The BendPak 5595377 lifting cable 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 lifting cable from us gets you the OEM piece that matches the lift, not an aftermarket knock-off that is close but not the same.

There is no cheaper insurance on a lift than fresh cable and sound sheaves. A cable set costs a fraction of a day's labor; a dropped vehicle costs the car, the downtime, and possibly somebody standing next to it. These parts hold real weight in the air. The moment a cable shows broken strands or a sheave won't turn true, the lift comes out of service until it's fixed — no exceptions worth making.

Lift cables don't have a fixed lifespan; they have an hours-and-conditions lifespan. A busy shop that cycles a two-post twenty times a day wears cable and sheaves far faster than a home garage that lifts once a week. Grit, road salt dragged in on frames, and a rough sheave groove all speed it up. Most sets that see daily commercial use start showing broken strands somewhere in the five-to-ten year window.

Replacing your lifting cable

Getting a tension part in and adjusted is well within a capable shop's reach, but it's exacting: correct routing, correct order on the retention hardware, and careful equalization so no single lock takes the load first. Rush the adjustment and the lift arrives at the top crooked. For that reason the whole procedure is worth following step by step. Full step-by-step: how to replace 2-post lift cables.

Find the right part for your lift

Landed here but not 100% sure it is your part? Grab the model and serial from the data plate and open our parts lookup for the visual breakdown — the manufacturer-style drawing with every item numbered so you can match yours exactly. Plate missing? our guide to finding your model number helps, and we identify lifts from photos every week if you would rather ask.

Signs a cable or sheave is worn out

On sheaves specifically, spin each one and feel for roughness or wobble on the pin. Sight down the groove for a step or a widened, polished channel where the cable has cut in. Check for cracks radiating from the bore and for a bushing that's walking out. A sheave that has grooved oversize will cord a brand-new cable within a season, so replace it while you're in there.

Parts commonly replaced at the same time

When a cable or sheave goes, the rest of the set is usually close behind — they share the same hours and the same wear. Most shops replace all the cables together and refresh the sheaves in the same visit, because the labor to open the columns is the same whether you change one part or the set. Ask us to build the full cable-and-sheave kit for your lift and you order once.

Safety notes

Treat every cable and sheave on a lift as load-bearing until proven otherwise — because it is. Replace tension parts in matched sets so they wear evenly, never reuse a cable that has been kinked or run slack, and set the carriage on its mechanical locks before you put a wrench on anything under tension. A cable that lets go does not fail politely.

Before you order

Have the lift's model, serial, and the old part in front of you when you order. Tension parts vary by production year and by standard-versus-extended height, and the fastest way to get the right one is to match length and fittings against what came off. Call and we will confirm before it ships.

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.
