Challenger CLHM-190 Features

Wireless Mobile Column System

The CLHM-190 features a completely wireless design that eliminates cables between columns, creating a clutter-free work area. 12 radio frequencies with a wide channel range prevent radio noise from interrupting service operations. This wireless architecture means no cables to connect, navigate around, roll over, or replace over time.

Integrated Touch Screen Control

Each column includes an integrated touch screen control console allowing operation from any unit in the system. This distributed control approach lets technicians operate the lift from the most convenient position regardless of vehicle size or configuration, improving workflow efficiency.

Linear Position Transducers

Advanced linear position transducers maintain precise system synchronization across all columns, ensuring maximum reliability and safe, level lifting. This technology monitors column position in real-time, automatically adjusting to keep heavy loads balanced throughout the lifting cycle.

Battery-Powered Operation

The CLHM-190 operates on 12-volt deep cycle batteries providing 24-volt operation, eliminating the need for power source hookups during use. The 110-volt built-in multi-stage charging system keeps batteries topped off between jobs, ensuring the columns are always ready for the next vehicle.

Integrated Weight Gauges

Built-in weight gauges at each column help prevent overloading and verify lock engagement. Technicians can monitor load distribution in real-time, ensuring safe operation and proper weight balance across all active columns in the system.

Easy Mobility and Maneuverability

A precision balanced design combined with a heavy-duty tow handle and spring-loaded wheels provides easy mobility. With a 47" turning radius and the ability to operate on almost any solid surface, these columns can be quickly repositioned throughout your facility as needed.
