BendPak MDS-6LP - Mid-Rise Scissor - Open Center - 6000 lb. Capacity 5175226

The open-center design of the MDS-6LP makes it a clear leader in convenience and work productivity. Designed for home garages, full-service shops and quick-lube pits, and basically anyone who works on cars. This rugged mid-rise lift is also perfect for shops with low ceilings.

The MDS-6 Series Revolution

This open-center mid-rise lift is a mechanical marvel. Decades of experience have taught us a thing or two about designing equipment to safely connect to virtually any vehicle's OEM lift points. A car lift with longer platforms means you get to lift more vehicle types than ever. Some well-meaning shops risk the personal safety and well-being of the vehicles they work on because their lifts don’t full reach those OEM jack points. BendPak's redesigned MDS-6LP corrects that problem once and for all with longer platforms. Its extended lift point spread means vehicles with long wheelbases can be safely raised in seconds flat.

Add or remove ramps at your leisure
Converting your low-rise lift to a flush-mount design is now easier than ever. Our design lets the ramps attach directly to the platform. This makes it easy to work on elevated vehicles, especially in the wheel well area. The approach ramps have slotted receivers and simply drop into place. They are easily removed by pulling upward for rapid disconnect from the frames.

Stronger lift from a collapsed position
The MDS-6LP mid-rise lift has a pivoting “kicker” mechanism that helps lift low ground-clearance vehicles. Unfortunately, some scissor have poor mechanical advantage when fully lowered. They have no lifting force until the frames rise a few inches. Our kicker is like having booster rockets for the first six inches of upward movement.

Four hydraulic cylinders
Your low-rise lift is no wimp. Four super-powerful hydraulic cylinders with a proprietary flow divider ensure the separate platforms remain level and efficient at all times. It takes mere seconds to get to the max rise. This lift also features the best electric-hydraulic technology the industry has to offer.

Solid-steel safety lock bars
As the platforms rise, locks automatically engage at several heights. This safety feature ensures two things: more versatile positions to work from and increased safety as the platforms rise. For your safety, hydraulics are not engaged when the safety arms rest on the mechanical locks. Once the lift moves, hydraulic pressure resumes.

Convenient stainless-steel pneumatic cylinders
Air cylinders replace spring releases on the MDS-6LP mid-rise lift. They make sure the locks release at the same time as the lift descends. Each cylinder need to be pressurized with a 50 PSI, 10-CFM air source at the time of installation. Any air compressor or hand pump will do the trick.

A push-button safety lock release system
Releasing the mechanical lock system is as easy as pressing a button. The locks deactivate instantly and the lift lowers completely in seconds flat. You’ve never seen a more convenient or easy-to-use lock release system.

Hinge-point features Zerk grease fittings
Zerk grease fittings are self-lubricating and long-lasting. They require minimal maintenance to ensure your car lift lasts for years without trouble. Spend your days working without the squeal of metal-on-metal. The MDS-6LP mid-rise lift practically maintains itself with these rugged fittings doing the work for you.

Durable, cushioned rubber contact blocks
BendPak rubber blocks are tough, hard and super-durable. Other companies offer little pads and small blocks that shred after heavy use. Not ours. They’ll last for years without issues. If you ever need replacements or want
