Lifts, raised Vehicles, and Rolling Bridge Jacks. Q: Are the bases of my Rolling Bridge Jack extendable? A: If it is an RBJ15000, then Yes. The bases for the RBJ18000 and the RBJ25000, however, are extendable.
Specifications are subject to change without notice. About Vehicle Wheelbases Lift A BendPak four-post supports less weight than its rated capacity when the wheelbase of the Vehicle on the Lift is shorter. This is because the wheels of these shorter wheelbase Vehicles are closer to the middle of the Runways, where there is less strength.
Do not set up or use a Rolling Bridge Jack if the Lift is not the model for which the WARNING Rolling Bridge Jack was designed or the Lift was improperly installed. Instead, contact the manufacturer of the Lift or BendPak Customer Service at (800) 253- 2363 for instructions. •...

• You can only use the Rolling Bridge Jack in certain locations on the Lift. This is because the strength of the Lift is less in the middle, so raising a Vehicle in the middle could permanently damage the Lift’s Runways. In the vast majority of cases, this unusable area in the middle of the Lift will not impact your use of your Rolling Bridge Jacks, as the length of the wheelbases of the Vehicles you are raising will put the Rolling Bridge Jacks in the usable area.

must • The Lift Runways be parallel. Make sure the Lift Runways were installed parallel to each other. The distance between the Lift Runways must be equal along the entire length of the Lift. must In the following drawing, the distance between the Runways at Points A, B, and C be the same.

• Orient the Air-Operated Hydraulic Pump correctly. You need to orient each Rolling Bridge Jack such that the Air-Operated Hydraulic Pump is facing the Lift’s Crosstube, the outside of the Lift. This makes it easier to route the integrated air lines and access the pump. When using two Rolling Bridge Jacks on a Lift, orient both pumps towards the outside of the Lift.

Measure the distance between the two Runways to make sure they are ~47 inches / ~1,199 mm apart. 3. If you are installing an RBJ15000, set the Lift’s Runways to the desired distance apart, from ~45.75 inches / 1,163 mm to ~58.5 inches / 1,489 mm.

Setting Up the Air-Operated Hydraulic Pump Your Rolling Bridge Jack comes with an Air-Operated Hydraulic Pump, which provides air pressure so you can raise and lower the Jack. It is your responsibility to supply air pressure to the Pump The Air-Operated Hydraulic Pump comes from the factory with Hydraulic Fluid. You do not need to add any at this point, unless the Hydraulic Fluid has leaked out.
Page 17
Preparing for Operation To prepare the Rolling Bridge Jack for normal operation, you need to: • Check the fluid reservoir on the Air-Operated Hydraulic Pump; it should come full from the factory, but occasionally the fluid can leak. • Perform an operational test to make sure the Jack is working normally. The fluid reservoir of your Rolling Bridge Jack was filled at the factory.
