Bend-Pak Inc. introduced a new line of heavy-duty mobile column lifts for lifting trucks, buses or other commercial type vehicles. The addition of the MCL-16 Mobile Column Lifting System will greatly extend Bend-Pak’s market presence from typical automotive and lift truck services to fleet, bus and commercial truck garages and service outlets, the company said.

The free-standing, mobile column lifting system is available in configurations of two, four, six or eight columns with lifting capacities ranging from 32,000 to 128,000 pounds. Since the MCL-16 system is fully mobile, there are no installation concerns or the often-troublesome dilemma of finding a dedicated location for larger commercially sized lifts, the company said. All that is needed for the MCL-16 is a flat, stable floor and a power source allowing the system to be used inside or out.

The MCL-16 system’s controls are located on each column with up/down buttons and emergency stop buttons. The system can be operated from any one of the control stations meaning there is no dedicated master column, the company said.

Based in Santa Paula, Calif., Bend-Pak (www.bendpak.com) is a supplier of surface mounted vehicle lifts and tubing benders for automotive and commercial applications.
