APEX 48" Lightweight Foam Four Post Ramp Kit
5" Lift / 5.7° Approach Angle / Set of 2

The APEX 48" Lightweight Foam 4 Post Ramp Kit is the ultra convenient, hook nose replacement for the heavy steel or aluminum ramps that came with your four post lift. Each 48 inch ramp delivers 5 inches of lift with a gentle 5.7 degree approach angle that is far friendlier for lower cars and performance vehicles. Designed for BendPak four post lifts and compatible with most lifts that use drop in or hook style ramps, these APEX ramps are so light and easy to move you will never want to wrestle factory ramps again.

Ultra-Lightweight Upgrade for BendPak Four-Post Lifts
APEX four post lift ramps are the ultra lightweight upgrade for BendPak style drive on lifts, built to replace heavy factory steel ramps with something you can move one handed. Each ramp uses a solid structural foam core with a rugged polyurea skin and a reinforced hook nose that seats positively in the lift pockets. The result is a low angle drive on experience that protects splitters, lips, and front overhangs while taking the misery out of pulling ramps on and off the lift all day.

Ditch The Heavy Steel Ramps For Good
Four post lifts are great. The factory ramps that come with them usually are not. They are heavy, awkward, and just steep enough to make low cars sketchy or annoying to load. The 48" Lightweight Foam 4 Post Ramp Kit from APEX is built to change that permanently for BendPak HD-9 and HD-7 series lifts.

This kit replaces the stock steel or aluminum ramps on compatible BendPak HD-9 and HD-7 four post lifts with a lightweight, hook nose foam alternative that locks into the lift like the originals but feels nothing like them in your hands. You get a smooth 5.7 degree approach angle, 5 inches of lift, and a ramp that one person can remove, hang, and reinstall without a full body workout. Once you live with APEX, going back to stock ramps feels prehistoric.

Designed Specifically For BendPak HD-9 And HD-7 Lifts
These four post lift race car ramps are tuned around BendPak HD-9 and HD-7 series four post lifts that use removable drive up ramps. The hook nose geometry, ramp profile, and pocket engagement are all matched to the ramp receivers on these specific BendPak models for a positive, repeatable fit.

This kit is not intended or approved for use on other lift brands or models, even if the ramp pockets appear similar. Always confirm that your lift is part of the BendPak HD-9 or HD-7 family before installing APEX four post ramps.

Shorter Length, Fast Loading, Friendly Angle
Not every shop or garage needs a 96 inch monster ramp. The 48" Lightweight Foam 4 Post Ramp Kit exists for users who want faster loading and easier handling with a more compact footprint, while still getting a low approach angle.

At 48 inches long with a 5 inch lift and 5.7 degree approach angle, this ramp is ideal for standard ride height vehicles, performance cars, and many mildly lowered setups that still see regular lift use. The angle is noticeably friendlier than most factory steel ramps, which means less drama with front lips, splitters, or long overhangs. For general service work, oil changes, inspections, and detailing, it hits a sweet spot between usability and shop speed.

Hook Nose That Is Actually Engineered, Not Just Glued On
A lot of foam ramps in the market cheat the hook nose. They glue a flat plate onto the end of a foam block and hope the coating keeps it together. That looks right in photos but turns ugly once real weight and time get involved. APEX takes a very different approach.

Inside every hook nose ramp is a precision formed internal reinforcement that has an S shaped contour and runs deep into the structural foam core. That reinforcement is mechanically anchored inside the ramp body before the entire assembly is encapsulated in polyurea. The result is a hook that acts like part of the ramp, not something stuck on the front. It will not peel off, hinge away, or rely on a thin skin of coating to stay attached.

High Density EPS Structural Foam Core
At the heart of each APEX ramp is a proprietary high density expanded polystyrene (EPS) structural core. This is a solid core design, not a hollow shell. The foam is produced and molded in a way that creates a dense, tightly compacted structure capable of supporting thousands of pounds while staying light enough to carry easily.

Compared to steel, EPS will not rust, does not transfer heat, and does not absorb water or oil. Compared to hollow plastic, it does not collapse, ring, or feel sketchy under the tire. The closed cell structure also adds natural damping, which is better for the tire and better for the surface under the ramp.

Polyurea Coating That Grips And Survives Shop Abuse
The EPS core is fully encapsulated in a high performance polyurea elastomer coating. This coating is sprayed on in a way that chemically bonds to the foam, creating a tough but flexible shell that resists abrasion, impact, and chemical attacks from typical automotive fluids.

