The BendPak 5174016 lift arm pad is the direct replacement for the BendPak lift it came off of. This is the genuine BendPak part — same fit and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the BendPak lift arm pad from us gets you the OEM piece that matches the lift, not an aftermarket knock-off that is close but not the same.

Specifications

• Part number: 5174016
• Brand: BendPak
• Type: Genuine OEM lift arm pad

Structural parts fit by geometry and rating, and both matter. A pad has to match the arm's cup or bolt pattern; an adapter has to reach the right height and clear the rocker; a carriage and its hardware are specific to the column they ride. A part that's close but not right sits proud, loads a corner, or won't seat flat — and on a component that carries the vehicle, "close enough" isn't a spec worth trusting.

Replacing your lift arm pad

Carriage or arm work is heavier structural repair — pins, retainers, slide blocks, and load-bearing welds all have to go back sound and correctly torqued. Photograph the assembly before you take it apart, and confirm nothing rocks or has play when it's back together. Since this is the steel carrying the vehicle, the full walkthrough is worth following start to finish. Full step-by-step: how to replace car lift arm pads.

Find the right part for your lift

Not certain this is the exact part your lift needs? Start with your lift's model and serial off the data plate, then open our parts lookup to see the visual parts breakdown for your model — the exploded drawing with every part numbered and priced. If your plate is missing or unreadable, our guide to finding your model number walks through where to find it, or send us a photo and we will identify the lift for you.

Signs this part is worn out

For ramps and approach parts, look for bends, cracks, and worn hinge points. A ramp that's bent won't sit flush and can kick out when a car drives up; a cracked hinge or worn pivot lets it shift. Check that stops and retainers are present and that the ramp locks where it should. A ramp is load-bearing at the moment of drive-on, so bends and cracks there matter.

Parts commonly replaced at the same time

The parts near this one share its job and its wear — pads, adapters, swivel pins, retaining hardware. Doing them together restores an even, secure grip on the vehicle and saves reopening the job later. Give us your model and serial and we will match the complete set.

Safety notes

A lift's contact and locating parts do quiet, critical work — holding a vehicle exactly where it belongs. Crushed pads, bent lips, and elongated holes all erode that hold. Replace worn structural parts promptly, torque mounting hardware to spec, and never load a lift onto a contact point you can see is compromised.

Before you order

Order structural parts by model and serial and in the right quantity — a single fresh pad among three flat ones does not help much. Match the part's shape and mount to the original, and add the mounting hardware if it is worn. We will confirm the correct version for your lift.

Check your lift's serial before ordering

The most common reason a lift part comes back is not a defect — it is a revision mismatch. Manufacturers change sub-parts between production runs while keeping the same lift model name, so "it fits my lift model" is not always enough. The model plate carries the serial number that pins your lift to a specific run, and that is the number that settles which version of this part belongs on your lift.

Can't find the plate? Measure the old part — overall length, bolt-hole spacing, thread size on anything threaded — and photograph it from a couple of angles. Send that with your lift's brand and rough age and we will match it against the parts breakdowns we service from every week.
