BendPak Introduces MAX7 Portable Two-Post Lift

BendPak introduced its MaxJax MAX7 portable two-post lift at the 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas on November 5. The updated model provides 3 inches more lifting height than earlier MaxJax models and is the first in the product line to incorporate BendPak’s Automatic Swing Arm Restraint System (ASARS).

The MAX7 has a maximum lifting height of 50.25 inches and a rated load capacity of 7,000 pounds. Its open design provides access to brakes, suspension, exhaust systems, and other undercarriage components. The lift’s compact profile is intended for use in spaces with low ceilings.

The MAX7 also introduces ASARS, a patent-pending system designed to help prevent unintended swing arm movement during vehicle lifting, lowering, and service. The system uses a 360-degree locking interface and provides 10 times the holding force of traditional swing arm restraint mechanisms, according to BendPak. The lift also has seven safety locking positions and an upgraded lock release.

“Garage space is premium real estate, whether you’re running a busy shop or wrenching at home,” says Sean Price, BendPak director of quality control and product development. “The MAX7 stands out for its versatility. It delivers commercial-grade lifting power for enthusiasts without permanently sacrificing parking space, while enabling professional shops to quickly increase service capacity during peak hours. The MaxJax MAX7 unlocks maximum utility without requiring a permanent footprint.”

The portable two-post lift uses removable columns and a power unit. During operation, the columns are bolted to anchors recessed in the concrete floor. After use, they can be unbolted and rolled away, leaving the floor clear.

BendPak offers four MAX7 packages. The Standard Package includes the lift assembly, power unit with tow-cart, standard anchor bolt kit, round lift pads, and medium adapters. The Deluxe Package adds a rolling work seat and portable oil drain. The Supreme Package includes the Deluxe Package components, along with frame cradle pads and tall adapters. The Ultimate Package replaces the standard rolling work seat in the Supreme Package with a MaxJax Ergonomic Height-Adjustable Creeper Seat.

An optional Motorcycle and ATV Adapter Kit adds powersports service capability.

The MAX7 was introduced at BendPak’s outdoor display in the SEMA Show Silver Lot, Booth #80043. The company also hosted equipment demonstrations at Booth #36129 in the Las Vegas Convention Center’s Upper South Hall. The SEMA Show runs November 3 to 6.
