Challenger AR4115XAO Features

Industry-Leading 78" Rise Height

The AR4115XAO delivers the highest rise in the industry at 78", providing maximum headroom for technicians working underneath vehicles. Combined with a low-profile 7" runway height, this lift accommodates both low-clearance sports cars and taller trucks without sacrificing workspace below.

Complete Alignment Rack Package

This lift comes fully equipped with a professional alignment package including two 7,500 lb rolling jacks, internal air line system, flush-mount stainless steel turning radius gauges, 80" rear slip plates, multi-position work steps, and automatic wheel stops. Compatible with the latest imaging alignment systems for precise four-wheel alignments.

Open Front Design for Better Ergonomics

The open front configuration allows technicians to easily move around the vehicle frame and access front-end adjustment points without obstruction. This design improves workflow efficiency and reduces fatigue during extended alignment and service work.

Extra-Wide 22" Runways

All-new 22" wide runways with increased drive-through clearance accommodate wider vehicles and dual-tire configurations. The louvered approach ramps prevent wheel spin and provide superior traction compared to traditional diamond tread or abrasive surfaces.

17-Position Locking System

The improved lock design features 17 locking positions with single-point air-actuated release that disengages all column locks simultaneously. This allows technicians to quickly position the lift at the ideal ergonomic working height, maximizing productivity and minimizing fatigue.

Heavy-Duty Cable Lifting System

Built for longevity with 9.5" steel pulleys featuring Teflon bearings and 1/2" cable diameter. The offset wrapped column design, fully gusseted base plates, and UHMW internally encapsulated slide blocks ensure smooth operation and extended service life.

Why does the AR4115XAO have the highest rise in the industry?
