The BendPak 5180136 air compressor 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 air compressor from us gets you the OEM piece that matches the lift, not an aftermarket knock-off that is close but not the same.

• Brand: BendPak

Not every part on a lift lifts — a lot of them support the ones that do. Airlines feed the lock releases, decals mark capacities and controls, hardware holds the assembly together, and the manual carries the specs and the procedure. They're easy to overlook precisely because they're not the cylinder or the cables, but a lift missing its safety decals, its air supply, or the right fastener isn't a complete, safe lift.

Replacing your air compressor

Applying new decals is simple but not trivial: the surface has to be clean and dry, and the capacity and safety labels have to go in their correct, visible locations so an operator can read them at a glance. Take your time positioning them. The full procedure covers placement and prep. Not sure on the procedure? Find your lift in our parts lookup or call and we will walk you through it.

Find the right part for your lift

The surest way to get the right part is to work from your lift's own breakdown. open our parts lookup, choose your model, and every part is mapped on the drawing with its number and price. If you cannot find the model plate, our guide to finding your model number explains where each lift type hides it, and our phone line is open if you want a hand.

Signs it's time to replace it

For hardware, check tightness, grade, and corrosion. Go around the fasteners and confirm nothing has backed out, stripped, or gone missing, especially on load-bearing and anchor points. Look for the right grade markings on structural bolts and for rust that has weakened a fastener. A bolt you can turn by hand, a stripped thread, or a missing lock feature is a defect — retorque or replace before it works fully loose.

Parts commonly replaced at the same time

While you are ordering, let us check what commonly goes with it on your lift. Bundling the related parts into one shipment saves freight and time, and we can see the full breakdown for your model to make sure nothing obvious is missed. Just give us the model and serial.

Safety notes

Fit the right part and follow the manual — that holds even for the minor components. Required safety and instruction decals must stay legible for ALI compliance, and any accessory in the load path has to be rated for the job. When in doubt about what your model takes, ask before you order.

Before you order

Order by model and serial so we can match the correct version, and let us know the application. For decals and accessories especially, using the item specified for your lift keeps it compliant and safe. We will confirm the fit before it leaves the shelf.

Confirm this is the right part before you order

Lift manufacturers revise parts mid-production without changing the model name, so the same lift bought two years apart can take two different revisions of the same component. Before you order, find the model plate on the lift — on most 2-post lifts it rides on one of the columns at eye level, on 4-post lifts it is usually on a column or the power-unit side runway — and note the full model number and serial. The serial dates the lift to a production run, and that is what decides which revision fits.

If the plate is painted over or missing, take a photo of the part you are replacing next to a tape measure and send it to us. Between the dimensions, the mounting pattern, and what lift it came off of, we can almost always identify the exact part before you spend money on the wrong one.
