BendPak continues to enhance its Mobi-EVS series of EV battery and drive lifting systems to improve technician productivity and ergonomics when working with heavy electric vehicle batteries, conventional drives or other bulky vehicle components. BendPak says the new Mobi-EVS4500 and EVS3000 models are stronger, more durable and easier to maneuver.
“Since we introduced the first fully extendable, battery-powered mobile EV battery lift table in 2021, we have never stopped refining our patent-pending design based on customer feedback, internal testing and ongoing engineering analysis,” said Sean Price, BendPak’s sales manager. “From obvious improvements like an all-new handle to those not so easily seen like the use of higher grades of steel in key components, our latest innovations make the EVS4500 and EVS3000 perfect for servicing electric cars, vans and commercial vehicles.”
Innovations in the new Mobi-EVS models include lowering the center of gravity, redesigning the base frame and scissor assemblies, increasing the use of high-strength steel, widening the safety assembly, and increasing weld sizes. BendPak engineers have also improved the patent-pending tilt table to make it even easier to adjust and improve overall stability.

The new models also offer improved mobility. They feature an all-new full-width U-shaped push/pull handle that provides greater control when moving the lift around the workshop. The handle stows away in the base when not in use. Improved smooth-rolling multi-directional casters allow the operator to move the table and change direction, while a new three-roller locking pin improves straight-line movement.
A single person can control the operation of the Mobi-EVS using the attached pendant controller. With the push of a button, the approximately 43″ x 63″ lift raises more than 6 feet in 18 seconds. The multi-point safety locking system automatically engages during lifting and is easily released by pushing a button on the pendant controller.
Multiple recessed anchor points on the platform surface accommodate a variety of modular fixtures, adapters and accessories for versatility. Screw spindles allow easy roll, pitch and yaw adjustments for alignment and leveling of EV batteries and other components.
The Mobi-EVS4500 has a rated lifting capacity of 2040kg – enough to lift a wide range of electric vehicles from cars to commercial vehicles. The Mobi-EVS3000 can lift up to 1360kg.
