Selecting a Location
When selecting the location for your GP-7 Series lift, consider:
• Architectural plans. Consult the architectural plans for your desired installation location. Make
sure there are no contradictions between what you want to do and what the plans show.
• Available space. Make sure there is enough space for the lift; front, back, sides, and
above .
Refer to Specifications for exact measurements.
• Overhead obstructions. Check for overhead obstructions such as building supports, heaters,
lights, electrical lines, low ceilings, and so on.
• Power. You need a 220 VAC power source available for the lift’s Power Unit.
• Outdoor installations. GP-7 Series lifts are not designed to be installed outdoors. However,
they can be accommodated in certain regions
if optional moisture preventative devices are used.
Email techsupport@bendpak.com for more information.
• Floor. Only install the lift on a flat, concrete floor; do not install on asphalt or any other surface.
The surface must be level; do not install if the surface has more than three degrees of slope.
⚠ WARNING Installing your lift on a surface with more than three degrees of slope could lead to
injury or even death. Only install GP-7 Series lifts on a level floor (defined as no
more than 3/8 of an inch difference over the installation area). If your floor is not
level, consider making the floor level or using a different location.
• Concrete specifications. Do not install the lift on cracked or defective concrete. Make sure the
concrete is at least 4.25 inches thick, 3,000 PSI, and cured for a minimum of 28 days.
⚠ CAUTION BendPak lifts are supplied with installation instructions and concrete anchors that
meet the criteria set by the American National Standard “Automotive Lifts – Safety
Requirements for Construction, Testing, and Validation”, ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2011.
You are responsible for any special regional structural and/or seismic anchoring
requirements specified by any other agencies and/or codes such as the Uniform
Building Code (UBC) and/or International Building Code (IBC).
Check your floor for the possibility of it being a post tension slab. In this case, contact the building
architect before drilling. Using ground penetrating radar may help you find the tensioned steel.
