendPak uses UHMW (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) load bearings because they’re virtually indestructible and never require operator maintenance.
Single-piece columns
All of BendPak’s two-post lift columns are made from a single piece of steel in order to better distribute weight down the beam and extend the life of your lift.
Single-point safety release
An easy-to-reach, single-point release is ergonomically located for your convenience. Immediately and safely stop all procedures at any time during ascent and descent.
On the level
A commercial truck is a heck of a thing to lift, and any disproportionate weight displacement would be disastrous. Whatever you’re lifting on the XPR-18CL, BendPak’s unique dual-syncho equalization system is specifically designed to keep heavy vehicles balanced as they rise.
Auto shutoff
Any vehicle that touches the overhead structure will trigger the entire operation to shut down. It’s just another way BendPak works to ensure your safety.
High-speed hydraulics
BendPak’s 3/8" hydraulic lines deliver along with a high-flow pump and integrated AC power-unit. In other words, we lift you up and get you down fast.
Choose Extended Height
The XPR-18CL-192 is our tallest and highest-capacity car lift. Extended-length columns mean the tallest heavy-duty vehicles can be serviced in your shop without sacrificing any of our crucial safety features and performance expectations.

Every XPR-18CL comes with:
Direct-Drive two-post car lift technology
BendPak two-post lifts feature low-pressure HVLP direct-drive cylinders eliminating the need for lifting chains or screw mechanisms most commonly found on other lift 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.
Clearfloor convenience
Our clearfloor models provide unobstructed floor space allowing technicians to easily move toolboxes, transmission jacks, oil drains and other equipment underneath the elevated vehicle.
Optional column extension
Gives you the flexibility of increasing the overhead clearance to maximize the vehicles you can service.
Low-profile, dropped-end frame contact pads
Squeeze under even the lowest compact and sport vehicles.
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.
Auto shutoff
A rigid, padded safety shutoff bar automatically stops the lift should a vehicle come in contact with overhead structure.
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.
