BendPak is the most respected name in professional automotive lift technology. REVCity Auto Storage at 7185 Bermuda Rd, Las Vegas NV 89119 uses BendPak lifts for vehicle storage — keeping every stored vehicle elevated off the floor, weight removed from tires, and accessible from all sides. The difference between floor storage and BendPak lift storage is measurable and significant for high-value vehicles. Call 725-272-1803.
The Technology
BendPak is a California-based manufacturer of automotive lift equipment founded in 1965. The company produces hydraulic and mechanical lifts used by professional automotive repair shops, dealerships, and specialist storage facilities across North America. BendPak’s four-post storage lift — which supports the vehicle by its tires at four contact points and raises the entire vehicle off the floor — is the industry standard for professional vehicle storage.
The critical distinction between a BendPak storage lift and a regular four-post lift used for service is in the loading surface. Service lifts use runway platforms that support the tire’s circumference across a broad surface. BendPak’s storage lift design distributes weight in a way that can be configured to remove tire load entirely — eliminating flat-spotting — while providing stable, secure long-term storage.
Flat-Spot Prevention — The Primary Benefit
Tire flat-spotting occurs when a tire sits stationary under vehicle weight for an extended period. The contact patch — the area where the tire meets the floor — deforms slightly. On modern performance compound tires (Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2, Pirelli P Zero Corsa, Bridgestone Potenza), this deformation can become permanent enough to cause noticeable vibration at highway speeds that cannot be corrected by wheel balancing. BendPak lifts remove all vehicle weight from the tires by supporting the vehicle at designated lifting points. No weight on the tires means no flat-spotting, regardless of storage duration.
Double-Stack Storage — Maximum Space Efficiency
BendPak’s four-post lift design allows a second vehicle to be stored underneath the lifted vehicle — effectively doubling the storage capacity of a given floor area. This is particularly valuable in Las Vegas facilities where real estate costs are significant. The lower vehicle stored beneath a lifted vehicle also benefits from shelter from dust and light while remaining fully accessible when the upper vehicle is raised.
Accessibility — Service Without Moving the Vehicle
A vehicle stored on a BendPak lift remains fully accessible from underneath without requiring a separate service lift. During extended storage, this allows battery tender connections, tire pressure checks, and undercarriage inspections without moving the vehicle off its storage position. For classic cars requiring periodic lubrication or inspection, this accessibility is significant.
Load Distribution — Protecting Suspension Components
Storing a vehicle on its suspension for months applies continuous static load to springs, shock absorbers, and rubber bushings. This is particularly relevant for performance vehicles with stiff, low-travel suspension components — GT3RS, 765LT, 488 Pista — where the springs are designed for dynamic loads, not sustained static compression. BendPak lifts support the vehicle at its lift points, removing this static load from the suspension system entirely.
At REVCity
BendPak lift storage at REVCity is not a standalone feature — it works as part of the complete storage standard. Climate control prevents the tire compound softening that makes flat-spotting worse in heat. Battery tenders ensure the vehicle’s electronics remain active and accessible. The combination provides storage that eliminates every common failure mode for significant vehicles.

FAQ
What is a BendPak lift and why does it matter for car storage?
BendPak is the industry-leading manufacturer of automotive storage lifts. A BendPak four-post storage lift elevates a vehicle off the floor, removing all weight from the tires, allowing double-stack storage beneath the lifted vehicle, and maintaining full undercarriage accessibility. For exotic and collector vehicles, the primary benefit is flat-spot prevention — performance tires that sit weighted on a floor for months develop contact patch deformation that causes highway vibration.
Do performance tires really flat-spot during storage?
Yes. Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2, Pirelli P Zero Corsa, Bridgestone Potenza, and other performance-compound tires use softer rubber that is more vulnerable to contact patch deformation under vehicle weight than standard road tires. A GT3RS or 765LT stored on its tires for 3 to 6 months in Las Vegas summer heat — where tire compound softens — can develop flat spots severe enough to require tire replacement. BendPak lifts eliminate this entirely.
Does REVCity have BendPak lifts at every storage space?
Yes. REVCity’s BendPak lift infrastructure is available at every storage position — not select premium spots. Every vehicle stored at REVCity benefits from elevated storage, zero weight on tires, and full undercarriage accessibility.
Can I store two cars in one BendPak lift space?
Yes. BendPak’s four-post design accommodates a second vehicle stored beneath the lifted vehicle — effectively providing two storage positions in one floor area. Contact REVCity at 725-272-1803 to discuss double-stack storage arrangements for your vehicles.
