Challenger CLHM-190W Features

Wireless Communication System

The CLHM-190W features a fully wireless communication system with 12 radio frequencies and a wide channel range to prevent interference from other equipment or nearby operations. This eliminates cables entirely, creating a clutter-free work environment without wires to connect, navigate around, roll over, or replace.

Wide Chassis Design

At 49" wide, the CLHM-190W's expanded chassis accommodates oversized commercial tires and dual-wheel configurations that standard mobile columns cannot handle. The adjustable wheel carriage adapts to tire diameters from 4" minimum to maximum sizes determined by tire diameter, providing exceptional versatility for mixed fleets.

Integrated Touch Screen Control

Each column features a built-in touch screen control console, allowing operators to control the entire system from any unit. Linear position transducers maintain precise synchronization across all columns, ensuring balanced lifting and maximum reliability during every operation.

Battery-Powered Mobility

Operating on 12-volt deep cycle batteries delivering 24-volt operation, the CLHM-190W requires no external power connections during use. The built-in 110-volt multi-stage charging system keeps columns ready for service, while the heavy-duty tow handle and spring-loaded wheels enable easy repositioning across the shop or yard.

Safety and Overload Protection

Integrated weight gauges at each column help prevent overloading and verify positive lock engagement before service begins. The 2,600 psi maximum hydraulic operating pressure provides ample power reserve, while the ALI/ETL certification confirms compliance with industry safety standards.

EV Service Ready

The CLHM-190W is designed to safely service electric and hybrid vehicles, with the capacity and precision controls needed for heavy EV platforms including electric buses, delivery trucks, and commercial fleet vehicles. The wireless operation also eliminates grounding concerns associated with cabled systems.

Challenger CLHM-190W FAQ

What is the lifting capacity of the CLHM-190W?

Each CLHM-190W column has a lifting capacity of 19,000 lb. When used as a set of 2, the combined capacity is 38,000 lb. A full set of 8 columns provides 152,000 lb total lifting capacity, suitable for large multi-axle commercial vehicles, buses, and heavy equipment.

What is the difference between the CLHM-190W and CLHM-190?

The CLHM-190W is the wide version of the CLHM-190. The 190W features a 49" width compared to 44.25" on the standard model, along with a larger footprint (705 sq in vs 560 sq in) and expanded wheel diameter range starting at 4" minimum instead of 5". This makes the 190W ideal for oversized commercial tires and dual-wheel configurations.

How does the wireless system work?

The CLHM-190W uses a wireless radio communication system with 12 available frequencies to prevent interference. Linear position transducers in each column maintain precise synchronization, while integrated touch screen consoles allow operation from any column. This eliminates all cables between units for a completely wireless work area.

What power source do the columns require?

The columns operate on 12-volt deep cycle batteries (2 per column) providing 26 VDC operation during lifting. No external power is required during use. Each column has a built-in multi-stage charging system requiring 122 VAC @ 60 Hz, 2.3 amps for recharging between uses.

What are the space requirements for using these lifts?

Minimum bay width is 14' 8" with 14' recommended. Bay length of 28' is recommended for full vehicle access. Ceiling height must accommodate the 157.125" overall height at full rise plus adequate clearance. The columns can be used on any solid, level surface indoors or outdoors.

Is the CLHM-190W ALI certified?

Yes, the CLHM-190W is both ALI (Automotive Lift Institute) and ETL certified, confirming it meets industry safety and performance standards for commercial automotive lifting equipment.

How many columns do I need for my application?

Column requirements depend on vehicle weight and configuration. Two columns provide 38,000 lb capacity with 32" max lift height. Four or more columns provide 69" max lift height and higher total capacity. For multi-axle vehicles, use one pair of columns per axle. Contact our equipment specialists for help sizing a system for your specific fleet.

What is included with the lift and what do I need to supply?

Each column includes the integrated touch screen console, charging system, tow handle, and adjustable wheel carriages. You will need to supply 12-volt deep cycle batteries (2 per column) and provide 120V outlets for charging. Optional accessories are available for specialty applications.

How is the lift shipped and delivered?

The CLHM-190W ships via freight to commercial addresses in the lower 48 states with free shipping. Each column weighs 1,575 lb, so a forklift or loading dock is required for unloading. Curbside delivery is standard. Inspect shipments for damage before signing the bill of lading.

Can these lifts be used outdoors?

Yes, the CLHM-190W can operate on any solid, level surface indoors or outdoors. The battery-powered operation means no external power connections are needed during use. This makes them ideal for fleet yards, outdoor service areas, and locations without permanent lift installations.

What maintenance is required?

Regular maintenance includes keeping batteries charged, inspecting hydraulic fluid levels, checking wheel carriages and forks for wear, and verifying proper operation of safety locks and synchronization systems. Refer to the operation manual for complete maintenance schedules and procedures.

Are the lifts suitable for electric vehicle service?

Yes, the CLHM-190W is EV Service Ready. The wireless design eliminates grounding concerns, and the high capacity handles heavy EV battery packs. These columns are suitable for electric buses, delivery trucks, and commercial EV fleet vehicles.
