PL-6000DC/DCX Two-Post Parking Lift 17 P/N 5900273 — Rev. A6 —July 2024
⚠ WARNING Installing your Lift on a surface with more than a 1% slope (0.57˚) could lead to
injury or even death. Only install the PL-6000DC Lift on a level floor. If your floor is
not level, consider making the floor level by cutting, removing, and creating a new
concrete slab or choosing a different location.
Do not install the Lift on cracked or defective Concrete.
Never install the Lift over Concrete expansion or control joints of any kind.
All Anchors must be a minimum of 6 in. (152 mm) away from any expansion seams, control
joints or other inconsistencies in the Concrete.
Never install a Lift on hand-mixed Concrete.
Do not install a Lift on a secondary floor level or on any ground floor with a basement beneath
without written authorization from the building Architect and prior approval of Bend Pak Inc.
Verify the floor is not a post-tension slab. If it is a post-tension slab, contact the building
architect before drilling. Using ground penetrating radar may help you find the tensioned cables.
On Post-tension slabs, a qualified technician is required to identify cable locations prior to
cutting or drilling. If there are no signs indicating a Post-Tension Slab, undertake a careful
examination of the exterior of the slab looking for small circular patching areas about 1.5 in. to 3
in. in diameter, typically 2 to 4-feet apart. These patches indicate the ends of the Post-
Tensioned Cables. Another source of information is your local department of Building and
Safety. Structural plans may be retrieved by Building and Safety to determine if the building has
a Post-Tensioned Slab.
⚠ WARNING Cutting through a Post-Tensioned Cable can result in injury or death. Do not drill
into a post-tension slab unless the building architect confirms you are not going to
hit tensioned steel, or you have located it using ground penetrating radar. If a
colored sheath comes up during drilling, stop drilling immediately.
⚠ WARNING Use only the Anchor Bolts that came with your Lift. If you use components from a
different source, you void your warranty and compromise the safety of everyone
who installs or uses the Lift.
⚠ CAUTION BendPak Lifts are supplied with installation instructions and concrete anchors that
met the criteria set by the latest version of the American National Standard
“Automotive Lifts – Safety Requirements for Construction, Testing, and Validation”,
ANSI/ALI ALCTV. 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).
