Challenger CL10-XP9-2-DPC-QC 9,000 lb Quick Cycle Two-Post Lift for Express Service Bays
The Challenger CL10-XP9-2-DPC-QC delivers 9,000 lb capacity in a drive-on express pad configuration engineered for high-volume express service bays and quick-lube facilities. Featuring proprietary Quick Cycle hydraulic technology with 27-second rise times, dual pendant controls for operational flexibility, and a 2-foot column extension providing 164" total height, this lift handles passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs with ease. The drive-on express pads eliminate arm positioning steps, reducing total cycle time to 35-45 seconds per vehicle. ALI Gold Label certified and ETL listed for commercial safety compliance. Backed by Challenger's comprehensive warranty.
Challenger CL10-XP9-2-DPC-QC Features
Quick Cycle Technology - 27-Second Rise Time
Quick Cycle hydraulic technology delivers 27-second rise times and 17-second lowering times - 40% faster than standard two-post lifts requiring 38-45 seconds. Optimized hydraulic flow rates and cylinder sizing achieve this performance while maintaining smooth, controlled operation throughout the full 70" rise height. In high-volume environments performing 40-50 services daily, this speed advantage enables 2-3 additional service appointments without extending operating hours.
Drive-On Express Pad Configuration
The drive-on express pad design features 2.25" low-profile platforms with flip-up locking ramps extending to adjustable lengths (58", 66.5", or 75"). Vehicles drive directly onto the lifting platforms, eliminating the need to position individual swing arms under frame rails. This reduces per-vehicle setup time by 30-60 seconds and minimizes training requirements for new technicians, dropping total vehicle-to-working-height time from 90-120 seconds to just 35-45 seconds.
Dual Pendant Control System (DPC)
The dual pendant power control system provides two independent pendant controllers that plug into either the power column or idler column. Technicians can operate the lift from the driver side or passenger side, choosing the optimal viewing position for safe vehicle spotting. This eliminates 8-12 steps per cycle, reducing unnecessary technician walking by 320-480 steps daily (0.15-0.25 miles), improving both productivity and comfort during extended shifts.
ALI Gold Label and ETL Certified Safety
The lift carries both ALI Gold Label certification and ETL listing, confirming compliance with ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2017 and ANSI/UL 201 safety standards. These third-party certifications verify that design, materials, and construction meet nationally recognized standards for commercial automotive lifting equipment. This ensures regulatory compliance from installation, satisfying both municipal permit requirements and commercial insurance policy conditions.
48-Inch Elongated Carriage Design
The carriage assembly measures 48" in length - 6-12" longer than competing 9,000 lb lifts in the 36-42" range. This extended length distributes lifting load across a greater surface area on the column slide tracks, reducing contact pressure at each bearing point by 15-20%. Lower contact pressure extends time-to-overhaul by 1-2 years in high-throughput applications, deferring major maintenance costs and reducing unplanned downtime events.
Heavy-Duty Cable and Sheave System
The synchronization system uses 5" diameter oversized sheaves paired with 5/16" (8mm) synchronizer cables - exceeding standard specifications of 4" sheaves with 1/4" cables. The larger sheave diameter reduces cable bending stress by 25%, while the thicker cable provides 56% greater tensile strength. This extends Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) from 5-7 years to 8-10+ years in high-volume operations.

Always verify the actual weight of the vehicle before lifting and ensure proper positioning on the drive-on pads.
What ceiling height do I need for this lift?
The CL10-XP9-2-DPC-QC requires a minimum ceiling height of 13'3" to 13'9" for proper operation. The lift includes a 2-foot column extension that provides 164" total height. Measure your ceiling height before ordering and account for any obstructions such as lighting, ductwork, or sprinkler systems.
What are the electrical requirements?
This lift requires 208-230V, single phase, 60Hz power supply for the 2 HP motor. A licensed electrician should install a dedicated circuit meeting local electrical codes. The specific amperage requirements are detailed in the installation manual. Ensure your facility can provide adequate power before ordering.
How fast does the lift raise and lower vehicles?
The Quick Cycle hydraulic system provides a 27-second rise time and 17-second lowering time - approximately 40% faster than standard two-post lifts. Combined with the drive-on express pads that eliminate arm positioning, total vehicle-to-working-height time is reduced to 35-45 seconds, significantly improving throughput in express service environments.
Do I need professional installation?
Professional installation by qualified technicians is strongly recommended and may be required for full warranty coverage. Proper installation ensures safe operation, optimal performance, and compliance with ALI certification standards. Incorrect installation can void warranty coverage and create safety hazards. Contact us for installation service options in your area.

Lead time is typically 5-10 business days plus transit time. Inspect all packages for damage before signing the Bill of Lading and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
What makes this lift different from standard two-post lifts?
The CL10-XP9-2-DPC-QC is specifically engineered for high-volume express service environments. Key differences include: Quick Cycle hydraulics (40% faster than standard), drive-on express pads (no arm positioning needed), dual pendant controls (operate from either side), 48" elongated carriages (reduced wear), and heavy-duty 5" sheaves with 5/16" cables (extended service life).
What certifications does this lift have?
The CL10-XP9-2-DPC-QC carries both ALI Gold Label certification (ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2017) and ETL listing (ANSI/UL 201). These third-party certifications verify compliance with nationally recognized safety standards for commercial automotive lifting equipment. Most US commercial building codes and insurance underwriters require ALI certification for new lift installations.
What concrete specifications are required?
The lift requires a minimum 4" thick reinforced concrete floor with at least 3,000 PSI compressive strength. The concrete must be fully cured and free of cracks or voids at anchor locations. Proper anchor bolt installation is critical for safe operation. If your concrete doesn't meet these specifications, remediation may be required before installation.
How often does this lift need maintenance?
Regular maintenance extends lift life and ensures safe operation. Recommended maintenance includes daily visual inspections, monthly lubrication of moving parts, quarterly cable and safety lock inspections, and annual professional service.
