BendPak announces APEX, a new equipment brand

BendPak has launched APEX by BendPak, a new equipment brand designed for those looking for reliability and support at a lower price point. 

The brand officially launched November 20, with a family of ramps designed to lift vehicles for service or storage and improve vehicle loading onto four-post lifts and trailers. Over the next several months, BendPak plans on rolling out additional APEX products including two-post lifts, tire changers, wheel balancers, adapters, and more. 

Both brands are backed by BendPak's U.S.-based customer service and technical support teams. 

About APEX

APEX garage, trailer, four-post lift, and tire-saver goam ramps are engineered with exclusive features like reinforced contact points, molded-in handles, advanced coatings, and material innovations to deliver superior performance, durability, and safety. 

At the core of every APEX ramp is high-density expanded polystyrene (EPS), a proprietary material engineered for optimal strength-to-weight performance. Its solid-core design supports thousands of pounds while remaining easy to lift and position. Plus, unlike hollow plastic or welded metal, EPS won't dent, rust, or transfer heat. Its closed-cell structure resists water, oil, and automotive chemicals while naturally absorbing shock and vibration. 

Additionally, APEX ramps feature integrated thermoplastic carry handles molded directly into the ramp body. Strategically positioned at each ramp's balance point, they make the ramps easy to lift, carry, and position with just one hand. 

Tire-saver ramps

These ramps are designed to protect tires when a vehicle is being stored and can also provide a boost when servicing low-clearance vehicles. When a vehicle sits for extended periods, its tires can slowl lose their round shape under load, creating flat spots that lead to vibration, noise, and premature wear.

The APEX Tire Saver Ramp System alleviates this concer. Each 24" ramp has a gentle 9-degree approach and a wide, precision-contoured cradle to support tires in their natural shape, distributing vehicle weight evenly to prevent deformation. They can also serve as a helping hand when servicing low-clearance vehicles by providing up to 2.5" of additional clearance to make it easier to position two-post lift arms and adapters, floor jacks, or QuickJack assemblies under the vehicle. 

Garage ramps

Designed for enthusiasts, professionals, and everday drivers. The APEX garage ramps are designed to make it easy to elevate vehicles for maintenance, detailing, or display. Their gradual incline protects splitters and bumpers from scraping, while the non-slip platform stays secure on coated floors or asphalt. Each garage ramp features an integrated tire stopper engineered for safety and control. The raised stopper creates a secure end point to prevent roll-offs during brake release or minor shifts. 

Trailer ramps

For low-profile vehicles that demand precise loading, APEX trailer ramps create a more gradual approach angle when used with standard car trailers. This prevents scraping and ensures a smooth transition onto the trailer deck. Engineered for long service life, APEX trailer ramps feature a reinforced UHMW insert embedded into the shelf area for added strength and durability. This reinforcement prevents compression and degradation at the contact point where the ramps rest, for years of consisten performance. 

Four-post lift ramps

These lift ramps are lightweight, built for highperformance with an ergonomic foam alternative to heavy steel four-post-lift ramps. Designed to itnegrate seamlessly with BendPak-style four-post lifts, they deliver smooth, stable vehicle loading while eliminating the flex, separation, and premature wear common in other foam ramps. Their innovative hook design locks securely onto the lift runways for consistent alignment and security while maintaining a gentle approach angle for low-clearance vehicles. Unlike ramps that rely on glued metal plates, APEX four-post lift ramps are engineered for true mechanical strength. A precision-formed S-shaped insert anchors deep within the foam core, distributing load forces through the entire ramp rather than just a surface joint.

A word from BendPak

“The shop equipment market is noisy and value-conscious right now,” explains Tyler Rex, BendPak senior director of marketing. “So, we are making it easier for our customers to get what they need by providing two clear brand choices. Choose BendPak when you want premium commercial equipment built with advanced features to perform in the toughest shop environments for high duty cycles. Choose APEX when you want BendPak fundamentals at a price that protects your budget. In both cases, you get equipment that we would put in our own shops or garages.”
