Challenger CL10A-XP9 Two-Post Lift Overview
You're running an express bay. Every minute a vehicle sits on the ground waiting to get spotted is a minute you're not billing. The Challenger CL10A-XP9 is a 9,000 lb capacity two-post lift with a drive-on express pad that skips swing arm positioning entirely. Drive the vehicle on, flip the ramps, lift. Conventional single-point controls keep operation simple and direct.
This is the base configuration in the CL10A-XP9 lineup. Standard height, no extensions, no add-ons. Full 70-inch rise, ALI/ETL certification, and the same drive-on platform that runs across the entire series, all at the lowest entry point. Overall height is 140 inches (143 inches cylinder extended), fitting comfortably in 12-foot ceiling bays. The 2.25-inch low-profile platform clears vehicles with minimal ground clearance, and reinforced flip-up ramps lock at three lengths for different wheelbases. Need QuickCycle, dual pendants, or extensions? The CL10A-XP9 series has configurations for all of it.
Challenger built this platform for high-cycle durability. Elongated 48-inch carriage, oversized 5-inch pulleys, heavy-duty 5/16-inch equalization cables, and a pulley-less jacketed lock release that stays smooth over thousands of cycles. Premium powder coat handles chemical exposure and shop abuse. Need parts or support? Give us a call.
