BendPak HDS40FL Four-Post Lift - 40,000-lbs. Capacity

Forklift Service Finally Gets the Four-Post Lift It Deserves

The BendPak HDS40FL Four-Post Lift is purpose-built for forklift service, giving industrial facilities and fleet maintenance teams a safer, more efficient way to raise compact, heavy machines with concentrated axle and mast loads. With 40,000 lbs. of capacity, this forklift lift is designed around the way electric and internal combustion forklifts are actually maintained, not around passenger-car lift assumptions.

Forklifts are low, compact, and heavy in all the wrong places for ordinary service equipment. The HDS40FL solves that with a wide, rigid runway platform, low 9.75-inch runway height, and drive-on workflow that helps technicians load, chock, lift, lock, and service forklifts with confidence.

Drive-On Forklift Lift Layout for Industrial Bays

The HDS40FL uses a single-approach design that lets operators drive on, perform service, and back down the same ramp. Spotting is straightforward thanks to 133.75 inches between columns, 109 inches of drive-in clearance, and 197.5-inch runways sized for common electric and IC forklift wheelbases.

This layout supports real industrial workflow where speed, safety, and repeatability matter. The low approach and runway height help reduce the drama of loading compact equipment, while the rigid platform supports the whole truck during maintenance.

Access Where Forklift Technicians Need It

With the forklift resting on the runways, technicians get practical access to steer axles, drive axles, brakes, hubs, belly pans, cooling packs, hydraulic lines, and battery compartments. The lift is built to make routine inspections, repairs, and fleet maintenance easier without forcing technicians into awkward floor-level work.

For wheel-off service, compatible rolling bridge jacks can be added to lift a single axle while the forklift remains supported on the lift. That makes the HDS40FL a more complete forklift service platform for shops handling tires, hubs, brakes, and axle-related work.

High-Cycle Support for Forklift Maintenance Programs

The HDS40FL is built for high-cycle industrial environments, with 13 mechanical lock positions in 4-inch increments and working heights from 20 inches to 67.25 inches. With 69.75 inches of total rise, it gives service teams flexible working height for inspection, maintenance, and repair.

This lift is designed for facilities that need forklift service to be part of the regular workflow, not an improvisation with jacks and stands. For warehouses, distribution centers, equipment fleets, and industrial shops, the HDS40FL gives forklift maintenance a dedicated lift built for the job.
