THE BUYING DECISION IN 30 SECONDS

Good fit if…
- You want to park a pickup, full-size SUV or van underneath a stored car, and a standard 70-inch rise would not clear it. The HD-9XW lifts its runways 82 inches.
- Your ceiling, measured at the lowest beam, light or door track over the bay, clears 87 inches of deck height plus the height of the vehicle on top, with margin.
- The bay takes 110.25 inches of width and 224.5 inches of overall length, and the vehicles you lift have a wheelbase near 135 inches if you want the full 9,000 lb rating.
- You have a 110 V circuit for the Amazon power unit, shop air for the push-button pneumatic lock release, and a forklift for delivery day.
- You may later add BendPak's optional drip trays, solid decks or RJ-45 rolling bridge jacks to turn storage into service.
Avoid if…
- Your ceiling only clears a standard-height four-post. The standard BendPak HD-9 checklist covers that lift, which needs 12 inches less column height and about 24 inches less length.
- You mostly need wheels-off brake, tire or suspension work. That is a two-post job; see our two-post car lift guide.
- Your heaviest vehicle has a short wheelbase. Below 135 inches the HD-9XW rating drops: 75% at 115 inches, 50% at 95, 25% at 80.
- You planned around 220 V figures. The Amazon unit is the 110 V model; BendPak's 2 HP, 208–230 V specification belongs to SKU 5175863.
- No forklift can reach the delivery truck. Retail listings for model 5175665 state that a forklift and operator are required to unload the lift.
What you are actually buying
This page covers the BendPak HD-9XW, the standard-width, extra-tall member of the HD-9 four-post family, sold on Amazon ASIN B0DDQH2QNY as “HD-9XW Standard Width Extra Tall Car Lift – 4 Post 9000lb Capacity (110V)”, item model number 5175665. Home Depot and Lowe's list the same 5175665 number as the HD-9XW with a 110 V power unit.
BendPak's own HD-9XW product page describes SKU 5175863: the same lift with a 2 HP power unit at 208–230 V / 60 Hz / 1-phase. The mechanical figures on that page (rise, columns, runways, wheelbase limits, shipping weight) describe the lift structure we use below. The motor figures do not carry over to the 110 V unit, and we do not assign them.
BendPak lists the build as freestanding, electric-hydraulic, with a single hydraulic cylinder under one runway, fully enclosed cables, locks and sheaves, internal anti-sway slider blocks in each column, 3/8-inch aircraft cable, multi-position locks, independent backup slack-cable latches, removable approach ramps and a push-button pneumatic safety release.
Buyer Checkpoint has not installed or operated this lift. Every figure comes from BendPak's HD-9XW page and family sales sheet, retail listings for model 5175665, and the dated Amazon page.
Ceiling math for an extra tall 4 post lift
The short answer: add the HD-9XW's 87-inch maximum lifting height to the height of the vehicle you park on top, then add your own safety margin. If the total does not clear the lowest point of your ceiling, the extra rise is unusable.
BendPak's HD-9XW page lists a 5-inch minimum runway height, 82 inches of maximum rise and 87 inches of maximum lifting height, with columns 100.25 inches tall. The family sales sheet for SKU 5175863 prints 4.5, 82 and 86.5 inches and 100-inch columns. Plan with the larger figures.
Worked examples, using only that 87-inch deck height: a 55-inch-tall coupe on top reaches about 142 inches (11 ft 10 in); a 70-inch-tall SUV on top reaches about 157 inches (13 ft 1 in). Garage door tracks, openers and light fixtures often set the limit, not the drywall. Measure under each of them.
The vehicle underneath must clear the underside of the raised runways and the cross-beams, which sit below the 87-inch deck top by the runway thickness. BendPak does not print that clearance on the product page, so measure the roof height of the lower vehicle and compare it against the installation drawing before you buy.
Buyer Checkpoint Fit score
Fit 89/100 for a home garage or small shop with a tall ceiling that wants to park a taller vehicle under a stored one, or service on the runways, and can provide 110 V, shop air for the locks and a forklift at delivery. This score is not raised to fill a publishing slot.
Method: Buyer Checkpoint Fit score for the target buyer profile on the 30/25/20/15/10 framework (Use-case & safety / Documented capability / Integration / Ownership / Supporting evidence). It is an editorial score built from documents, not a laboratory or hands-on test. A hard stop for that profile overrides the total. Other profiles are described under “Avoid if…” without a second numeric score. See the public scoring method.
