Challenger CL10-XP9-3 9,000 lb Two-Post Lift with Drive-On Express Pads for High-Volume Service Bays
The Challenger CL10-XP9-3 is a 9,000 lb capacity surface-mounted two-post lift engineered for high-volume express service operations. Featuring integrated drive-on express pads with flip-up ramps, this lift enables one-attempt vehicle spotting that eliminates arm-positioning time. The 3-foot column extension provides 176 inches overall height and 70 inches of rise, accommodating taller trucks and SUVs in facilities with higher ceilings. ALI Certified and ETL Listed with a 5-year structural warranty, the CL10-XP9-3 delivers the performance and reliability professional shops demand.
Challenger CL10-XP9-3 Features
Drive-On Express Pad Workflow
The XP9 configuration uses integrated drive-on express service pads that enable one-attempt vehicle spotting without manual arm positioning. Technicians simply drive vehicles onto the low-profile 2.25 inch platform height, eliminating the swing-arm adjustment steps required by traditional two-post lift designs. This streamlined workflow reduces per-vehicle cycle time in oil change stations, tire service centers, and quick-lube operations.
Adjustable Platform Length with Flip-Up Ramps
Platform length adjusts from 58 inches to 75 inches using integrated flip-up ramps, accommodating wheelbase variations across passenger cars, light trucks, and extended SUVs. The three-position adjustment (58", 66.5", and 75") eliminates the need for aftermarket wheelbase adapters and enables service facilities to handle a broader vehicle mix without workflow interruptions.
Extended Height Configuration
The 3-foot column extension brings overall height to 176 inches (14 ft 8 in) with a 70 inch rise height, serving facilities with higher ceilings that need full lift clearance for taller trucks and SUVs. This extended configuration improves ergonomics for undercar service by providing additional clearance for technicians working beneath raised vehicles.
Quick Cycle Performance System
The optional Quick Cycle system achieves 27-second rise time and 17-second descent, compared to 38 seconds standard rise time. This reduces vehicle-on-lift time by 11 seconds per cycle versus standard operation, directly increasing daily service capacity without additional bay construction. For facilities processing 40+ vehicles daily, the accumulated time savings translate to meaningful throughput gains.
Heavy-Duty Equalization System
The equalization system features an oversized 5 inch diameter pulley, heavy-duty 5/16 inch equalization cable, and 48 inch elongated carriage design. These specifications exceed standard two-post lift components, reducing cable stress and extending service intervals between cable replacement while providing additional stability for heavier vehicles.
ALI and ETL Dual Certification
The CL10-XP9-3 carries both ALI Gold Label certification (meeting ANSI/ALI ALCTV standards) and ETL listing from Intertek Testing Services. Challenger Lifts maintains active board membership with the Automotive Lift Institute, contributing to the development of industry safety standards. This dual certification ensures compliance with OSHA requirements and provides documentation for insurance compliance, building permits, and facility safety audits.
Challenger CL10-XP9-3 Applications
- Express Service Bays: Oil change stations, tire rotation centers, and quick-lube operations requiring rapid vehicle cycling and minimal setup time between services benefit from the drive-on express pad design.
- Tire Service Centers: High-volume tire installation, balancing, and rotation facilities processing passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs throughout the service day can maximize throughput with the optional Quick Cycle system.
- Brake Inspection and Service: Facilities performing brake pad replacement, rotor inspection, and brake system maintenance on vehicles up to 9,000 lb gain improved access with the extended rise height.
- Fleet Maintenance Facilities: Commercial operations maintaining mixed fleets of passenger vehicles, light trucks, and SUVs with consistent undercar service requirements benefit from the adjustable platform length.
- Dealership Service Departments: New and used car dealerships requiring efficient pre-delivery inspection, warranty service, and general maintenance operations can handle diverse vehicle inventory with a single lift configuration.
- Long Wheelbase Vehicles: Full-size trucks, crew cab pickups, and extended SUVs are easily accommodated using the 75 inch maximum platform length with flip-up ramps.
