I had an online chat with BendPak about the topic this video shows. Putting a Quick Jack an a 4 post lift. I was told no, cant be done. The person I was chatting with I assume did not understand my question or was reading from some script. My Quick Jack is the BL5000 unit so it can only lift 5000 pounds. The 4 post lift I'm looking at is the HD-9 which is a 9000 pound lift. I do not see the problem and this video put out by Quick Jack and demonstrating on a Bend Pak 4 post lift is perfect. Both products have the same parent company.
As in the field of engineering, products are designed with something called a safety factor. A typical number used for this is twice the rating. Or you could calculate a free body diagram and input the length, width, height, and thickness of the runway and use a common steel, then you could calculate the weight where bending will occur. I'm sure BandPak can input the information in CAD and let CAD perform an analysis for this situation. Seeing this video is over 2 years old, I'm surprised there are only 7 comments and that BendPak has not seen this and had it removed. By letting this video exist is kind of saying this is acceptable.
@@quickjackeurope thank you, very helpful. The safety factor is 3X not 2X. Plus that link explains how the Quick jack spreads the weight over a larger surface area. I enjoy facts over opinions. Thank you again.
This is exactly the idea I needed to see. Perfect.

The thing is that the middle of the runway is not designed to hold that kind of capacity.

Thanks for the demo. I knew I should have bought the lighter weight quick jack. :D My 7500 lb. quick jack takes much more muscle.
Dammm.. this guy left the jack so ez…lol
I guess if you didn't buy a two post that would work
I couldn't just grab and muscle up my 7000 EX like that, I guess will need about 2 years of weight lifting training first...
You can use SUV adapters as dumbells and before you know it you carry that 7000EXT like it's a feather!
