Challenger CL4P9ER 50" Aluminum Extended Approach Ramps for 4-Post Lifts
The Challenger CL4P9ER Aluminum Extended Ramps provide a 50" approach length designed specifically for low-profile and lowered vehicles on your Challenger 4-post lift. Sold as a set of 2, these lightweight aluminum ramps replace the standard 36" ramps and deliver the extra length needed to safely load sports cars, imports, and other low-clearance vehicles without bottoming out. Compatible with the Challenger CL4P7 (7,000 lb capacity) and CL4P9 (9,000 lb capacity) 4-post lifts, the CL4P9ER ramps are an essential upgrade for any enthusiast or shop working with today's popular low-profile vehicles. Backed by Challenger's 90-day warranty on accessories.
Challenger CL4P9ER Features
50" Extended Approach Length
At 50" long, these extended ramps provide 14" of additional length over the standard 36" ramps that ship with Challenger 4-post lifts. The gentler incline angle means even the lowest sports cars and slammed vehicles can drive onto the runways without scraping or bottoming out on the ramp transition.
Lightweight Aluminum Construction
Built from durable aluminum, the CL4P9ER ramps are significantly lighter than steel alternatives. This makes them easy to remove, carry, and reinstall by a single person - a major advantage when you need to clear the ramps before raising the lift or when switching between standard and extended ramps.
Simple Stud-and-Slot Mounting
Installation is straightforward - simply place the two studs into the slotted holes on the runway ends. No tools, drilling, or permanent modifications are required. The ramps seat securely in place during loading and are designed to be removed before raising the lift.
Direct Fit for Challenger CL4P7 and CL4P9 Lifts
Engineered as a factory accessory, the CL4P9ER ramps are a direct replacement for the standard approach ramps on all Challenger CL4P7 (7,000 lb) and CL4P9 (9,000 lb) 4-post lift models, including the CL4P9S, CL4P9X, and CL4P9W variants. No adapters or modifications needed.
Safer Than Improvised Solutions
Many lift owners resort to placing boards or plywood in front of standard ramps to accommodate low vehicles - a cumbersome and unsafe practice. The CL4P9ER provides a proper, purpose-built solution that eliminates the risk of boards shifting or vehicles losing traction on makeshift ramp extensions.
Built by Challenger Lifts
Challenger Lifts is a leading American manufacturer based in Louisville, Kentucky, known for quality construction and innovative lift designs. The CL4P9ER is manufactured to the same standards as Challenger's ALI/ETL certified lift equipment, ensuring reliable performance and proper fit.
Challenger CL4P9ER Applications
- Low-Profile Sports Cars: Corvettes, Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and other sports cars with minimal ground clearance can safely drive onto the lift without risk of undercarriage damage.
- Lowered and Modified Vehicles: Cars with aftermarket lowering springs, coilovers, or air suspension in lowered mode benefit from the reduced ramp angle provided by the 50" extended approach.
- Home Garage Enthusiasts: DIY mechanics who store or service low-profile daily drivers and weekend cars on their Challenger 4-post lift get a safe, repeatable loading solution.
- Import Car Service Shops: Shops that frequently work on low-riding imports and tuner cars can equip their Challenger 4-post lifts with extended ramps to speed up vehicle loading.
- Vehicle Storage Facilities: Facilities using Challenger 4-post lifts for double-stacking vehicles can accommodate a wider range of car types, including low-clearance models that would not work with standard ramps.

The CL4P9ER extended ramps must be removed before raising the lift. These ramps are designed for vehicle loading only and are not secured for elevated operation. Always remove both ramps and set them aside before activating the lift.

Challenger CL4P9ER FAQ
What lifts are the CL4P9ER ramps compatible with?
The CL4P9ER extended ramps are designed exclusively for Challenger CL4P7 (7,000 lb capacity) and CL4P9 (9,000 lb capacity) 4-post lifts. This includes the CL4P9S, CL4P9X (extended height), and CL4P9W (extended width) variants. They are not compatible with other Challenger lift models or lifts from other manufacturers.
How much longer are these than the standard ramps?
The CL4P9ER ramps are 50" long, compared to the 36" standard aluminum ramps that come with the lift. That is an additional 14" of approach length, which creates a shallower ramp angle and makes it safe to load low-profile vehicles without bottoming out.
Do I need to remove the ramps before raising the lift?
Yes. The CL4P9ER ramps must be removed before raising the lift. They are designed for vehicle loading at ground level only and simply slide into the runway slots. Always remove both ramps and set them aside before activating the lift.
How do the CL4P9ER ramps install on the lift?
Installation is tool-free. Each ramp has two studs on the back end that slide into slotted holes at the end of the lift runways. Simply align the studs with the slots and push the ramp into position. The process takes seconds and can be done by one person.
What is the warranty on the CL4P9ER ramps?
The CL4P9ER is classified as an accessory under Challenger's warranty program and is covered for 90 days on functional parts. The warranty covers defective parts and is available to the original purchaser only. You must register the product at challengerlifts.com/register-your-lift for warranty validation.
How many ramps are included in a set?
The CL4P9ER is sold as a set of 2 ramps - one for each runway of the 4-post lift. You receive a complete pair ready to install on your lift.
How does this ship?
The CL4P9ER ships via UPS Standard Ground. Because these are lightweight aluminum ramps (not a full lift), no freight truck, forklift, or loading dock is required. The package is delivered directly to your address like any standard parcel.
Can I use these ramps with a non-Challenger 4-post lift?
No. The CL4P9ER ramps use a stud-and-slot mounting system specific to Challenger CL4P7 and CL4P9 series lifts. They will not fit lifts from other manufacturers or other Challenger lift models such as the 4P14 or 4015 series.
Are these ramps better than placing boards in front of the standard ramps?
Absolutely. Using boards or plywood in front of standard ramps is a common but unsafe workaround. Boards can shift, crack, or slip during loading, putting the vehicle and operator at risk. The CL4P9ER provides a purpose-built, properly angled approach surface that seats securely into the lift runways.
What types of vehicles need extended ramps?
Extended ramps are recommended for sports cars (Corvettes, Porsches, Ferraris), vehicles with aftermarket lowering kits, cars on coilovers or lowering springs, and any vehicle with reduced ground clearance that may scrape or bottom out on a standard 36" approach ramp.
Can I keep the standard ramps as a backup?
Yes. Since the CL4P9ER ramps use the same stud-and-slot mounting points as the standard 36" ramps, you can swap between them at any time. Many owners keep the standard ramps for trucks and SUVs and switch to the extended ramps when loading low-profile vehicles.
What other accessories are available for my Challenger 4-post lift?
Challenger offers a full range of accessories for the CL4P7 and CL4P9 lifts, including the CL4P9CS caster set for portability, CL4P9DT drip tray set to protect vehicles stored below, CL4P9JT 4,500 lb capacity jack tray for wheel service, CL4P9SR steel bolt-on pivoting ramps for drive-through applications, and the RJ4.5 rolling jack for free-wheel access.
