The BendPak 5755166 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.

Automotive lifts are supposed to be inspected annually, and inspectors work from a list: locks, cables, sheaves, hydraulics, arm restraints, decals, and the general condition of every load-bearing part. A part in the condition that put this page in front of you is exactly the kind of line item that turns an inspection into a to-do list. The shops that pass clean are not the ones with new lifts — they are the ones that replace worn parts when they find them instead of when the inspection report forces the issue. Fixing it now costs the part; fixing it after a failed inspection costs the part plus the downtime while the bay sits red-tagged.
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.
Think like the inspector while you are in there: do the locks engage on every column, do the cables show fraying or cording, do the sheaves spin without wobble, does anything weep hydraulic fluid, and are the capacity and safety decals still legible? Each one is a five-second check, and together they are most of the annual inspection done early, on your schedule instead of the inspector’s.
If a lift is in bad enough shape that using it could hurt someone, the right move is taking it out of service at the breaker until it is repaired — not finishing the week on it. No job in the schedule is worth running a lift you already know is unsafe.
Why buy your BendPak replacement part from Auto Lift Services
We install, inspect, and repair BendPak lifts every week — the 5755166 is a part we handle in the shop, not a random SKU we drop-ship.
- The phone answers if you have a question mid-install — call 800-674-9302.
- We confirm the right part for your lift's serial and production year before you order.
- Every part ships as genuine BendPak — no aftermarket substitution unless you specifically ask for an aftermarket equivalent.
If you also need companion wear items — cables, sheaves, seals, hardware — for the same repair, use our parts lookup and we will build the whole kit for your lift so you order once and finish the job.
About this bendpak 5755166 short slack
Every order for the bendpak 5755166 short slack 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 5755166 short slack 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 5755166 short slack 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 5755166 short slack 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 5755166 short slack 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.
