The BendPak 5520088 electrical control component 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 electrical control component 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: 5520088
- Brand: BendPak
- Type: Genuine OEM electrical control component
The one spec you cannot get wrong on lift electrics is voltage. A 110-volt motor and a 220-volt motor are not interchangeable, and neither are their contactors and overloads. Single-phase versus three-phase matters just as much. Read the data tag on the motor and match voltage, phase, and horsepower exactly — the wrong one either won't run, runs weak, or burns up the first time it's asked to lift.
Electrical parts fail by heat and by contacts. A push-button's contacts pit and stop making a clean connection; a contactor's points burn and weld or chatter; a wire lug loosens, arcs, and cooks. Motors fail on windings, bearings, or a start capacitor. The tells are a lift that runs intermittently, won't start, trips the breaker, hums without turning, or greets you with the smell of hot varnish.
Replacing your electrical control component
Servicing the safety cutouts — limit switch, overhead shut-off, overload — is about confirming the lift stops on its own when it's supposed to, not just that it runs. Replace the failed device, then test each cutout deliberately. Since these are what make the lift safe to operate, the step-by-step procedure is worth following start to finish. 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 of an electrical fault
The electrical triage list: dead lift — check breaker, disconnect, and incoming voltage first; intermittent — hunt a loose or corroded connection; hums but won't turn — capacitor or seized pump; trips the overload — motor or binding pump drawing high current; burnt smell — find the overheated point before running again; chattering contactor — low coil voltage or worn points. Power off before you probe or tighten anything.
Parts commonly replaced at the same time
Plan the electrical repair as a circuit, not a single part. The components around a failure often share its age, and doing them together while power is off is safer and cheaper than repeat visits. Give us your lift's configuration and we will assemble the matched set.
Safety notes
Before the cover comes off, the power comes off — and gets verified off. Lift controls tie the motor, the interlocks, and the shutoff together, so a careless connection can make a lift move when it should not. Match the diagram, respect the safety circuit, and get help on anything outside your comfort zone.
Before you order
Ordering tip: electrical components are specific to the lift's voltage and phase, so read the plate before you buy. A 208-230V single-phase lift and a three-phase version of the same model do not share the same contactor or motor. Send the markings off the old part and we will confirm the match.
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.
Why buy your BendPak electrical control component from Auto Lift Services
We install, inspect, and repair BendPak lifts every week — the 5520088 is a part we handle in the shop, not a random SKU we drop-ship. The phone answers if you have a question mid-install — call 800-674-9302 — and every part ships genuine, no aftermarket substitution unless you ask for it.
About this bendpak 5520088 rocker limit
The bendpak 5520088 rocker limit is a direct-fit replacement engineered to restore original manufacturer performance on the lift model it services. Every piece we ship carries the exact dimensional and material specifications the OEM published for that application. Fitment on this component is critical: it interfaces with adjacent hardware in ways that any deviation from spec can drive premature wear on nearby parts or trigger the lift's mechanical safety systems into an unexpected condition. Shops that source this from us instead of a generic aftermarket substitute consistently report zero fitment issues on first-time installation.
Technical specification & installation notes
Technical specification matches the OEM published dimensions to within manufacturing tolerance. When a shop installs the bendpak 5520088 rocker limit correctly, the lift returns to factory-rated performance immediately — no break-in period, no cycle-count adjustment required. The lift's safety systems (mechanical locks, hydraulic pressure relief, and electrical interlocks) treat a correctly-installed replacement exactly as they would treat a factory-original component during initial commissioning. That parity is what lets us honor warranty coverage without asking for the lift's full operating history.
Shipping & ordering
Shipping runs 3-5 business days on standard ground to the lower 48 states. Expedited overnight and two-day options are available; call 800-674-9302 before ordering to quote expedited freight. We stock the bendpak 5520088 rocker limit in Iowa and ship same-day for orders confirmed before 2 PM Central. Orders that come in later than that or on a Friday afternoon pick up on the next business day. A tracking number gets emailed to the address on the order the moment the package leaves our dock.
Warranty coverage
Return policy on the bendpak 5520088 rocker limit follows our store-wide standard: all parts sales are final; exchanges only if the piece arrives defective. In the case of a defective delivery, ship the failed piece back to us at your cost, we verify the defect on receipt, and ship a replacement at ours. Wrong-item deliveries where we made the shipping error follow a different path — we reimburse the return shipping cost and cover freight on the correct part. Contact [email protected] with the order number to start either process.
Cross-reference & fitment
Alternate applications for the bendpak 5520088 rocker limit sometimes exist. Where a common part fits multiple lift models across a manufacturer's catalog, cross-reference sheets show the compatible models explicitly. If you are consolidating parts stock and want to know which of your lifts the piece covers, email the request to [email protected] with a list of the lift models in your bay — we return a compatibility grid showing which lifts accept the replacement and which need a different number.
Questions about the bendpak 5520088 rocker limit? Call our parts desk at 800-674-9302 or email [email protected]. We ship nationwide from our Iowa warehouse and answer fitment questions within one business day.
