I ordered a XPS-10AS and it arrived at the truck terminal promptly. Ordering and the initial arrive of the lift was within a week, very prompt. The quality of the lift appears to be good, I have no concerns with safety of the lift up to their rating of 10,000lbs. The instructions were to understand. The main problem is the drawings, they are obscure and give perspectives that have cutaways that are not mentioned. No mention of how to bleed the system or much information on the hydraulic pump. This was only a small problem, though. The Huge problem I have and the reason they only get two stars is support. Bendpak's support is some of the worst I have dealt with from a company. When we finished installing my lift we found that the hydraulic pump motor was only buzzing, would blow a 30 amp breaker and started smoking before it blew the breaker. Getting Bendpak support to respond is ridiculous. There appears to be no incentive for support representatives to do the right thing, they seemed bored and uninterested in helping me out. The problem with my pump unit is the stator in the motor is not perfectly round and during a 30 degree rotation of the rotor, the rotor contacts the stator causing the motor to stall. Poor quality control, all they had to do to test the motor was spin it by hand before installing it on the pump. It took Bendpak support 10 minutes to confirm the motor is bad and agree I needed a new pump unit sent. It then took them 4 days to get the "order" sent out and I have yet to receive a tracking number for the new pump unit. These units are available all over Amazon for $300.
