That second point is the one worth pausing on, because on the rest of this family the extension is an accessory you find out about after the lift is on the floor and the ceiling turns out to be higher than you thought.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCapacity is 10,000 lbs. Arms are Versymmetric, offset at the front so one lift handles both symmetric and asymmetric spotting. Below are the published figures for this configuration, including one height measurement that appears three different ways - all three are set out for you.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eStart with your ceiling, because that is what this variant is about\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe standard build is designed to fit a 12 ft. ceiling. Floor to overhead switch measures 10 ft. 8.5 in. to 11 ft. 2.5 in. depending on how the lift is configured. The 2 ft. extension included here raises the columns for buildings with the room, and a 3 ft. extension is available beyond that.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHeight is not a preference, it is a constraint that works in both directions. Too little headroom and the overhead shut-off bar meets the ceiling before the vehicle is high enough to work under. Too much column in a low building and you cannot install at all. Measure to the lowest obstruction over the bay - not the ceiling, the lowest thing: a beam, a door track, a heater, a light fitting, a sprinkler head. That number is the one that decides this purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCheck the overall height before you order\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eChallenger specification block\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eOverall height 11 ft. 2 in. or 11 ft. 8 in. depending on column setting; 11 ft. 11 in. with the cylinder extended.\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eThe catalogue listing for this model\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eOverall height 143 in., 145 in. or 146 in.\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eThe description that ran here before\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eA single adjustable height figure that matches neither of the above.\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003cp\u003eThree published answers, and only one of them describes the lift in the crate.

Set a wide-door car back so the doors clear the columns; centre a long pickup for balance. Arms are 3-stage front and rear, reaching 20 in. to 42 in. at the front and 37.625 in. to 60 in. at the rear, and premium double telescoping screw pads adjust 3.875 in. to 6.125 in. so the recommended lift point is usually reached by turning a pad. The directSPOT design on the front arms is aimed at first-try spotting, which is the difference between a job starting and a vehicle being reversed out and driven in again.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow it is put together\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe equalisation system uses an oversized 5 in. diameter pulley and heavy duty 5\/16 in. cable, a combination chosen for bend radius: the bigger the pulley, the less the cable is stressed each cycle and the longer it holds adjustment. Carriages are 48 in. elongated, spreading load along more of the column and slowing the wear that makes an old lift rock. The lock release is a pulley-less jacketed single-point system - one pull, both columns, nothing in the assembly to seize. Base plates are fully gusseted, arm restraints and pins are plated, the finish is powder coat, and dual integrated rubber door guards are fitted as standard.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThree width settings run from 11 ft. 6.5 in. through 12 ft. 6.5 in. overall, giving 110 in., 116 in. or 122 in. inside the columns and 100 in., 106 in. or 112 in. of drive-thru clearance between the carriages. Rise is 74.125 in. at the top of the pad, with 70 in. of maximum rise measured under the arms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe do not hold Challenger's concrete thickness or strength requirement in our product data and will not quote one - ask us for the installation manual before you drill. Confirming the slab, the anchors, the headroom and the electrical supply before delivery is the buyer's responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePower supply\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 HP, 208v-230v, 60 Hz, 1 Ph, with a speed of rise listed at 38 seconds.

That is a third-party listing rather than a manufacturer's own declaration, and it is what an insurer, a fleet policy or a municipal contract is usually asking for. If a listing is a condition of yours, get the requirement in writing and let us confirm the certificate covers the configuration you are ordering - including the column extension.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eFreight only, lower 48 states. Have a forklift or a dock ready, or take terminal pickup instead; warehouse collection is offered too. Residential delivery is available for a fee. This item ships free, so there is nothing to add at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInspect the delivery before signing. Count the columns, arms, extension and hardware cartons against the packing list, look for crushed corners, punctures and re-tied banding, and write anything questionable on the bill of lading with the driver present. A clean signature ends the carrier's involvement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eTerms and the claim route are published on our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mechanicsuperstore.com\/pages\/warranty-claims\"\u003ewarranty claims page\u003c\/a\u003e. We have not printed a coverage period, because our record for this lift holds a link and not a term and guessing at a warranty length helps nobody. Ask and we will confirm it before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf a fault appears, raise it before anything is taken apart. An opened power unit or a stripped column cannot be assessed after the fact, which is the most common way a sound claim becomes an argument.
