Challenger CL10-XP9-DPC 9,000 lb Two-Post Lift with Drive-On Pads for Express Service Bays
The Challenger CL10-XP9-DPC is a 9,000 lb capacity Versymmetric two-post automotive lift engineered specifically for high-volume express service applications. This ALI-certified and ETL-listed lift features a proprietary drive-on pad system with flip-up ramps and dual pendant controls that eliminate repositioning delays common with traditional arm-based lifts. The optional QuickCycle technology delivers 27-second rise and 17-second lower cycles, enabling 2-3 additional service slots per shift. With a standard 140-inch overall height fitting 12-foot ceilings and single-phase 208-230V power requirements, this lift installs in facilities where taller or three-phase equipment cannot. Backed by Challenger's comprehensive warranty with 5-year to lifetime coverage depending on components.
Challenger CL10-XP9-DPC Features
Drive-On Express Pad Configuration
The proprietary drive-on pad system features flip-up ramps with a low-profile 2.25-inch platform height that accommodates lowered vehicles and sports cars. The adjustable platform extends from 58 to 75 inches via lockable flip-up ramps, handling wheelbase variation without adapter changes or tools. This eliminates the 30-45 seconds of repositioning time typical with arm-based two-post lifts, enabling accurate first-try spotting regardless of vehicle configuration.
QuickCycle Technology
The optional QuickCycle configuration achieves 27-second rise and 17-second lower cycles compared to the standard 38-second rise timing on conventional two-post lifts. At a typical quick-lube volume of 40 vehicles per day, QuickCycle saves 22 minutes daily versus standard 50-second cycle lifts, translating to 2-3 additional service slots per 8-hour shift without adding equipment or staff.
Dual Pendant Control System
Unlike single-control competitors requiring technicians to walk between columns, this lift features dual pendant controls mounted on both columns. Combined with directSPOT technology, technicians can spot, lift, and lock from the most ergonomic position relative to vehicle approach angle. The single-point mechanical lock release operates both columns simultaneously from one side, further reducing movement during each service cycle.
Heavy-Duty Cable and Pulley System
Oversized 5-inch diameter pulleys reduce cable stress and extend component service life compared to 3-4 inch standard pulleys. The heavy-duty 5/16-inch cable diameter pairs with a 48-inch elongated carriage design to distribute load stress across the synchronization system. Challenger engineered this configuration specifically for 9,000 lb sustained use, extending service intervals and reducing maintenance costs in high-volume applications.
ALI and ETL Dual Certification
The lift holds Gold ALI certification confirming ANSI/ALI ALCTV safety requirements compliance, along with ETL listing demonstrating ANSI UL 201 electrical safety standards. These certifications provide the documentation needed for insurance compliance and regulatory approval in commercial jurisdictions where non-certified equipment risks policy cancellation and liability exposure.
Ceiling Height Flexibility
The standard configuration with 140-inch overall height (143 inches with cylinders extended) fits 12-foot ceiling environments common in quick-lube facilities and converted gas stations. Optional 2-foot or 3-foot column extensions increase total height to 164 or 176 inches for taller facilities. Single-phase 208-230V power requirement enables installation without three-phase industrial service.

Challenger CL10-XP9-DPC FAQ
What is the lifting capacity of the Challenger CL10-XP9-DPC?
The Challenger CL10-XP9-DPC has a rated lifting capacity of 9,000 lb (4,082 kg). This capacity handles most passenger cars, SUVs, crossovers, light trucks (1/2 ton and 3/4 ton non-diesel pickups), and commercial vans. Note that diesel pickup trucks often exceed 9,000 lb and should be weighed before lifting.
What ceiling height do I need for this lift?
The standard CL10-XP9-DPC requires a minimum 12-foot ceiling height with its 140-inch overall height (143 inches with cylinders extended). For taller facilities, optional 2-foot column extensions increase height to 164 inches, and 3-foot extensions reach 176 inches. Measure your ceiling clearance and account for any overhead obstructions before ordering.
What electrical power does the CL10-XP9-DPC require?
The lift operates on single-phase 208-230V electrical power, which is commonly available in most commercial and residential settings. This eliminates the need for expensive three-phase industrial electrical service required by some competitor lifts. A licensed electrician should install and verify the electrical supply before operation.
How fast does the lift raise and lower vehicles?
The standard configuration provides a 38-second rise time. With the optional QuickCycle upgrade, rise time drops to 27 seconds and lowering time is just 17 seconds. For high-volume shops performing 30+ lifts per day, QuickCycle can save over 20 minutes daily and enable 2-3 additional service slots per shift.
What is the drive-on pad system and how does it work?
The drive-on pad system replaces traditional swing arms with a platform that vehicles drive directly onto. The low 2.25-inch platform height accommodates lowered vehicles, and flip-up ramp extensions adjust the platform length from 58 to 75 inches to fit different wheelbases. This eliminates the repositioning time required with arm-based lifts when arms don't align perfectly on the first approach.
What warranty coverage comes with the CL10-XP9-DPC?
Challenger provides comprehensive warranty coverage including lifetime coverage on structural components (columns and carriages), 5 years on hydraulic cylinders and power unit, and 1 year on cables, pulleys, and wear components. Extended warranty may require authorized professional installation. See the warranty document for complete terms.
What certifications does this lift have?
The CL10-XP9-DPC holds Gold ALI certification confirming compliance with ANSI/ALI ALCTV safety requirements, plus ETL listing demonstrating ANSI UL 201 electrical safety standards. These certifications are required by many insurance carriers and commercial jurisdictions, and provide documentation for regulatory approval and liability protection.
Do I need professional installation?
Professional installation by an authorized Challenger dealer is recommended and may be required for extended warranty coverage. Proper installation ensures safe operation, optimal performance, and compliance with local regulations. Contact Garage Supply Guys for installation service options in your area.
What concrete requirements does the lift need?
The lift requires a minimum 4-inch thick concrete floor with 3,000 PSI compressive strength. Concrete must be properly cured and free of cracks or deterioration at anchor points. Reinforced concrete is recommended for commercial applications with heavy daily use. Anchor hardware is included with the lift.
How is the lift shipped and what do I need to unload it?
The lift ships via freight carrier on pallets to commercial addresses in the 48 contiguous United States with free shipping. A forklift or loading dock is required for unloading as the lift cannot be unloaded by hand. Inspect all packages for damage before signing the bill of lading and note any visible damage on the delivery receipt.
What is the QuickCycle option and is it worth the upgrade?
QuickCycle is an optional upgrade that reduces rise time from 38 seconds to 27 seconds and lowering time to 17 seconds. For shops performing 30+ lifts daily, this saves significant time that compounds across every service. At 40 vehicles per day, QuickCycle saves approximately 22 minutes daily versus standard cycle times, enabling 2-3 additional revenue-generating service slots per shift.
What vehicles can this lift accommodate?
The 9,000 lb capacity handles sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, SUVs, crossovers, 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton non-diesel pickups, and commercial and passenger vans. The adjustable 58-75 inch platform accommodates varying wheelbases. Diesel pickup trucks often exceed 9,000 lb capacity and should be weighed before lifting. Always verify vehicle weight before operation.
