The BendPak 5540225 replacement hardware 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 hardware from us gets you the OEM piece that matches the lift, not an aftermarket knock-off that is close but not the same.

When a lift gets its annual inspection, the hardware is where a trained eye lingers. Inspectors look for exactly the things this bucket of parts is bought to fix: pins with visible slop, sheaves wobbling on worn bushings, copper-colored bushing material creeping out the side of a sheave, lock springs too tired to snap a pawl home, and chains with tight links or visible stretch. Every one of those is a write-up, and every write-up is a bay out of service until the fix is documented. The economics are lopsided: the hardware costs little, the failed inspection costs the downtime, and the difference between the two outcomes is usually a walk-around you can do yourself in ten minutes.
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.
Do the inspector’s hardware pass: grab each sheave and try to wobble it by hand with the load off — real wobble is a worn pin or bushing. Look for bushing material showing at the sides of sheaves. Cycle the locks and watch that every pawl snaps back smartly; a lazy pawl is a spring. Look for bright rub marks and metal dust anywhere parts move against each other.
A lock pawl with a weak or broken return spring can fail to engage while looking perfectly normal from the floor. Anything in the lock train — springs, pins, pawls — gets replaced on condition, immediately, not monitored. The locks are the part of the lift that catches everything else.

About this bendpak 5540225 pull spring
Sourcing the correct bendpak 5540225 pull spring 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
Technical specification matches the OEM published dimensions to within manufacturing tolerance. When a shop installs the bendpak 5540225 pull spring 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

Warranty coverage
Return policy on the bendpak 5540225 pull spring 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 5540225 pull spring 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.
