Introduction

This manual describes the PL-6K Series of parking lifts, which let you park double or triple the number

of vehicles in a parking area. Each platform supports up to 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg).

There are three models in the PL-6K Series:

•PL-6KDT: Parking lift with two independent Platforms

•PL-6KDTX:

extra wide

parking lift with two independent Platforms

• PL-6KT: Parking lift with three independent Platforms

All three models are similar, so if no distinction is made in this manual, then the information applies to

all three models. If information applies to only one model, that distinction is mentioned in text.

More information about the full line of BendPak products can be found at bendpak.com.

This manual is mandatory reading for all users of PL-6K Series lifts, including anyone who installs,

uses, maintains, repairs, or wants to know more about them.

⚠DANGER Be extremely careful when installing, operating, maintaining, or repairing this

equipment; failure to do so could result in property damage, product damage,

injury, or (in very rare cases) death. Make sure only authorized personnel operate

this equipment. All repairs must be performed by an authorized technician. Do not

make modifications to the unit; this voids the warranty and increases the chances

of injury or property damage. Make sure to read and follow the instructions on the

labels on the unit.

Keep this manual on or near the equipment so that anyone who uses or services it can read it.

Shipping Information

Your equipment was carefully checked before shipping. Nevertheless, you should thoroughly inspect

the shipment

before

you sign to acknowledge that you received it.

When you sign a bill of lading, it tells the carrier that the items on the invoice were received in good

condition.

To protect yourself, do not sign until

after

you have inspected the shipment.

If any of

the items listed on the bill of lading are missing or are damaged, do not accept the shipment until the

carrier makes a notation on the bill of lading that lists the missing and/or damaged goods.

If you discover missing or damaged goods

after

you receive the shipment and have signed the bill of

lading, notify the carrier at once and request the carrier to make an inspection. If the carrier will not

make an inspection, prepare a signed statement to the effect that you have notified the carrier (on a

specific date) and that the carrier has failed to comply with your request.

It is difficult to collect for loss or damage after you have given the carrier a signed bill of lading. If this

happens to you, file a claim with the carrier promptly. Support your claim with copies of the bill of

lading, freight bill, invoice, and photographs, if available. Our willingness to assist in helping you

process your claim does not make us responsible for collection of claims or replacement of lost or

damaged materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What kinds of vehicles can I park on my PL-6K Series lift?

Answer: Cars, light trucks, and SUVs; up to 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg) each.

Q: How long will it take to raise or lower my vehicle?

A: About 30 seconds.

Q: Does the lift have to be anchored in place?

A: Yes. The posts must be anchored.

Q: Can I install my lift outside?

A: Parking lifts are not intended for outdoor use. However, outdoor installations can be

accommodated in certain regions

optional moisture preventative devices are ordered and installed.

Go to bendpak.com/support or email techsupport@bendpak.com for additional information.

Q: Can I use my lift to store boxes of stuff instead of a vehicle?

A: No. This is not the intended use of the lift; you should not use it this way.

Q: How high does my garage ceiling have to be to park my vehicles?

A: It depends on the height of the vehicles you are putting on the Platforms. If you are parking low-

slung vehicles, then your ceiling does not have to be as high as it would need to be if you are parking

taller vehicles. Refer to Will My Car Fit? for additional information.

Q: Does the Control Box have to be on the Control Post?

A: Yes. That location gives the operator a clear view of the Platforms as they are raised and lowered.

Q: Does it matter if I drive my vehicles in front first or back them in?

A: No. Your parking lift works great either way.

Q: Will the ‘cables’ really hold my vehicles?

A: Yes. PL-6K Series lifts use 3/8 inch, aircraft-quality

wire rope

that runs through oversized

sheaves, reducing friction on them and extending their life with minimal maintenance.

Q: How long can I leave a vehicle on a raised Platform?

