Challenger CL4P9W Features
Extra-Wide Configuration for Larger Vehicles
The CL4P9W wide model provides 127.25" overall width and 110" inside columns, offering significantly more room than standard models. This expanded width accommodates wider vehicles including full-size trucks, SUVs, and classic cars with extended mirrors or accessories, ensuring hassle-free positioning on the runways.
Maximum Rise and Storage Clearance
With an 85.5" service rise height at the top locked position and 80" storage clearance, the CL4P9W maximizes your vertical space utilization. Store a vehicle overhead while maintaining ample clearance underneath for a second vehicle, workshop activities, or additional storage.
Commercial-Grade Formed Runways
Heavy-duty formed runways provide a strong, stable platform with 20" runway width and 38" between runways. The built-in runway rail system accommodates optional accessories like rolling jacks and oil drip trays, adding versatility for service applications beyond simple storage.
Adjustable Lock Ladders
The adjustable lock ladder system allows for versatile installation with sensitivity to uneven floors. This feature ensures safe, secure locking at multiple height positions while accommodating real-world garage floor conditions that may not be perfectly level.
Single-Point Manual Lock Release
The convenient single-point manual lock release disengages all column locks simultaneously, streamlining the lowering process. This intuitive safety feature ensures consistent, controlled operation every time you need to bring a vehicle down from storage.
Enhanced Stability with Larger Components
The 9,000 lb models feature larger columns and base plates compared to the 7K series, providing enhanced stability and load distribution. Combined with 8' 0.5" column height and robust construction, the CL4P9W handles heavy vehicles with confidence.
Challenger CL4P9W Applications
- Home Garage Vehicle Storage: Perfect for enthusiasts who need to store collector cars, seasonal vehicles, or project cars overhead while keeping a daily driver accessible underneath. The wide configuration handles full-size trucks and SUVs with ease.
- Multi-Vehicle Collectors: Maximize your garage capacity by doubling your parking space. The 80" storage clearance allows comfortable access beneath the raised vehicle for a second car or workspace.
- Commercial Vehicle Storage Facilities: ALI/ETL certified for commercial use, the CL4P9W provides reliable long-term storage for dealerships, rental agencies, and vehicle storage businesses.
- Light-Duty Service and Maintenance: The built-in runway rail system and optional rolling jacks transform this storage lift into a capable service platform for oil changes, inspections, and light maintenance tasks.
- Wide Vehicle Applications: The extra-wide 110" inside column spacing accommodates dual-rear-wheel trucks, vehicles with wide body kits, and classic cars with extended side mirrors that would be tight on standard-width lifts.
