Description
Flush-Mount Mid-Rise Lifting for Longer Wheelbases
The BendPak MDS-6EXTF Extended Flush-Mount Open-Center Mid-Rise Scissor Lift combines the extended platform reach of the MDS-6EXT with a recessed, flush-mount installation for shops that want a cleaner floor and better access to longer vehicles. With a 6,000-lb. capacity, extended lift points, and open-center design, it is built for long-wheelbase vehicles, modern EVs, and service bays that need more reach without adding floor clutter.
The flush-mount design allows the lift to sit level with the floor when lowered, while extended approach ramps can turn the recessed lift into an easy approach setup for low-stance vehicles and larger tires. For shops that service newer platforms with wide lift point spreads, the MDS-6EXTF gives technicians a more capable mid-rise option.
Extended Approach Access with a Zero-Footprint Bay
The MDS-6EXTF is built to support the unique needs of longer vehicles by reaching farther toward the outer edges of the underbody. That extended reach helps position vehicles more confidently at recommended pick-up points, especially when standard mid-rise platforms feel too short.
Because the lift installs flush with the floor, it keeps the bay cleaner when not in use. Add the extended approach ramps when loading, remove them when access matters, and keep the working area more open during service.
Pneumatic Boost and Four-Cylinder Lift Control
A pneumatic kicker boosts the platforms through the initial 6 inches of lift, helping overcome the mechanical challenges common to low-profile scissor lifts. These air-powered boosters assist the hydraulics during the first stage of lifting and are designed to require minimal maintenance.
Four hydraulic cylinders work in unison to raise the platforms, while a built-in flow divider helps maintain equal pressure to each hydraulic hose. The result is a quick, efficient rise to about 45 inches with balanced platform movement across the lift.
Safety Locks, Air Release, and Shop-Ready Support
Solid-steel safety arms lock automatically and continuously during ascent, transferring load off the hydraulic system when the lift is secured. Multiple lock positions allow technicians to choose the working height that fits the job, from brake service to underbody access.
Air lock releases replace traditional spring releases and disengage the locks during descent with the push of a button. Zerk grease fittings help protect critical wear areas, while rugged rubber lift blocks support secure vehicle contact points during daily shop use.
