BendPak

BendPak's story began in 1965 with the opening of QMA, Quality Machine & Associates. The business, wholly
owned and operated by Mr. Don Henthorn, quietly and quickly gained a reputation as a premier manufacturer
which specialized in precision machine work and servicing for customers the like of Rocketdyne, Rockwell
and Hughes Aircraft. In 1979, QMA began development on a new project—a hydraulic tube bender designed for
muffler shops. They settled on the brand name BendPak, and a legend was born. Who would have guessed where
our devotion to the customer would eventually lead us?


Now BendPak is one of the world's leading producer of lifting systems, pipe-benders and air compressors,
with a global commitment to never let anything settle. Anyplace we’re sold on earth, the BendPak brand is
recognized as the badge of good quality. That’s because for the past 45 years or so, we’ve been pioneering
service equipment technology, marketing, and training programs, as well as operational and supply systems
that are now universally considered the standard for the industry.


We realised way back in the mid-60s that you’re either the best in the business or you’re well on your way
to going out of business. Second place simply isn’t good enough.


Nobody in the industry has a more sophisticated and comprehensive research and quality control program. Our
competition looks to us for inspiration, innovation and ingenuity for many of their own products. The best
ideas always seem to begin at BendPak. Charles Caleb Colton said, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”
You may find designs, materials or features in our competitor's equipment that appear to be remarkably similar,
do not be fooled. BendPak pioneered and engineered them in California. During the course of our 45-year history,
we’ve been refining and improving our technology know-how the whole time. Experience counts, our trained and
certified engineering staff averages over 25 years of industry experience.


BendPak has been building automotive service equipment the best way, with the best materials and parts for
longer than anyone. From top to bottom, no lifting equipment has more quality, durability or longevity engineered
into it than a BendPak.


Our aim at BendPak is to start with the very best to bring you the very best—and then give you even more.


Some companies seem to pride themselves on doing things the same way, year after year. Technology is shaping
and re-shaping our industry every minute. Trudging the same old territory only guarantees a circular pattern
of footprints, not a superior product. Today’s vehicles are more sophisticated than ever; so are the men and
women who service them. The equipment has to keep up with—or in the case of BendPak—lead the front edge of
technology or suffer the fate of irrelevancy. 


In 1997, BendPak sent shockwaves throughout the industry by unveiling an entirely new division of quality
automotive equipment united under the name of Ranger Products. The addition of Ranger’s vast array to the BendPak
family represented a gigantic step forward in the efforts to become a diverse, full-service, single-source provider
for emerging vehicle repair markets. Ranger’s extensive suite of manufacturing facilities and engineering
capabilities placed BendPak’s already impressive lead over the competition into astronomical figures.


Ranger has already become a trusted, sought-after name in the highly-competitive world of wheel service. But
we aren’t about to stop there. To this day, Ranger progressively deepens its resources and extends its equipment
product lines, all to increase the value offered to customers. Our product development strategy, combined with
advanced research and design expertise, makes Ranger one of the most dynamic companies in an increasingly wide
spectrum of automotive service markets.


Ranger’s current product offering consists of tyre and wheel service equipment; hydraulic jacks, cranes and
stands; tool storage and benches; spray wash systems and a variety of specialty service tools and equipment.
But just like the products themselves, don’t expect this list to remain stagnant. The men behind Ranger look at
the global marketplace and see opportunity for enhancement, advancement and growth everywhere. Our highest priority
remains squarely on identifying new niches, adding more engineering substance to our products and services,
capturing market share and empowering our brand name.


They say, "innovate or disintegrate." From the way we do business, BendPak - Ranger is here for a very, very long
time. In early 2010, Managing Automation Magazine honored BendPak with the prestigious Progressive Manufacturing 100
Award, placing BendPak on the short list of innovative manufacturing companies alongside organizations like Cisco,
Pepsi, Northrop Grumman, General Motors, Siemens, IBM and Xerox Corp.


BendPak / Ranger was the only car lift manufacturer to receive the PM100 in 2010.


To all customers, past, present and future, we extend our warmest thanks for making us the world’s leading automotive
service equipment provider for the last four and a half decades. Of all of our accomplishments, we are proudest of
having the trust of men and women who work and use our equipment every day. For those who find their calling in a
profession or hobby that still can only be mastered through honest hard work, you know that you are truly the backbone
of this industry. Without your caring craftsmanship and undying love of all things automotive, BendPak wouldn’t be
here today. We have never forgotten that fact.


We promise to always support you in every way possible, just as you have always supported us. We renew that pledge
every time you hear a friendly voice on the other end of the line say, "Thank you for calling BendPak, how can we help
you today?"
