The BendPak 5545547 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: 5545547
- Brand: BendPak
- Type: Genuine OEM replacement part
This is a manufacturer-spec replacement part for the lift it was designed for — same dimensions, same material, same fit as the part that came off. That matters more on a lift than on most equipment, because lift parts do not work in isolation: a part that is close-but-not-quite transfers its error into whatever it bolts to, rides on, or seals against. A knock-off that is a few thousandths off might install fine and then wear its neighbors for the next five years. When you order to the published spec, the part drops in and the rest of the lift never knows anything changed.
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.
Before you install the replacement, compare it side by side with the part you removed — length, bore, thread, and mounting pattern should match exactly, not approximately. If the old part is worn out of shape, measure against the mounting points on the lift instead. A mismatch caught on the bench costs you a phone call; a mismatch caught after installation costs you the job twice.
Never modify a lift part to make it fit — no drilling out holes, no grinding down shoulders, no washers-as-spacers improvisation. A part that needs persuasion is the wrong part, and a modified part on a machine that holds vehicles over people is a liability with your name on it.

About this bendpak 5545547 steel shim
Sourcing the correct bendpak 5545547 steel shim 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 5545547 steel shim 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

Warranty coverage
Return policy on the bendpak 5545547 steel shim 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
Cross-reference on the bendpak 5545547 steel shim is straightforward: match the OEM part number from the lift's parts breakdown against the number on your original invoice. If the numbers match, the component fits. If your lift's parts breakdown lists a superseded or alternate number, we accept the superseded value on the phone as confirmation of fit. When a manufacturer has issued a running change during production, we track the change in our catalog so ordering by the older number automatically pulls the current-spec replacement.