The surface is micro textured to provide real grip both under the tire and at the floor interface. That means the ramp is built to stay put during drive on maneuvers, even on smooth concrete or epoxy coated floors. You are not chasing ramps around the bay or throwing down rubber mats just to keep them from sliding.

Light Enough To Move Without Thinking About It
The big quality of life upgrade with APEX four post ramps is not just the geometry, it is the weight. Steel ramps are a chore. Even aluminum ramps get old when you are moving them multiple times a day. The 48" Lightweight Foam 4 Post Ramp Kit is different.

Structural foam construction and integrated carry zones make each ramp light enough that one person can grab it, walk it off the lift, hang it, or reposition it without grunting. In a busy shop, that saves time and backs. In a serious home garage, it means you do not dread setup and teardown. You just move the ramp and get on with your work.

For HD-9 And HD-7 Lifts Where Heavy Ramps Are Killing The Experience
At the end of the day, this kit is about fixing one specific problem on one specific family of lifts. If your BendPak HD-9 or HD-7 four post lift is saddled with old school steel ramps, and loading low cars feels like a gamble or moving ramps feels like punishment, APEX is the upgrade that fixes all of it in one move.

The 48" Lightweight Foam 4 Post Ramp Kit gives HD-9 and HD-7 owners a professional, lightweight alternative that respects your time, your body, and your customer cars. Once you bolt into this way of working, the idea of going back to heavy ramps will feel like going backward a decade.

Who Is This Product Best For?

BendPak HD-9 and HD-7 four post lift owners who are done wrestling factory steel ramps
Shops and dealers using HD-9 or HD-7 lifts that load a mix of daily drivers and lower performance vehicles all day long
Detailers, tuners, and alignment shops that constantly drive cars on and off BendPak HD-9 and HD-7 lifts
Home enthusiasts and collectors who want a professional, lightweight ramp solution for their BendPak HD-9 or HD-7 lift
Anyone who wants an APEX level, ultra light ramp that makes using a BendPak HD-9 or HD-7 four post lift faster, easier, and less painful

Built Around BendPak Four Post Lifts
APEX four post ramps are designed first and foremost for BendPak lifts. Hook geometry, pocket engagement, and overall ramp profile are matched to specific BendPak models so they drop in and work as if they shipped with the lift from day one. Some ramps, such as the 96 inch Lightweight Foam 4 Post Ramp Kit, are engineered specifically for the HD-973P and HD-973PX triple stack lifts and must not be used on any other model. Others, like the shorter 48 inch kit, are tuned for more conventional BendPak four post installations where space and speed matter. Either way, you get a purpose built solution, not a generic block that just happens to fit.

Structural Foam That Replaces Heavy Steel
Traditional steel ramps get the job done, but they are brutal to live with. APEX replaces that mass with a high density structural foam core that carries real vehicle loads while remaining shockingly light. Under the tire, the ramp feels solid and planted. Under your hand, it feels manageable. The foam never rusts, does not soak up fluids, and does not ring or flex like thin metal. It is wrapped in a polyurea shell that resists abrasion and chemicals while providing a micro textured surface that grips typical shop floors and tire tread.

Low Angles For Low Cars
APEX four post ramps are specced with low approach angles so modern sports cars, performance sedans, and lowered builds can climb onto the runways without treating the lift like a concrete curb. Longer 96 inch ramps give you 11 inches of lift with a 6 degree approach angle that is friendly to serious aero and long overhangs. Shorter 48 inch ramps provide a compact, faster loading option with a more forgiving angle than factory steel. In both cases, you get predictable geometry that respects ride height instead of punishing it.

Everyday Use Without The Daily Fight
Lightweight ramps change how you use the lift. When a 96 inch ramp can be moved by one person, you stop hesitating to pull it for rear access or cosmetic reasons. Integrated carry zones molded into the ramp body make it easy to lift, hang, and stow without wrestling hardware or listening to loose plates rattle. APEX ramps are built to live on and off the lift all week in real shops and serious home garages, not to sit in the corner as a someday upgrade.

Hook-Nose Four Post Ramp FAQs

Which four post lifts are APEX ramps compatible with?
APEX four post ramps are designed primarily for BendPak lifts. The 96 inch Lightweight Foam 4 Post Ramp Kit is engineered specifically for BendPak HD-973P and HD-973PX models and must not be used on any other lift. Other APEX four post ramp kits are tuned for additional BendPak four post configurations. Always check the compatibility notes on each product page and verify your exact lift model before ordering.

