The CL4P9S exists for those buyers. It carries the same 9,000 lbs as its taller siblings on columns just over 7', and that shorter column is usually the difference between a lift that fits your building and a lift that has to live somewhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead this before you read the feature list below.\u003c\/strong\u003e That list covers Challenger's whole CL4P9 range, and its \"up to 85.5\"\" rise and \"up to 80\"\" clearance are the range maxima — they belong to the taller models. The CL4P9S rises to 73.25\" at the top of the runway and gives 67.75\" of clearance in the top locked position. Those are the numbers to plan with.

It is not about vehicle weight — a compact car and a long-bed pickup can weigh the same — it is about whether the axles land on the runways at all. Measure your longest vehicle from front hub centre to rear hub centre and check it against that number before anything else.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eStorage clearance versus rise: two numbers, two jobs\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eA storage lift has two vertical measurements and buyers routinely use the wrong one. Rise, here 73.25\", is measured to the top of the runway and describes how high the lift takes the car; it is what you add your vehicle's roof height to when you are working out whether the ceiling will take the whole assembly. Clearance, here 67.75\" in the top locked position, is measured underneath and describes what will drive in below.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGet a tape and check the actual roof height of the car you intend to park beneath, including any roof rack or aerial, then leave yourself a working margin so you are not squeezing past a wing mirror every time. If your lower car is a tall SUV rather than a saloon, this is the calculation that decides whether the CL4P9S or one of the taller models in the range is the right buy.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eBuilt like the bigger models, sized like a garage\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eNothing has been cheapened to make the CL4P9S shorter. It uses the same commercial-grade formed runways as the rest of the range, the same adjustable lock ladders, and the same single-point manual lock release. The 9,000 lb models in this family also get larger columns and base plates than the 7,000 lb model, and the CL4P9S is one of them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAdjustable lock ladders deserve their own sentence, because they address the single most common installation headache: garage floors are rarely flat. Where fixed lock positions force an installer to shim the columns until the geometry agrees, adjustable ladders take up the discrepancy inside the mechanism, so all four locks engage together and the runways sit true on a floor that slopes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe lock release is single-point and manual — one control drops both column locks simultaneously rather than making a technician walk the lift releasing each in turn. And the whole lift runs without compressed air, so a home installation needs a suitable electrical circuit and nothing more.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eStorage today, service later\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe runways carry a built-in accessory rail. That is what stops a storage lift from being a one-trick purchase: a rolling jack mounts to the rail so a wheel can be raised clear of the runway for brake or tyre work, and oil drip trays slide into the same channel so the vehicle underneath stays clean. Both are sold separately, and adding either later needs no modification to the lift.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThe standard home garage\u003c\/strong\u003e that wants 9,000 lbs but cannot take a tall lift.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTwo-car stacking\u003c\/strong\u003e where the lower vehicle is a saloon, coupe or hatchback rather than a tall SUV.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLight-duty general service.\u003c\/strong\u003e Challenger positions this range for light-duty work, and it is honest about that.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCollectors\u003c\/strong\u003e who want a car locked safely in the air for months at a time with no air system to keep charged.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe complete CL4P9S lift: four columns, formed runways, crossbeams, adjustable lock ladders, the hydraulic power unit and the single-point lock release, powder coated.
