BendPak used its SEMA booth to spotlight its shop equipment, with product development director Sean Price outlining the updates.
The centerpiece was a prototype eight-arm Octa-Flex two-post lift equipped with eight arms. It features 12,000-lb. primary arms paired with 6,000-lb. auxiliary arms and is engineered to support cab-off work, subframe removal and EV battery service. Price said the expanded arm configuration gives technicians more stability and flexibility when removing components from beneath a vehicle.
The company also introduced a leverless de-beader kit for its tilt-back tire changers. The add-on replaces traditional tire irons with a powered mechanism that automatically grabs and lifts the bead. Customers can add it to existing BendPak tilt-back changers or order it on new machines.
BendPak’s wheel balancer updates centered on protecting modern wheel finishes. New flange plates clamp wheels using lug-nut pressure points rather than contacting the face, reducing the risk of scratching polished or powder-coated surfaces. The plates work with both current and previously sold BendPak balancers.
