BendPak MDS-6LP Mid-Rise Open-Center Lift
The BendPak MDS-6LP is a high-performance mid-rise open-center scissor lift, designed for superior accessibility and efficiency. With a 6,000 lb. lifting capacity, longer platforms, and an extended lift point spread, this lift provides a secure and stable lifting experience for a wide variety of vehicle types, including those with longer wheelbases.
