The BendPak 5335540 replacement part 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 replacement part 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: 5335540
- Brand: BendPak
- Type: Genuine OEM replacement part
We are not a catalog that happens to list lift parts — our field techs install, inspect, and repair automotive lifts every week, and the parts on this site are the ones that come off our own service trucks. That changes what you get with the order. When you are not sure this is the right part, you can send a photo of your lift’s data tag and the failed part and get an answer from someone who has had that exact assembly apart. And when you hit something mid-job that the manual does not cover, the phone gets answered by people who have been under the same lift with the same wrench.
Ordering the right revision
Before this goes in the cart, grab two things off your lift: the model number and the serial number, both on the manufacturer's plate. The serial matters more than most people expect — lift makers revise components between production runs without renaming the lift, and the run your serial falls in determines which revision of this part is correct.
If you are working from a failed part rather than a plate, measure what you have and photograph how it mounts. Send that to us along with the lift brand, and we will check it against the same parts breakdowns our own techs use in the field before you commit to the order.
The habit our techs are trained into applies here: when you finish a repair, run the lift through full cycles — all the way up, onto the locks, all the way down — and watch and listen the whole way. Leaks, rubbing, scraping, and locks that engage late all show themselves in the first three cycles if you are paying attention, which is a much better time to find them than under the next customer vehicle.
If you get into the job and find more wrong than you expected, stop and reassess rather than improvising a way through — call us if you want a second opinion. Half-finished lift repairs are more dangerous than the original failure, because now the lift looks fixed.

About this bendpak 5335540 thermostat
Sourcing the correct bendpak 5335540 thermostat is not the spot a shop wants to gamble. This piece sits inside a load path the lift manufacturer engineered to specific tolerances, and a substitute that looks close but is off by even a small margin can transfer load onto a neighboring component that was not designed for it. We stock this exact part to the OEM specification the original manufacturer publishes, which is why techs who have been through a bad aftermarket cycle keep coming back to us for the same replacement whenever their next need comes up.
Technical specification & installation notes
Cycle life on this piece depends heavily on operating conditions. In a typical commercial repair shop running 6-10 lifts per day, the bendpak 5335540 thermostat should deliver five to eight years of service before showing measurable wear against the OEM inspection specification. In a high-volume tire or alignment shop running 20+ lifts per day per bay, expect service every three to five years. It is designed to be a serviceable component; when it does wear it wears within safe operating margins that trigger visible symptoms — drift, uneven wear, minor leakage — well before failure becomes a safety issue.
Shipping & ordering
Placing an order online is the fastest path — add to cart, check out, done. If the shop needs a purchase order, net-30 terms, or a formal quote for a fleet-service contract, our accounts team handles those via email at [email protected] or by phone at 800-674-9302. Volume pricing on the bendpak 5335540 thermostat kicks in at 10+ pieces on the same order for common wear items. Ask about the volume rate specifically before you check out — many fleet buyers stock 6-12 pieces at a time and the discount is meaningful over that shelf life.
Warranty coverage
Every bendpak 5335540 thermostat sold through Automotive Lift Services carries a one-year manufacturer-defect warranty. If it fails within that window due to a defect in material or workmanship, we replace it at no charge. Damage from improper installation, use outside the lift's rated capacity, side-loading, or modifications to the parent lift are not covered. The warranty is documented on your original order receipt — retain that record for the coverage period. To submit a warranty claim, contact us with the order number and a photo of the failure at [email protected].
Cross-reference & fitment
Fitment on the bendpak 5335540 thermostat is verified against the lift serial number when the order comes in. Even inside one manufacturer's catalog, a lift model built in one production year can carry subtle revisions from the same model built two or three years later. Sending us the lift serial number when you place the order — either in the order notes or in a follow-up email — lets us verify the piece against that specific serial's parts list. That five-minute step catches revision mismatches before shipping and prevents the delay of an incorrect delivery.
