Challenger AR4115XAX - 15,000 lb Closed-Front Extended-Length Alignment Rack Package
The Challenger AR4115XAX delivers 15,000 lb lifting capacity in a closed-front, extended-length 4-post alignment rack configuration, engineered for professional automotive service shops, dealerships, and fleet service centers. Featuring a 78-inch rise height, 210-inch maximum wheelbase capacity, and a complete alignment package with dual 7,500 lb rolling jacks, this ALI/ETL certified lift handles vehicles from passenger cars to medium-duty trucks and vans.
Key Features & Benefits
Extended-Length Runway Design for Long-Wheelbase Vehicles
The AR4115XAX features 275.5 inches of overall length with a maximum wheelbase capacity of 210 inches. This extended configuration accommodates full-size trucks, cargo vans, and fleet vehicles that standard-length alignment racks cannot properly service.
Many shops lose alignment work on long-wheelbase vehicles because their existing equipment can't handle the extended dimensions. The AR4115XAX addresses this limitation by providing the runway length needed for full-size pickups, Sprinter-class vans, and commercial fleet vehicles without requiring additional equipment investment.
This enables shops to capture a broader range of alignment work from a single piece of equipment, expanding service capabilities and revenue potential without dedicating additional bay space to specialty lifts.
Complete Alignment Rack Package Included
The AR4115XAX ships as a complete alignment rack package with two RJ7.5 rolling jacks (7,500 lb capacity each), internal airline kit, flush-mount stainless steel turning radius gauges, free-floating rear slip plates, turn plate bridges, multi-position work steps, and automatic wheel stops. All alignment-ready components are included at purchase.
Base 4-post deck models require separate accessory purchases for alignment capability, adding cost and complexity to the buying process. The AR designation indicates this package bundles all necessary components, eliminating the need to source rolling jacks, turn plates, and slip plates separately.
This reduces procurement complexity and ensures all components are factory-matched for proper fit and function. Shops receive everything needed for alignment service in a single shipment rather than coordinating multiple orders from different suppliers.
78-Inch Rise Height for Maximum Technician Clearance
The AR4115XAX provides 78 inches of rise height combined with a lowered runway height of 7 inches. This combination maximizes usable working clearance beneath the vehicle while maintaining a low drive-on profile for easy vehicle loading.
Insufficient rise height forces technicians to work in awkward positions during extended undercar service sessions, increasing fatigue and reducing productivity. The 78-inch rise allows most technicians to stand upright beneath the vehicle without hunching or crouching.
This improves ergonomics during alignment procedures, brake service, suspension work, and general undercar inspection. Reduced physical strain helps maintain technician productivity throughout the workday and supports long-term workplace health.
17-Position Locking System with Single-Point Air Release
The lift features 17 locking positions with automatic engagement and a single-point air-actuated lock release that disengages all four columns simultaneously. This system provides fine height adjustment while streamlining the raise and lower cycle.
Traditional multi-lock systems require technicians to manually release each column individually, adding time to every height adjustment. The single-point air release eliminates this step, allowing faster transitions between working heights without walking around the lift.
This enables quicker vehicle positioning and more efficient workflow during busy service days. The 17 locking positions provide flexibility to set the optimal working height for different vehicle types and service procedures.
Closed-Front Enclosed Column Design
The AR4115XAX uses a closed-front configuration with enclosed columns and crossbeams. Internal components are protected from debris, and the streamlined profile presents a clean appearance in the service bay.
Open-front and exposed-column designs allow dirt, oil, and shop debris to accumulate on internal mechanisms, potentially affecting long-term reliability. The enclosed design shields cables, pulleys, and other components from contamination while simplifying cleaning around the lift.
This improves bay aesthetics and reduces maintenance requirements associated with debris buildup on exposed components. The clean sightlines also enhance technician visibility when positioning vehicles on the runways.
ALI/ETL Dual Certification
The AR4115XAX carries both ALI Gold Label certification (Automotive Lift Institute) and ETL listing for ANSI/UL 201 compliance. The lift is designed per ANSI/ALI ALCTV for construction, testing, and validation, and per ANSI/ALI ALOIM for operation, inspection, and maintenance.
Commercial shops, fleet operations, and dealerships increasingly require certified lift equipment for insurance compliance, customer audits, and jurisdictional regulations. Third-party certification provides documented verification that the lift meets established safety and performance standards.
This eliminates compliance questions during facility inspections and customer due diligence reviews. The dual certification demonstrates commitment to safety standards that many commercial and fleet customers require from their service providers.
Applications & Use Cases