Why can’t the 96" APEX four post ramps be used on other brands or models?
The 96 inch ramps use a hook nose profile and pocket engagement that are matched to the HD-973P and HD-973PX ramps and runways. Using them on lifts with different pocket geometry can lead to incomplete engagement, unstable seating, and unsafe operation. For that reason they are approved only for those specific BendPak models.

Are APEX ramps as strong as the steel ramps they replace?
APEX ramps use a high density structural EPS core with a reinforced hook and a bonded polyurea shell. This composite design is engineered to support thousands of pounds within the published limits while providing a large, stable contact patch. When used on the specified BendPak models according to the instructions, they deliver strength and stability without the weight and rust of traditional steel ramps.

Do APEX four post ramps work with low cars and front splitters?
Yes. Approach angles are specifically tuned for low and performance oriented vehicles. The 96 inch ramps use a 6 degree approach angle to be friendly to long noses and aero, while the shorter 48 inch ramps offer a lower angle than typical factory steel ramps. As with any ramp, you should still load slowly and confirm clearance with very aggressive setups.

Can I leave APEX ramps on the lift full time?
Absolutely. APEX ramps are designed to live on the lift just like the original steel ramps. They can also be removed and stored easily thanks to their low weight and molded carry zones. The structural foam and polyurea shell do not rust and are resistant to typical shop environments.

One Idea. Four Ways To Use It
APEX ramps solve the same problem in different places - on the trailer, in the garage, on the lift and when the car sits for a while.

From The Lift People. For The Ramp Problem.
APEX is born inside the same group that builds BendPak car lifts. That means these ramps were sketched on shop floors, tested under real cars and refined around real frustrations. APEX ramps are not just an accessory. They are part of a system. The missing piece between the floor, the trailer and the lift your car already trusts.

All The Strength. None Of The Struggle.
Steel ramps are strong but heavy. Aluminum is lighter but still a fight. APEX ramps use a solid, lightweight high-density EPS structural foam core that changes the math. The foam core spreads weight through the body instead of concentrating it at thin contact points. The outer skin is a tough, textured coating that locks to the core and grips tires and floors. Don't dread the setup. Grab an APEX ramp, drop it where it belongs and get on with the work.

What's Inside Every APEX Ramp?
APEX ramps are not painted mystery foam. Each one is a composite: a high density expanded polystyrene core locked inside a sprayed polyurea elastomer shell. The chemistry is overbuilt for what you do to ramps in the real world.

Polyurea Coating On The Outside
The outer shell is a two component polyurea elastomer sprayed directly onto the foam. Isocyanate and amine react in milliseconds to form long chains of urea linkages that crosslink into a dense, rubber tough skin. That chemistry gives you high tensile strength, very high elongation and serious abrasion resistance in one layer.

The coating wets into the EPS surface while it cures, so it does not sit on top like paint. It keys into the core and locks on, which is why you can drag APEX ramps across concrete, load on them all weekend and not watch the shell peel away.

Fast cure time for a seamless shell around the core.
High elongation and impact resistance for dropped tools and curb hits.
Micro textured finish that grips tires and typical shop floors.
Excellent resistance to oil, fuel, coolant and most common shop chemicals.

High Density Expanded Polystyrene On The Inside
The core starts as styrene beads that are pre expanded with steam, then fused under heat and pressure into a solid block. At the densities APEX uses, expanded polystyrene behaves like a structural foam: rigid enough to carry heavy loads, light enough to move with one hand and stable across real temperature swings in trailers and garages.

Closed cell structure means the beads trap gas rather than water. The core does not soak up moisture, does not rust and does not slowly turn to mush if you park on it for long stretches. Compression is distributed through the whole block instead of one thin wall, which is why APEX ramps feel planted when you drive onto them.

High compressive strength relative to weight for real vehicle loads.
Closed cell construction that resists water ingress and freeze damage.
Dimensionally stable across typical shop and trailer temperatures.
Acts as a damping layer so ramps stay quiet under the car.

Two Materials Working As One.
Put together, the EPS core and polyurea shell give APEX ramps a solid core feel with a tough, grippy surface that holds up to trailers, lifts and low cars that actually get driven.