| Checkpoint | Points | Why this score |
|---|---|---|
| Use-case & safety | 29 / 30 | An 82-inch rise for parking a truck or SUV under a stored car is the exact job BendPak describes for the HD-9XW. Points stay off 30 because ceiling, slab, anchoring and lock-air requirements are the buyer's to verify, and a wrong ceiling measurement makes the lift unusable. |
| Documented capability | 23 / 25 | BendPak publishes rise, columns, footprint, runways and wheelbase limits. The product page and the family sales sheet differ on several figures, and the 110 V unit's rise time and motor rating are not published, which holds this row at 23. |
| Integration | 18 / 20 | A 110 V power unit is easier to supply than a 220 V circuit, and the lift is freestanding. A pneumatic lock release still needs shop air, and the 224.5-inch length and 100-inch columns exclude many standard garages. |
| Ownership | 11 / 15 | The dated Amazon offer was sold and shipped by BendPak inc. The Home Depot field for model 5175665 reads a 1-year manufacturer warranty, and BendPak's own split for this SKU was not extracted, so this row is capped at 11. |
| Supporting evidence | 8 / 10 | A November 10, 2026 recheck at delivery ZIP 10001 showed the HD-9XW 110 V title and Add to Cart visible; item model number 5175665 was read on November 9, 2026. Evidence stays at 8: no Amazon rating widget, conflicting spec columns and no hands-on test. |
Total: 29 + 23 + 18 + 11 + 8 = 89. A ceiling that does not clear 87 inches plus your top vehicle, a bay shorter than 224.5 inches, no forklift at delivery, or a listing that no longer shows the 110 V model 5175665 is a hard stop for this profile and overrides the 89.
Buying facts that change the decision
Each row pairs a sourced figure with the decision it changes.
| Checkpoint | What the documents say | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | Amazon: HD-9XW, 110 V, model 5175665. BendPak.com page: SKU 5175863, 208–230 V. | Same lift structure, different power unit. Match the model on the live page. |
| Capacity | 9,000 lb. | Full rating only with a wheelbase of 135 inches or more (see below). |
| Rise | 5 in minimum runway height, 82 in maximum rise, 87 in maximum lifting height (BendPak page). Sales sheet: 4.5 / 82 / 86.5 in. | Use 87 in for ceiling math. |
| Columns | 100.25 in (page) or 100 in (sales sheet). | The columns alone need more than 8 ft 4 in of clear height. |
| Footprint | 110.25 in wide, 198 in outside length, 224.5 in overall length (page); 100.25 in between columns; 86.5 in drive-thru clearance. | Overall length runs 26.5 in past the outside length; check it against the garage door closing. |
| Runways | 19 in wide; 182.25 in long and 35–41 in apart (page), 188 in and 37.5–44.375 in on the sales sheet. | Check the narrowest and widest track width you will park. |
| Locks | Multi-position locks every 4 in; push-button pneumatic safety release; backup slack-cable latches. | Plan a shop-air line to the lock release, not only a power outlet. |
| Power | Amazon and retail listings: 110 V power unit. BendPak page (SKU 5175863): 2 HP, 208–230 V, 1-phase. | 110 V rise time and amperage are not published; read the nameplate and manual. |
| Shipping | 22 × 192 × 32 in, 1,778 lb (BendPak). Amazon shows 191 × 22 × 28 in and 5 lb. | The Amazon weight field is wrong. Plan for a 16-ft crate and a forklift. |
| Warranty | Home Depot field for model 5175665: 1 year. BendPak's own split for this SKU was not extracted. | Read the warranty card before relying on a longer figure. |
| Certification | Lowe's copy for 5175665 states ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2011 certification; BendPak says not every model is ALI certified. | Check the model in the ALI directory at autolift.org before you rely on it. |
The 135-inch wheelbase rule for full capacity
The short answer: BendPak gives the HD-9XW its full 9,000-lb rating only for vehicles with a wheelbase of at least 135 inches, against 115 inches on the standard HD-9. A shorter car on the same lift gets a reduced rating.
BendPak publishes the derate on both the HD-9XW page and the family sales sheet. The figures below are BendPak's percentages applied to the 9,000-lb rating; the HD-9 column comes from the same sales sheet.
| Capacity | HD-9XW minimum wheelbase | Standard HD-9 minimum wheelbase |
|---|---|---|
| 9,000 lb (100%) | 135 in | 115 in |
| 6,750 lb (75%) | 115 in | 100 in |
| 4,500 lb (50%) | 95 in | 85 in |
| 2,250 lb (25%) | 80 in | 70 in |
In practice: look up the wheelbase in the owner's manual or the maker's spec sheet for the heaviest vehicle you will lift, take its curb weight, and confirm it stays within the derated figure. If your heavy vehicle is short, the standard HD-9 rates it better.
What the XW changes compared with the standard HD-9
The short answer: the XW buys 12 more inches of rise and longer runways, and pays for them with 12 more inches of column height, about 24 more inches of length, a longer wheelbase for full capacity and a heavier crate.
| Checkpoint | HD-9XW | Standard HD-9 |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum rise | 82 in | 70 in |
| Maximum lifting height | 87 in (page) / 86.5 in (sheet) | 75 in (our HD-9 checklist) / 74.5 in (sheet) |
| Column height | 100–100.25 in | 88 in |
| Overall length | 224–224.5 in | 200.5 in (our HD-9 checklist) / 200 in (sheet) |
| Runway length | 182.25–188 in | about 158.25 in (our HD-9 checklist) / 164 in (sheet) |
| Wheelbase for full 9,000 lb | 135 in | 115 in |
| Shipping weight | 1,778 lb | 1,616 lb (BendPak, as cited on our HD-9 page) |
If your garage fits the standard HD-9 but not these numbers, our BendPak HD-9 checklist covers that lift, its 110 V Amazon model and its freight plan. This page only covers the extra-tall decision.
