MD-6XP Mid-Rise Scissor Lift 6 P/N 5900108 — Rev. F — March 2020
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: How much weight can the MD-6XP raise?
Answer: The MD-6XP can raise Vehicles up to 6,000 pounds (2,722 kg).
Q: The MD-6XP is called a “mid-rise” Lift, what does that mean?
A: It means that the MD-6XP can raise a Vehicle up to three and a half feet off the ground, which is
higher than low-rise scissor lifts, but not as high as full-rise scissor lifts.
Q: Can the MD-6XP be installed outside?
A: BendPak does not recommend keeping it permanently outside. The MD-6XP has electrical
components that must be protected from the environment, especially water. However, the
MD-6XP is portable, so you can take it outside, use it, and then bring it back inside. If you do use
the unit outside on a regular basis, BendPak recommends performing maintenance on it more
frequently than specified in the Maintenance section (which is for units used inside only).
Q: Does it matter where I put the Stand/Power Unit?
A: Yes. The Long Hydraulic Hose needs to be able to reach the unit; additionally, the operator
must
have a clear, unobstructed view of the Lift at all times.
Q: What if I want to raise a Vehicle that is slightly over the weight capacity of the Lift?
A: This is
not
an intended use of the product. We strongly recommend
against
trying to raise a
Vehicle that is heavier than the rated capacity of your Lift.
Q: How many Safety Lock positions does my Lift have?
A: Three. This gives you multiple heights to which you can raise the Lift, so it is easy to set it to the
right height for what you are doing.
Q: What do the Safety Locks do?
A: Safety Locks use gravity and intelligent engineering to hold up the Platform, Arms, and the Vehicle
on the Arms,
once they are engaged
. Even if the Lift loses power or the Hydraulic Hoses leak
or are cut, the Vehicle will stay up if you left the Lift engaged on a Safety Lock.
Only leave your
Lift either fully lowered or engaged on a Safety Lock!
Q: Which end of the MD-6XP is the “front”?
A: There is no front or back. You can drive Vehicles onto and off of the Lift in either direction. The
MD-6XP works great no matter which direction you drive the Vehicles on and off.
Q: The MD-6XP is described as “frame-engaging”, what does that mean?
A: It means the Pads on the ends of the Arms contact the underside of the Vehicle to raise it. To put it
another way, the Vehicle is
not
raised by its wheels.
