Challenger 4P14EFX Features
Industry-Leading 78" Rise Height
The 4P14EFX provides 78 inches of rise height, among the highest in the four post lift industry. This exceptional clearance gives technicians comfortable standing room for undercarriage work, transmission services, and exhaust system repairs without crouching or straining.
Heavy-Duty 14,000 lb Capacity
Rated at 14,000 lbs lifting capacity with hydraulic pressure at 2,800 PSI, this lift handles everything from passenger cars to full-size trucks, commercial vans, and fleet vehicles. The robust design ensures years of reliable service in high-volume shop environments.
20" Wide Runways with Louvered Approach Ramps
Extra-wide 20" runways provide confident drive-on positioning for vehicles of all sizes. The louvered approach ramps deliver superior traction even in wet conditions, preventing tire slip during loading and unloading operations.
14-Position Safety Lock System
The pneumatic lock release system features 14 locking positions allowing technicians to select the optimal ergonomic working height. This reduces fatigue during extended service procedures and increases productivity throughout the workday.
Solid Piece Column Construction
Challenger's solid piece column design provides exceptional structural rigidity and long-term durability. The 90.5" tall columns feature a powder coat finish for lasting corrosion resistance in demanding shop environments.
Alignment-Ready Design
