Everything structural is the long-chassis specification: 30,000 lb of capacity, a 317\" maximum wheelbase, 380\" of lift on the floor. What changes is the runway itself. Challenger's published feature list for this model does not include the recessed turn plate pockets that appear on the alignment-deck variants, and its specification sheet publishes no two-wheel alignment figure. Read that as the deck being built for service work, not for measurement work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat is the honest way to buy it, and it is worth being direct about, because model codes in this family differ by two letters and the deck is the thing those letters change. \u003cstrong\u003eIf your bay is an alignment bay, ask us before you order this variant\u003c\/strong\u003e — we will confirm the deck configuration against the factory sheet rather than let a code get misread.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat you keep\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlmost all of it. The lift is cable-driven on heavy steel sheaves and cables, it is ALI\/ETL certified, and it remains compatible with current camera imaging alignment systems — so alignment-adjacent work is not off the table, the deck simply is not built around recessed plates. Adjustable lock ladders are fitted, multiple lock positions let the deck park at a working height, and one air-actuated control releases all four columns at once.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe runway height is the underrated specification here: 8.5\" off the floor across a 24\" wide runway, with diamond-plate approach ramps. A low deck means a shallow approach angle, which is what a long front overhang or a low air dam needs to get up without contact. Spacing between runways is set from 46\" to 52\".\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat the building has to provide\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eChallenger states a minimum recommended bay of 34' x 17' for this model, which is unusually useful information — most manufacturers publish a footprint and leave circulation space to the buyer's imagination. The lift itself measures 380\" long by 172.75\" wide, stands 92.25\" at the columns, and raises the runway surface to 71.75\". Between the columns there is 318.625\", with 152\" clear inside them, and that drive-through figure is what decides whether vehicles leave forwards or reverse out.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo services are needed and both are the buyer's to arrange. Electrically it is modest: a 3 HP motor on 208 - 230V single phase, so no three-phase installation. Pneumatically it needs shop air at 90 - 120 psi to release the locks, which is the requirement most often overlooked when a bay is being prepared. Concrete depth, concrete strength, anchor layout and floor flatness are also yours to confirm against Challenger's requirements before installation is booked.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eAdjustable lock ladders, and why they exist\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop floors are not flat. They are poured with drainage falls, they settle unevenly, and after twenty years of forklift traffic they are less flat still. A four-post lift whose lock positions are fixed at the factory has to be shimmed into agreement with a floor like that. Adjustable ladders move the adjustment into the lift, where an installer can set all four columns to lock in unison on the surface that actually exists. It is the difference between a deck that seats cleanly on every lock and one that always sounds like it is landing on three.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHeavy general service\u003c\/strong\u003e — brakes, driveline, suspension and inspection work on long-wheelbase chassis.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFleet maintenance shops\u003c\/strong\u003e that need the capacity and the length without paying for an alignment deck they will not use.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSingle-phase shops\u003c\/strong\u003e where a three-phase service upgrade would cost more than the lift.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNot the first choice for a dedicated alignment bay\u003c\/strong\u003e — the alignment-deck variants in this family exist for that, and we would rather sell you the right one.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eIncluded and optional\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eColumns, runways, approach ramps, the power unit and the single-point lock release make up the lift. \u003cstrong\u003eRolling jacks and an oil drain pan are separate purchases.\u003c\/strong\u003e The runways carry a built-in rail system that accepts them, so adding either later is an order rather than a fabrication job.
