Underneath that control layout sits the standard CL10AV3 platform - a 10,000 lbs. capacity two-post lift with Versymmetric offset front arms, three width settings and a 2 HP power unit.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEverything below is the published specification for this exact configuration. Where two published figures differ, this page gives both, attributed, and asks you to confirm the one that matters with us before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat a second control station actually changes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn a single-control lift the operator has one place to stand, and it is not always the place with a clear view of the arms. Pads get seated by feel and by shouting across the bay. With a pendant on each column the technician can work from the side the vehicle is loaded from, watch the near pads bite as the arms take weight, drop back down an inch and reseat without walking around the vehicle. That matters most in the first few inches of travel, which is where a badly seated pad becomes a slipped vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt also changes how two people share a bay: each has controls in front of them rather than one operating and one watching. The padded overhead shut-off is standard either way, and stops the lift before a roof finds the crossbeam. The lock release is a pulley-less jacketed single-point system - one pull frees both columns, with no release pulley to seize. Base plates are fully gusseted, arm restraints and pins are plated against rust, the finish is powder coat, and dual integrated rubber door guards are standard.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eVersymmetric arms and spotting a vehicle on the first try\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eVersymmetric is Challenger's offset front arm geometry, and its practical effect is that one lift covers both symmetric and asymmetric work in the same bay. A wide-door sedan wants the vehicle set back so the doors clear the columns; a long pickup wants it centred on the columns for balance. A lift locked to one arrangement makes you compromise on one of them every time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eArms 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 - the span that lets one lift take a small hatchback and a crew cab without an adapter drawer. The directSPOT front arm design targets the most wasted minute in a service bay: driving in, finding the front arm will not reach the pinch weld, backing out and starting again. Premium double telescoping screw pads adjust through 3.875 in. to 6.125 in., so most vehicles are reached by turning a pad rather than stacking blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eThe parts that wear, and how this one is built\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eEqualisation hardware is where a two-post lift ages. This one runs an oversized 5 in. diameter pulley with heavy duty 5\/16 in. cable, and the reason to care is bend radius: a cable turning around a larger pulley works less hard every cycle, so the equalisation system stays in adjustment longer. The 48 in. elongated carriage spreads the load over a longer section of column, which reduces the rocking that eventually wears slides oval.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe standard model is built for a 12 ft. ceiling, and 2 ft. or 3 ft. column extensions are available if you have the room and want more. Floor to overhead switch measures 10 ft. 8.5 in. to 11 ft. 2.5 in. depending on how the lift is set up.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWidth is adjustable in three settings, from 11 ft. 6.5 in. through to 12 ft. 6.5 in. Inside the columns you get 110 in., 116 in. or 122 in. accordingly, with drive-thru clearance between the carriages of 100 in., 106 in. or 112 in. Rise height 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 and strength specification in our own product data, so we will not quote you one. Ask us for the installation manual before you drill anything. Verifying the slab, the anchor spec, the ceiling clearance and the electrical supply is the buyer's responsibility, and it is far cheaper to do it with a tape measure than with a lift on the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eOne measurement worth a phone call\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe overall height of this lift is published two ways, and a lift is exactly the wrong product to guess about.\u003c\/p\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, and 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 \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe two do not describe the same configuration. \u003cstrong\u003eIf your ceiling is anywhere near tight, or you are fitting under a beam, a door track or a heater, confirm the overall height with us in writing before you order\u003c\/strong\u003e - we will get it straight from Challenger.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003ePower supply\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe power unit on this configuration is 2 HP, 208v-230v, 60 Hz, 1 Ph, and Challenger lists its speed of rise at 38 seconds. Worth knowing if you are comparing pages: the marketing copy that ran here previously quoted a 27 second rise and a 17 second descent. Those figures describe Challenger's QuickCycle power unit, which is a different configuration in this same family - not this one.

That is the meaningful kind - a third-party listing rather than a manufacturer's own declaration - and it is what an insurer, a franchise agreement or a municipal supply contract will usually be asking about. If a listing is a condition of your cover or your contract, get the requirement in writing and speak to us before you order so we can match the certificate to the exact configuration you are buying.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eShipping and Delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis lift travels as freight within the lower 48 states. You will need a forklift or a loading dock at your end, or you can take terminal pickup instead; warehouse collection is also offered. Residential delivery is available and carries a fee.

Ask us and we will confirm it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf something fails, contact us before anything is taken apart. A dismantled column or a stripped power unit cannot be assessed, and that is the most common way a sound claim turns into an argument.