110 V Amazon unit vs the 220 V BendPak page
The short answer: the Amazon HD-9XW is wired for a 110 V outlet, while every motor figure on BendPak's HD-9XW page (2 HP, 208–230 V, and the sales sheet's 50-second full rise) belongs to the 220 V SKU 5175863.
Retail listings for model 5175665 say “wired for use with 110V outlet” and “110V power unit included.” Neither BendPak nor the retailers publish the 110 V unit's horsepower, amperage or rise time on the pages we read. Size the circuit from the motor nameplate and the installation manual once you know which power unit shipped, and expect the rise time to differ from the 220 V literature.
The lock release is pneumatic. BendPak's page lists a push-button pneumatic safety release, so a compressor and an air line to the power side are part of the installation, alongside the outlet.
How to confirm the live listing without trusting a dated note
Open ASIN B0DDQH2QNY and check that the title still reads HD-9XW with (110V) and that the item model number is 5175665. If the page shows 5175863, a 220 V power unit or a different HD-9 model, this checklist’s power notes no longer apply.
Then confirm the seller, the freight method and the return terms. A November 10, 2026 recheck at delivery ZIP 10001 showed BendPak inc as shipper and seller, an in-stock featured offer and Add to Cart visible. That check is not a promise that the same seller, stock or price will be there when you buy. Adding the lift to your cart does not reserve it and does not lock a price.
BendPak HD-9XW verdict in brief
Each line below stands on its own and names its source date. None of it comes from a hands-on test.
- The BendPak HD-9XW is an extra tall 4 post lift for parking a truck or SUV under a stored car, because BendPak's HD-9XW page and HD-9 family sales sheet (checked November 9, 2026) list an 82-inch rise against 70 inches on the standard HD-9.
- Ceiling planning for the BendPak HD-9XW starts at 87 inches of deck height plus the vehicle on top, per BendPak's HD-9XW page checked November 9, 2026.
- The BendPak HD-9XW carries its full 9,000-lb rating only for wheelbases of 135 inches or more, dropping to 75% at 115 inches, per BendPak's published derate checked November 9, 2026.
- The Amazon BendPak HD-9XW is the 110 V model 5175665; BendPak's 2 HP, 208-230 V figures belong to SKU 5175863 and should not be assigned to it (documents checked November 9, 2026).
- The BendPak HD-9XW ships as a 1,778-lb crate about 192 inches long, and retail listings for model 5175665 require a forklift and operator at delivery (checked November 9, 2026).
- On November 10, 2026, Amazon ASIN B0DDQH2QNY showed the HD-9XW 110 V title, BendPak inc as seller and Add to Cart visible at delivery ZIP 10001; the item model number 5175665 was read on November 9, 2026.

FAQ
How tall does the BendPak HD-9XW lift?
BendPak's HD-9XW page lists an 82-inch maximum rise from a 5-inch minimum runway height, for an 87-inch maximum lifting height, with columns 100.25 inches tall. The family sales sheet prints 86.5 inches and 100-inch columns. Use 87 inches for ceiling planning.
What ceiling height do I need for an extra tall 4 post lift like the HD-9XW?
Add 87 inches of deck height to the height of the vehicle you park on top, then add a safety margin. A 70-inch-tall SUV on top reaches about 157 inches, or 13 ft 1 in. Measure at the lowest door track, opener or light, not at the highest point of the ceiling.
Is the Amazon BendPak HD-9XW 110 V?
Yes. The Amazon title reads 110V and the item model number is 5175665, which Home Depot and Lowe's also list as the HD-9XW with a 110 V power unit. BendPak's own HD-9XW page describes SKU 5175863 with a 2 HP, 208-230 V unit, so do not assume its motor figures or rise time for the 110 V model.
Can the HD-9XW lift 9,000 lb on any vehicle?
No. BendPak lists the full 9,000-lb rating for a wheelbase of at least 135 inches, 75% at 115 inches, 50% at 95 inches and 25% at 80 inches. The standard HD-9 reaches full capacity at 115 inches.
How is the HD-9XW different from the standard HD-9?
The HD-9XW adds 12 inches of rise (82 vs 70 inches), 12 inches of column height and longer runways, and its overall length grows to about 224.5 inches. It needs a 135-inch wheelbase for full capacity and ships as a 1,778-lb crate.
Do I need a forklift and shop air for the HD-9XW?
Retail listings for model 5175665 state that a forklift and operator are required to unload the lift, and BendPak lists a 22 x 192 x 32 inch, 1,778-lb shipment. The safety locks use a push-button pneumatic release, so plan a compressed-air line as well as the 110 V outlet.
