The BendPak 5601509 lift arm component 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 lift arm component 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: 5601509
- Brand: BendPak
- Type: Genuine OEM lift arm component
- Fits: 10AP, 10APX, 10APX-181
The restraint gear on a 2-post lift is the toothed gear that engages when the lifting arm swings in under load, locking the arm at whatever angle the tech set it to. When teeth wear round, chip, or the pawl gear that engages into the restraint gear loses its point, the arm can swing under load — and a swung arm with a vehicle on it drops the vehicle. Any restraint gear that will not positively catch the arm under light hand pressure needs to come off, whether the teeth look okay 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.
Also inspect
- Arm pin — if you had a bad restraint gear you may also have a mushroomed or grooved arm pin
- Foot-pad rubber — intact, securely attached
- Return spring on the pawl
- Arm itself — broken welds, cracks, severe rust
A restraint gear that will not engage is a lift that is unsafe to load. Do not put a vehicle on the lift until you confirm both arms lock positively under hand pressure.

About this bendpak 5601509 arm lock
Every order for the bendpak 5601509 arm lock 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 5601509 arm lock 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 5601509 arm lock 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 5601509 arm lock 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 5601509 arm lock 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.