A: As long as you want. The locking system is based on gravity and intelligent engineering. Once the

Safety Lock is engaged, gravity holds it in position, so a loss of power does not impact it. Your vehicle

is going to stay exactly where you left it, for as long as you want. Remember to always leave your lift

either on the ground or on the Safety Lock.

Q: How many Safety Lock positions does my lift have?

A: One. Your lift can either be on the ground or on the Safety Lock. Do not leave your lift any other

way.

Will My Car Fit?

Your parking lift accommodates a wide variety of cars, light trucks, and SUVs. This section describes

how to safely park your vehicles on a Platform.

Width

Considerations for vehicle width include:

•Platform width. The usable width of the Platform is 86 inches (7.1 feet, 2184 mm); your tires

cannot be wider than this.

All four tires must be fully on the Platform

; they cannot be on

the side structure or on the Ramp.

•Mirrors. Mirrors and other accessories may mean that some parts of a vehicle are much wider

than the rest of the vehicle. Parking lifts are designed to have lots of open space, but if you are

parking two vehicles next to each other that both have wide mirrors or other accessories, make

sure they do not hit each other.

•Car doors. Opening car doors makes the vehicle wider while they are open. Generally you want

to avoid opening the doors of multiple cars parked next to each other at the same time. You

cannot open a car door while the vehicle is raised, so this is not an issue for raised vehicles.

Length

Considerations for vehicle length include:

•Platform length. The usable length of the Platform is 154.6 inches (12.9 feet, 3927 mm); your

wheelbase cannot be longer than this.

All four tires must be fully on the Platform

; they

cannot be on the Ramp or the Tire Stop.

•Overhang. If a vehicle’s tires are fully on the Platform, then the parts of the vehicle hanging over

the front Tire Stop or the Ramp are not a concern, as long as they do not hit anything.

Height

Considerations for vehicle height include:

•Ceiling height. The height of your ceiling determines how much space you can allocate to the

two vehicles. If you want to park a tall vehicle on a Platform and under the Platform, your ceiling is

going to have to be higher than if you want to park two low-slung vehicles.

•Formula. There’s a formula for figuring out how much height you need, based on the vehicles you

want to park.

Height of vehicle on Platform + 9.5 inches + height of Safety Lock

Add these together; your garage height needs to be higher than the sum of these values.

Tip To find the “height of Safety Lock”, raise a Platform and lock it on its Safety Lock

position, then measure from the ground to the bottom of the raised Platform. Note

that the maximum rise height listed in Specifications is how high the mechanism

can go before stopping; the Safety Lock height is not the same as maximum rise.

PL-6K Series Parking Lifts 9P/N 5900056 — October 2017 — Rev. A

Safety Lock Positions

Each PL-6K Series lift Platform has one Safety Lock position.

During installation, you can set the height of that one Safety Lock position to either the High or the Low

setting, on a per-platform basis. The height setting of one Platform does not impact the height setting

of the other Platform(s).

The two settings are:

•High setting: Moves the Platform higher, leaving

more room under

the Platform (but less

room above the Platform) when it is on the Safety Lock. The High setting is generally the best

choice for parking higher-profile vehicles under the Platform; SUVs, large trucks, or other high-

profile vehicles, for example.

•Low setting: Leaves

less room under

the Platform (but more room above the Platform) when

it is on the Safety Lock. The Low setting is generally the best choice for parking lower-profile

vehicles under the Platform; passenger vehicles or small trucks, for example.

The High or Low setting is set during the installation process, so you need to decide which one you

want no later than the installation of the crossbeams.

Important: Installers, you need to have the lift owner make this decision no later than the

installation of the crossbeams.

The method for setting a Platform to the High or Low setting is found in Prepare the Center

Crossbeam(s).

Tip Once your Platforms are installed, raise each one and leave it on its Safety Lock

position. Measure from the ground to the underside of the Platform. The vehicles

you park under the Platform must fit into this amount of space.
