Product Overview

BendPak MDS-6LPF ALI Open Center Mid-Rise Scissor Flush Mount Lift 6,000 lb

Supersedes MDS-6KF

The BendPak MDS-6LPF is a professional-grade 6,000 lb capacity ALI-certified mid-rise scissor lift designed for flush-mount, in-ground installation. Perfect for lube shops, full-service bays, and home garage environments seeking a zero-footprint lift solution, the MDS-6LPF collapses completely flush with your shop floor when lowered. When raised, it delivers an impressive 44" of lift height (46" with optional blocks), providing outstanding undercar access without sacrificing valuable bay space. Built with four solid steel-scissor frame support bars, this lift is engineered for durability, reliability, and superior lifting performance in the most demanding automotive service environments.

Flush-Mount Design for Maximum Shop Floor Space

If you're looking to flush-mount your lift in the floor for a smooth sub-surface installation, the MDS-6LPF is your ideal solution. It shares all the same robust features and engineering excellence as the surface-mount MDS-6LP, but is specifically designed to collapse perfectly parallel with your flooring for a completely flush, zero-footprint finish when not in use. This makes it an exceptional choice for shops that demand a clean, professional appearance with no trip hazards or obstructions when the lift is lowered.

Stronger lift from a collapsed position: A pneumatic "kick" system powers the lift up from the collapsed height, which for a flush-mount means it goes from zero-footprint to full rise in about 45 seconds. This extra boost ensures a more even lift in the early inches of travel, and the hydraulics take over from there for smooth, controlled ascent throughout the entire lifting range.

Powerful, Reliable Hydraulic Lifting System

Four hydraulic cylinders: We put enough power in this scissor lift to ensure it handles that 6,000 lb. load without a hitch. The MDS-6LPF features a dual master hydraulic cylinder that combines with dual equalizing cylinders to provide a safe and level lifting capacity across both platforms. Fluid traveling to all four cylinders goes through a flow divider to ensure equal pressure at all times. The platforms are always going to rise and descend simultaneously every inch of the way, eliminating any risk of uneven lifting or vehicle instability.

Powered by a reliable 208-230 VAC / 60 Hz / 1 Ph motor, the lift achieves full rise in just 35 seconds, maximizing bay efficiency and minimizing customer wait times. The hydraulic system is designed for long-term durability and consistent performance, even under heavy daily use.

Advanced Safety Features and Multiple Work Heights

Solid-steel safety lock bars: With three locking positions to choose from ( 21", 32", and 38.75", plus full rise at 44" ), the MDS-6LPF offers incredible work height versatility. The solid-steel safety lock bars engage automatically during ascent, providing fail-safe mechanical redundancy at every locking height. If you've got a pit, the mid-rise design becomes a full-height service lift, further expanding its utility in your shop.

Convenient stainless-steel pneumatic cylinders: Instead of spring releases, which tend to wear over time, our flush-mount design features air cylinders pressurized to 50 psi, 10-CFM. These stainless-steel pneumatic cylinders simultaneously release safety locks during descent with a simple push of a button. A simple hand pump or air compressor will have the cylinders ready to go in seconds. (NOTE: Requires min. 50 psi, 10-CFM air source at time of installation.)

Push-button safety lock release system: The push of a button releases all locks simultaneously and quickly lowers the scissor lift platforms down to their flush-mounted starting position. This safety lock release system is operated away from the lift, allowing operators to safely deactivate the locks without the need to push or pull cumbersome release bars or lock release handles. It's a safer, more ergonomic solution that increases productivity and reduces strain on technicians.

Built for Durability and Easy Maintenance

Hinge-point features Zerk grease fittings: Each hinge point features a Zerk grease fitting to allow lubrication at critical wear areas. Zerk grease fittings are long-lasting, self-lubricating, and simple to maintain. They'll virtually last forever with minimal care, ensuring smooth operation and extending the service life of your lift.

Durable, cushioned rubber contact blocks: The MDS-6LPF comes standard with four durable cushioned-rubber contact blocks, permitting fast vehicle setup. These are not small, dinky pads—these rugged lifting tools will protect your vehicles' frames and are guaranteed not to slip when properly placed during lifting procedures. The lift platform and contact blocks allow lifting of most unibody and frame contact undercarriages at recommended manufacturer pick-up points on most vehicles.

The powder coat finish provides a long lasting, durable finish that stands up to daily shop wear, chemicals, and abrasion. Each lift platform features four solid steel-scissor frame support bars, making the MDS-6LPF one of the strongest mid-rise lifts in its class.

Important Note: The lift platform and contact blocks allow lifting of most unibody and frame contact undercarriages at recommended manufacturer pick-up points on most vehicles. Be sure to compare your vehicle specifications, including ground clearance and overall height, with the specifications shown before you purchase.
