    Maintenance Logs Introduction This manual describes the P-9000LT and P-9000LTF, which are low-rise, frame-engaging, pit lifts that are designed and engineered for fast-paced auto shop environments, oil-change facilities, and home garages. They can be installed at ground level or recessed (the F in P-9000LTF stands for “Flush Mount”), generally over a service pit.

    • Frames. The combination of the Platforms, the Bases, and the scissor components. Each P-9000LT/F is made up of two Frames, four Ramps (not the P-9000LTF), and one Console. • Hydraulic Cylinders. Push the Platforms up to raise a Vehicle, move the Platforms down to lower a Vehicle.

  • Page 9: Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: The P-9000LTF is “flush mount”, what does that mean? A: It means the Bases of the P-9000LT/F are installed below the surface of the Concrete so that no Ramps are needed. Instead, the tops of the Platforms are flush with the Concrete when the Lift is fully lowered, so Vehicles just drive straight on to the Platforms.

  • Page 13: Installation

    Installation This section describes how to install your P-9000LT/F. Perform the steps in the order listed. ⚠ WARNING Only use the factory-supplied parts that came with your Lift. If you use parts from a different source, you void your warranty and compromise the safety of everyone who installs or uses the Lift.

    Radial Shift. When you raise the Lift, the geometry of the scissor arms moves the Platforms up at an angle, towards the Hinged Ramp end. The amount of radial shift for the P-9000LT/F is approximately 12″(305 mm). Note that radial shift is always the direction towards the Hinged Ramp end of the Lift, no matter which way the Vehicle is facing.
  • Page 15 * If one end is never going to be used to drive on or off the Lift (stationary object etc., impediment), then only ≈3 feet (≈1 meter) is needed to the nearest obstruction on that end. P-9000LTF does not feature Long or Short ramps. Not necessarily to scale. P-9000LT/F Low-Rise Pit Lift P/N 5900022 — Rev. C2 — July 2024...
  • Page 16 Lift is put down into the Concrete Cutout, the top of the Lift’s Platforms are flush with the floor. • To install a Flush-Mount Lift, you must create the Concrete Cutouts in advance, unless you already have Concrete Cutouts of the correct dimensions.

  • Page 17 Regarding the distance between the two Frames: the P-9000LTF Frames can be from 23″to 42″(584 to 1,066 mm) apart. You will need to decide how far apart you want your Frames before you create your Concrete Cutouts. Important: BendPak strongly recommends consulting with your Concrete specialist before creating your Concrete Cutouts. •...
