APEX 96-inch Lightweight Foam Four-Post Ramp Kit - Set of 2 (5174170)

96-Inch Lightweight Foam Four-Post Ramp Kit for BendPak HD-973P and HD-973PX Lifts

The APEX 96-Inch Lightweight Foam 4-Post Ramp Kit is built to replace the heavy factory steel or aluminum drive-on ramps used with BendPak HD-973P and HD-973PX triple-stack parking lifts. These lightweight four-post lift ramps give you the same essential drive-on functionality with a smoother loading experience, easier handling, and a much friendlier approach for low-clearance vehicles.

Each ramp uses a long 96-inch profile, 11 inches of lift, and a smooth 6-degree approach angle to help reduce scraping, dragging, and loading stress for performance cars, lowered vehicles, long-wheelbase vehicles, and cars with front lips or splitters. Instead of wrestling with heavy ramps every time you need access or storage flexibility, APEX gives HD-973P and HD-973PX owners a lightweight hook-nose ramp solution that feels like a real upgrade every time you use the lift.

Designed Specifically for BendPak HD-973P and HD-973PX Triple-Stack Parking Lifts

These APEX four-post lift ramps are engineered exclusively for BendPak HD-973P and HD-973PX triple-stack parking lifts that use removable, drop-in steel drive-on ramps. The hook-nose geometry, ramp profile, and pocket engagement are matched to the dimensions of these specific BendPak lift models for a secure, repeatable fit.

This kit is not intended or approved for use on any other four-post lift, even if the ramp pockets appear similar. Always verify that your lift is a BendPak HD-973P or HD-973PX before installation. Using these ramps on other brands or models can result in improper engagement, unstable ramp positioning, and unsafe operation. When matched correctly, APEX ramps create a cleaner, easier, and more confidence-inspiring loading experience for compatible BendPak triple-stack lifts.

6-Degree Approach Angle for Low Cars and Longer Wheelbase Vehicles

At 96 inches long with 11 inches of lift, each APEX ramp provides a gradual run-up that helps low cars climb onto the lift with less drama. The 6-degree approach angle softens the transition from the shop floor to the lift runways, helping protect front splitters, lower lips, long overhangs, and performance bodywork during loading and unloading.

The longer ramp length is especially useful for modern performance cars, longer wheelbase vehicles, and cars with larger front overhangs. Instead of forcing the nose toward a steep ramp edge, the chassis rotates more gradually and predictably as the tires move up the ramp and onto the runways. For shops, detailers, dealers, and serious home garages, that means faster loading, fewer clearance headaches, and fewer “everybody hold your breath” moments.

Reinforced EPS Foam Core with Rugged Polyurea Grip Coating

APEX ramps are built around a proprietary high-density expanded polystyrene structural foam core that supports serious vehicle weight while staying impressively light in the hand. This is not hollow plastic, a thin metal shell, or a gimmick dressed up as shop equipment. The solid closed-cell EPS body distributes load through the full ramp structure, resists water and oil absorption, will not rust, and does not transfer heat like steel.

Each ramp is fully encapsulated in a high-performance polyurea elastomer coating that chemically bonds to the foam core for a tough, flexible outer shell. The micro-textured surface helps grip the tire and the shop floor on concrete, epoxy, painted floors, and typical service bay surfaces. Inside the hook nose, a reinforced insert anchors deep into the structural foam body, creating a secure mechanical connection that seats into the lift slot without relying on a glued-on plate or thin coating layer to stay together.

Built for HD-973P and HD-973PX

Engineered exclusively for BendPak HD-973P and HD-973PX triple-stack parking lifts. The hook-nose profile and pocket engagement are matched to these specific lift models for proper fitment.

96-Inch Ramp Length

The long 96-inch ramp profile creates a gradual run-up for low-clearance vehicles, performance cars, and longer wheelbase vehicles. It helps make loading smoother and more predictable from floor to runway.

Smooth 6-Degree Approach

A 6-degree approach angle helps reduce scraping on front lips, splitters, and long overhangs. It gives low cars a calmer path onto the lift without the sketchy stock-ramp routine.

Reinforced Hook-Nose Insert

A contoured internal hook-nose insert anchors deep into the structural foam body. This creates a stronger connection than foam ramps that rely on a flat plate glued to the front.

Structural EPS Foam Core

The high-density EPS core is solid, closed-cell, and engineered to support heavy vehicle loads while staying easy to carry. It will not rust, absorb oil or water, or feel hollow under the tire.

Polyurea Grip Coating

A rugged polyurea elastomer coating fully encapsulates the ramp for abrasion, impact, and chemical resistance. The micro-textured surface helps grip both the tire and shop floor during drive-on loading.

Recommended Add-ons

Features

• Dramatically lighter than the factory steel ramps supplied with BendPak HD-973P and HD-973PX lifts, while still providing serious strength.
• Engineered specifically for BendPak HD-973P and HD-973PX four-post lifts and not designed or approved for use with other lift models or brands.
• 96 inch length, 11 inch lift, and 6 degree approach angle help protect splitters, lips, and front overhangs when driving onto the lift.
• Internal hook reinforcement ties deep into the foam core for a strong, secure fit in the lift slot that will not rely on glue alone.
• Solid, closed cell EPS supports thousands of pounds while staying easy to carry, and will not rust, absorb water, or transfer heat.
• Chemically bonded outer shell resists abrasion and chemicals and provides a grippy surface for both tires and shop floors.
• Molded hand grips and balanced weight make the ramps simple for one person to move, hang, and store.
• Foam and coating combination is safe on concrete, epoxy, and most painted or sealed surfaces without scratching or gouging.
