The BendPak 5545032 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.

Nobody budgets for a washer. That is exactly how a bay ends up dead for three days — the big components get stocked and scheduled, and then the lift goes down over a pin, a clip, or a spring that nobody thought to have on the shelf. Hardware is the highest-leverage inventory in lift maintenance: the unit cost is trivial, the failure mode is a stopped bay, and the lead time is the same freight wait as any other part. When you order the hardware that failed, order its twin on the other side of the lift too — both sides carry the same hours, so the second failure is already scheduled whether you planned for it or not.
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.
Check the mirror position of whatever failed. Lifts are symmetric machines: the same pin, spring, or bushing exists on the other column or the other end of the crossbeam, with identical hours on it. If one side measured worn, the other side is close behind, and the labor is already paid while the lift is apart. Also inspect the hardware you had to remove for access — disturbed fasteners deserve a look before reuse.
Waiting on a hardware part is not a reason to run the lift without it. A lift missing a retaining clip or running a known-broken spring is out of service until the part arrives — the couple of days of patience is cheaper than what an unretained pin lets go of.

About this bendpak 5545032 washer flat
The bendpak 5545032 washer flat 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 5545032 washer flat 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 5545032 washer flat 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 5545032 washer flat 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
Fitment on the bendpak 5545032 washer flat 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.
