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.

•PL-6KDT-S: Parking Lift with two independent Platforms. Comes with seismic base plates;

special order only.

•PL-6KDTX-S:

extra wide

Parking Lift with two independent Platforms. Comes with seismic base

plates; special order only.

•PL-6KT-S: Parking Lift with three independent Platforms. Comes with seismic base plates;

special order only.

All models are similar, so if no distinction is made, then the information applies to all models. If

information applies to only one model, that distinction is mentioned in text. Seismic models are not

mentioned specifically in text unless they are different from the standard models, other than the base

plates. So if you see “PL-6KDT” in text, it means “PL-6KDT and PL-6KDT-S”, and so on.

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.

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.

If you are having issues, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this Manual for assistance.

Technical support and service is available from your dealer, on the Web at bendpak.com/support,

by email at techsupport@bendpak.com, or by phone at (800) 253-2363, extension 196.

You may also contact BendPak for parts replacement information (please have the model and serial

number of your unit available) at (800) 253-2363, extension 191.

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) per Platform.

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

A: 30 to 45 seconds, approximately.

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: Yes, but the Lift is designed for indoor installation, so there are some additional things you will need

to do. Cover the Power Unit (

required

), put a canopy over the Lift, keep it clean and dry, and

increase maintenance. Contact BendPak Customer Service (web bendpak.com/support, email

techsupport@bendpak.com, phone (800) 253-2363) 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; it is not designed to be used this way.

Q: How high does my garage ceiling have to be to support 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 Lift works great either way.

Q: How are the seismic models different from the regular models?

A: They come with different, sturdier base plates and Threaded Rods with Epoxy instead of Anchor

Bolts. These differences give the seismic models enhanced stability in the event of an earthquake and

in high-vibration environments.

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. Once a Safety Lock is engaged, gravity holds it in position, so a loss of power

does not impact it. Your Vehicle is going to stay where you left it. Remember to

always leave

Platforms either on the ground or engaged on their Safety Locks

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

A: Two available, one is selected during installation. You are not restricted to just two Platform heights,

however. There are adjustments that can be done during installation to get you the exact space you

want under each Platform. See Safety Lock Positions for more information.

PL-6K Series of Parking Lifts 8P/N 5900056 — Rev. C2 — June 2019

Will My Car Fit?

Your Lift accommodates a wide variety of cars, light trucks, and SUVs.

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 Vehicle doors makes the Vehicle wider while they are open. Generally you

want to avoid opening the doors of multiple Vehicles 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 inches (6 inches for the height of the Platform plus 3 inches to

get off the Safety Lock) + height of Safety Lock position of Platform

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

Tip To find the “height of Safety Lock position of Platform”, 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 close

to, but not the same as, Maximum Rise.

Remember that the height of a Safety Lock position can be adjusted down during installation to a

range of heights, to suit your specific needs. See Safety Lock Positions for more information.

PL-6K Series of Parking Lifts 9P/N 5900056 — Rev. C2 — June 2019

Safety Lock Positions

Each Platform can be set to a High or Low Safety Lock position. Each Platform is set independently of

the other Platform(s) on the Lift.

The two settings are:

•High setting: Moves the Platform higher, leaving

more room under

the Platform (and thus

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

choice for parking higher-profile Vehicles underneath the Platform; SUVs, large trucks, or other

high-profile Vehicles.

The High setting leaves approximately 87" (2,210 mm) of height under the Platform, thus allowing

Vehicles up to 86" (2,184 mm) high to park under the Platform.

•Low setting: Keeps the Platform lower, leaving

less room under

the Platform (and thus more

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

for parking lower-profile Vehicles underneath; passenger vehicles or small trucks, for example.

The Low setting leaves approximately 70" (1,778 mm) of height under the Platform, thus allowing

Vehicles up to 69" (1,753 mm) high to park under the Platform.

It is possible to

adjust down

the High and Low settings up to 20" (508 mm) by manipulating the

cables that hold the Platforms.

Being able to adjust down from the default High and Low settings gives you a

range

for each:

87" to 67" for the High setting range, 70" to 50" for the Low setting range.

The High or Low settings, and their ranges, is set during installation, so you need to

make your

height decisions before installation begins

Important: Installers, Lift owners need to make the height decisions before installation begins.

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

Crossbeam(s). The method for adjusting the cabling to get the High and Low ranges is found in

Assemble the Platform Structures.

Important: Do not make your height calculations too precise;

cable stretch

can impact them.
