The BendPak 5545001 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.
Specifications
- Part number: 5545001
- Brand: BendPak
- Type: Genuine OEM replacement hardware

Hardware is the easiest category to order wrong, because so much of it looks generic — a pin is a pin until it is an eighth of an inch short and the e-clip groove lands inside the bore. Lift makers change hardware dimensions between production runs without renaming the lift, so the part that fits a given model can split by serial range. Order from your lift’s data tag — model and serial — rather than from the model name or from a lookalike photo. If the tag is gone, the old hardware itself is the spec: measure it, or photograph it next to a tape measure and send it to us, and we will match it before it ships.
Not sure this fits? Here's how to check
Pull the number off your lift's model plate first — model and serial both. Manufacturers run mid-cycle revisions that keep the model name but change hardware, so two lifts with the same name on the column can take different parts. The serial is what removes the guesswork.
Second check: compare the old part against this listing before you order. Length, mounting pattern, and thread sizes tell most of the story. If anything doesn't line up, or if the old part is too worn or broken to measure, call us with photos — we work on these lifts every week and can usually confirm fit from a picture and the lift's serial faster than you can dig through a parts diagram.
Measure the old part before you order and again against the new part when it arrives: overall length, diameter, groove and cross-hole locations, and thread size on anything threaded. On threaded hardware, run the nut on by hand first — if it fights, check for welding slag or damaged threads and clean them up with a file rather than powering the nut on and wrecking both parts.
Close is not correct on load-bearing hardware. A pin that is slightly undersized hammers its bore oval; a bolt of the wrong grade shears under a load the right one shrugs off. If what arrived does not match what came out, install nothing and call — guessing is the one move with no good outcome.

About this bendpak 5545001 washer thk
Every order for the bendpak 5545001 washer thk starts with a fitment confirmation. Two lifts of the same model can carry subtle revisions between production years, and a component that fits a rev-A lift may not fit a rev-B lift built two years later. Before your card is charged we verify the piece against the parts breakdown for your specific lift serial number. That five-minute step is the difference between the part arriving and being installed the same afternoon versus the wrong piece showing up and the shop losing a day of billable work.
Technical specification & installation notes
Technical specification matches the OEM published dimensions to within manufacturing tolerance. When a shop installs the bendpak 5545001 washer thk 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
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 5545001 washer thk 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
Return policy on the bendpak 5545001 washer thk 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 5545001 washer thk 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.
