BendPak to Host SEMA Show Tailgate to Unveil Valor C10, Major Product Drops

Lift leader invites industry to party for custom truck reveal, new equipment across two booths

AGOURA HILLS, Calif., Oct. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BendPak is bringing a high-octane party to the SEMA Show 2026, anchoring its massive dual-booth presence with an outdoor tailgate on opening day, Tuesday, November 3, at 1 p.m. in Silver Lot Booth #80043. This event will feature the official global reveal of BendPak’s radical Valor C10 custom truck build. The tailgate will feature a live DJ set, refreshments, exclusive giveaways, and an elite lineup of top automotive influencers hanging out with fans.

While the outdoor tailgate centers on the truck debut, BendPak is using its two booth locations for a massive rollout of new lifts and garage equipment from across its brands, including Ranger, QuickJack, Cool Boss, APEX, JackPak, MaxJax, and Ergochair. Shop owners, technicians and automotive enthusiasts visiting the high-energy Silver Lot booth will get a first look at new products displayed alongside the Valor C10. Simultaneously, showgoers can step inside the Las Vegas Convention Center to Upper South Hall Booth #36129 for hands-on demonstrations of next-generation lifting and shop solutions.

“Everyone on our team is a car and truck enthusiast, so when it came time to debut the Valor C10, we knew we had to drop the tailgate, put on some music and hang out with the community that inspires us,” says Jeff Kritzer, BendPak president and CEO. “SEMA is all about spotlighting the coolest builds, but it’s also about equipping the shops that bring them to life. Alongside the truck, we’re bringing a massive lineup of new gear across both booths. For us, this week is about celebrating where custom car and truck culture is right now and showing where we’re taking equipment engineering next.”
