PL-6000DC/DCX Two-Post Parking Lift 22 P/N 5900273 — Rev. A6 —July 2024
Move and Prepare the Lift Posts
This section moves the Lift Posts to the chalk lines and installs the Cover Plates, one end of the
Balance Chain, the Limit Switch and feeds the Hydraulic Hose through the Powerside Post.
BendPak strongly recommends using a Forklift or Shop Crane to move the Posts. You need to have at
least two people work together to stand up the Posts.
⚠ DANGER The Posts are heavy; be very careful when handling them. If they shift position or
fall, they could cause serious injury. Only allow trained personnel to move the Posts
and use appropriate lifting devices, such as a Forklift or Shop Crane.
To move the Posts into position:
For shipping purposes, two Lift Carriages are mounted on one post. With the help of an assistant,
remove one carriage and install it onto the post that shipped without a carriage. Be careful to orient
the Carriage on the Post correctly.
IMPORTANT The Carriage is a tight fit. Apply a small amount of Lithium Grease to the inside of
the Lift Post to ease the Carriage motion.
Using a Forklift or Shop Crane, move the Posts, one at a time, near to the Chalk Line Guides you
created. The Powerside Post and the Offside Posts are different. Look for the long side of the Lift
Carriage and position that side toward the Approach of the Lift. Do not stand the Posts up yet.
Attach the Front Supports to both Posts using (6) Six M12 x 45 Hex Head Bolts with Ø12 mm Flat
Washer, Lock Washer, and Hex Nut on each Front Support.
