Bendpak + WCC…what took so long?

A MARRIAGE MADE IN GEARHEAD HEAVEN

At West Coast Choppers, we do everything top notch: from the bikes we build, to the accessories we hand make, to the tools we use around the shop. That’s why we use Bendpak Lifts and equipment. It’s top of the line or we wouldn’t be using it otherwise. We get calls practically every week by people that want us to endorse their product or slap the WCC iron cross on theirs. You’d be surprised at the offers we get. But we’re really selective about who we hook up with as partners. When Bendpak asked if we’d be interested in forming a partnership, it was a no brainer. It just makes sense.

We first ran across these guys back during the filming of Motorcycle Mania, and have always respected their quality products. They had their lifts and products on Monster Garage, and we thought, “hmmmm, this is  some pretty nice stuff. Wonder if anyone will notice if it um….goes missing.” Fast forward to 2009…we cemented a working relationship with them and couldn’t be happier. Our shop is outfitted with their lifts, and just about every premium Bendpak item they make. It’s durable, dependable, and takes the beating we give it every day and keeps coming back for more.

So, if you’re adding components to your shop, check out Bendpak, we guarantee you’ll be more than pleased with their stuff. At West Coast Choppers our philosophy is: If you’re going to do it, do it right, and Bendpack is definitely doing it right!

List and description of BendPak and Ranger products at West Coast Choppers:

XPR-10ACX
Two Post Lifts
Love the asymmetrical genius of the XPR-10AC but need something with a wider drive-thru clearance? Consider the BendPak XPR-10ACX. Our asymmetrical lift line offers exceptional direct-drive performance with an important added benefit. We rotated both posts inward to give you the ability to open a vehicle’s doors while it’s still raised, all without sacrificing drive-thru clearance. This super-industrial-strength piece of equipment has got it all: cutting-edge technology, top of the line materials, design that’s ahead of its time and a 10,000 pound lifting capacity. Fits in shops with ceilings lower than 13′, and it won’t crowd your floor while you work beneath a vehicle.

XPR-10CX
Two Post Lifts
Looking for the exceptional clearfloor convenience of the XPR-10C, but with a wider drive-thru clearance? Then look no further than the XPR-10CX. This super-industrial-strength piece of equipment has got it all: cutting-edge technology, top of the line materials, design that’s ahead of its time and a 10,000 pound lifting capacity. Fits in shops with ceilings lower than 13′, and it won’t crowd your floor while you work beneath a vehicle.

HD-14LSX
Alignment Lifts
The HD-14LSX pulls double duty as both a legendary 14,000-lb. capacity lift and an alignment system. We’ve integrated industrial-strength slip plates and turn plates right into the runways to maximize alignment convenience. Even though the vehicle is completely secure, the wheels respond to your every adjustment with virtually no resistance. Imagine: the raw lifting power of BendPak’s Best combined with a free-floating four-wheel alignment system. Your job just got easier. This model is available with optional drive-thru ramps, dip-trays and rolling jacks.

RJ-7
4-Post Bridge Jacks
7,000-lb. capacity rolling bridge jack is specifically designed for use with your HD-14 4-Post series lift. This optional scissor-style sliding bridge jack offers peerless jacking speed and convenience. The RJ-7 provides you with the ability and added versatility to raise 2 or 4 wheels off the runways, making automotive service such as brake jobs and suspension work a cinch. Their exclusive telescoping roller design allows the runways to be adjusted for different tread widths, so you don’t need an adapter to work on a variety of vehicles. Reaching the factory approved jacking points has never been easier—the precision rollers enable you to position the RJ-7 anywhere beneath the vehicle. Our rolling jacks are designed to be there when you need them and gone when you don’t. Just remove your RJ-7 out of the way when you need the space. Each jack comes complete with three safety-lock positions and stackable pad adapters to provide added clearance when needed. Included commercial-grade air-hydraulic pump requires 125 psi and 10 – 20 CFM.

RES-1TF
Shop Equipment
The RES-1TF 1-ton capacity engine stand is all about functional convenience. When you need it, it’s right there to lend its helping 360° swivel claw. When you’re done, just fold it up and put it in a corner, where it will wait patiently until called upon again. The RES-1TF features a sturdy, wide-base design to prevent tipping under load and the front swivel casters let you position the engine exactly where you need it. The neck is reinforced to eliminate flex while the slotted adjustable saddle permits quick and easy installation. But the most important thing to know about the RES-1TF is that it’s a true team player. Unlike other hulking pieces of shop equipment that constantly make their presence known by getting in your way, this engine stand gets the job done and then gracefully fades into the background of the garage. Make the RES-1TF a part of your team today.

RSC-2TF
Shop Equipment
This heavy-duty hydraulic folding engine hoist with 8-ton capacity ram is perfect for shops that have limited space but still need the pure lifting convenience of a crane.

Quick-release ring pins make setup and teardown a snap. Heavy steel construction ensures maximum durability and the 4-position boom is reinforced, so flex isn’t an issue.

RP-20HD

The heavy-duty RP-20HD delivers up to 40,000 lbs. of pressure to satisfy all your pressing needs.
