Challenger CL10V3-DPC-QC Features
Versymmetric Technology
Challenger's exclusive Versymmetric offset front arms provide the flexibility to safely lift vehicles both symmetrically and asymmetrically within the same service bay. This dual capability maximizes your service potential and revenue by accommodating the widest range of vehicle types without requiring multiple lift configurations.
Quick Cycle Technology
The Quick Cycle system powered by a 3HP motor delivers exceptional speed with a 27-second rise and 17-second descent. This dramatically faster cycle time compared to standard models significantly boosts your shop's service throughput and reduces customer wait times during high-volume service periods.
directSPOT 3-Stage Arms
The industry-first directSPOT design features 3-stage front arms (20" - 42" reach) and 3-stage rear arms (37.625" - 60" reach) that eliminate the need to shuffle vehicles back and forth. Swing the front arm clear of the tire to reach recommended lift points on the first try, boosting productivity and reducing technician frustration.
Dual Pendant Controls
Conveniently operate the lift from either side of the vehicle with dual pendant controls. This configuration improves workflow efficiency by allowing technicians to raise or lower the lift from whichever position is most convenient during the service process.
Heavy-Duty Equalization System
An oversized 5" diameter pulley combined with heavy-duty 5/16" cable reduces stress on the equalization system and significantly extends cable life. The 48" elongated carriage design further increases overall lift longevity for years of reliable service.
Premium Safety and Protection Features
Standard features include a padded overhead shut-off system to prevent vehicle damage, dual integrated rubber door guards to protect vehicle panels, and plated arm restraints and pins that inhibit rust. The pulley-less jacketed single-point lock release ensures smooth, easy operation with extended service life.

What is the lifting capacity of the Challenger CL10V3-DPC-QC?
The Challenger CL10V3-DPC-QC has an ALI-Certified lifting capacity of 10,000 lb, making it suitable for passenger cars, SUVs, crossovers, and light trucks within the weight rating.
What ceiling height do I need for this lift?
The standard configuration requires a minimum 12' ceiling height. The overall height is 11' 2" or 11' 8" with the cylinder retracted and 11' 11" with the cylinder fully extended. For shops with higher ceilings, optional 2' or 3' height extensions are available.
What electrical power is required?
The CL10V3-DPC-QC Quick Cycle model requires a 3HP motor powered by 208V - 230V, single phase (1Ph), 60Hz electrical supply. A licensed electrician should verify your facility's electrical capacity and install an appropriate circuit.
How fast does the Quick Cycle lift operate?
The Quick Cycle technology provides a rise time of just 27 seconds and a descent time of only 17 seconds, significantly faster than the standard 38-second rise time on non-Quick Cycle models.
What is Versymmetric technology?
Versymmetric is Challenger's exclusive technology that allows the lift to safely accommodate both symmetric and asymmetric vehicle positioning within the same service bay. This provides maximum flexibility for servicing different vehicle types without reconfiguring the lift.
What does the warranty cover?
Challenger provides a comprehensive warranty including 5 years on structural parts (columns, carriages, arms, beams), 2 years on functional parts (power unit, cylinders, cables, valves), and 1 year on labor. Warranty registration at challengerlifts.com is required for activation.
What is included with the lift purchase?
The lift includes complete column assemblies, 3-stage front and rear arms, dual pendant controls, Quick Cycle power unit, overhead beam with padded shut-off, double telescoping screw pads, rubber door guards, equalization cables, anchor bolts, and the installation manual.

A minimum 4" thick concrete floor with 3,000 PSI compressive strength is recommended. The concrete must be fully cured, structurally sound, and free of cracks. Refer to the installation manual for specific anchor bolt specifications and placement requirements.
What makes the directSPOT arm design different?
The directSPOT design uses 3-stage front arms (20" - 42" reach) and 3-stage rear arms (37.625" - 60" reach) that eliminate the need to drive vehicles back and forth to position arms. This allows technicians to swing arms clear of tires and reach lift points accurately on the first try.
