The BendPak 5600722 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.
Check your lift's serial before ordering
The most common reason a lift part comes back is not a defect — it is a revision mismatch. Manufacturers change sub-parts between production runs while keeping the same lift model name, so "it fits my lift model" is not always enough. The model plate carries the serial number that pins your lift to a specific run, and that is the number that settles which version of this part belongs on your lift.
Can't find the plate? Measure the old part — overall length, bolt-hole spacing, thread size on anything threaded — and photograph it from a couple of angles. Send that with your lift's brand and rough age and we will match it against the parts breakdowns we service from every week.
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 5600722 drive tie
Sourcing the correct bendpak 5600722 drive tie 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
Torque and installation notes for this component follow the manufacturer's service manual. Where a torque value is called out, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the tightening sequence the manual publishes for that fastener location — many lift assemblies require star-pattern or crosswise tightening to distribute load evenly. Skipping that step is one of the most common reasons a correctly-sourced bendpak 5600722 drive tie still ends up needing to be re-serviced within a year. Our tech line at 800-674-9302 will walk your installer through the procedure if the shop does not have the current service manual on hand.
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 5600722 drive tie 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
Every bendpak 5600722 drive tie sold through Automotive Lift Services carries a one-year manufacturer-defect warranty. If it fails within that window due to a defect in material or workmanship, we replace it at no charge. Damage from improper installation, use outside the lift's rated capacity, side-loading, or modifications to the parent lift are not covered. The warranty is documented on your original order receipt — retain that record for the coverage period. To submit a warranty claim, contact us with the order number and a photo of the failure at [email protected].
Cross-reference & fitment
Fitment on the bendpak 5600722 drive tie 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.
