Challenger CLHM-CA-15 Cab-Off Adapter 1,500 lb Capacity for Mobile Column Lifts
The Challenger CLHM-CA-15 Cab-Off Adapter is an American-made accessory designed to safely lift truck cabs off frames using your existing Challenger CLHM mobile column lift system. This set of 2 adapters features adjustable 3" and 6" stackable height adapters that accommodate both 2-door and 4-door pickup trucks. Each adapter pair supports up to 1,500 lb, providing ample capacity for standard pickup truck cabs including Ford F-Series, Ram, and GM Silverado/Sierra platforms. An integrated safety chain system adds secondary restraint during cab-off procedures, and the entire set is backed by Challenger's 90-day warranty.
Challenger CLHM-CA-15 Features
Adjustable Height System
The CLHM-CA-15 includes 3-inch and 6-inch stackable height adapters that can be combined to achieve different lift point engagement heights. This adjustability allows technicians to reach tricky lift points on various truck models, ensuring proper contact with cab mounting points regardless of vehicle configuration.
Integrated Safety Chain System
Cab-off procedures involve elevating several hundred pounds of vehicle cab above technicians working below. The built-in safety chain system provides secondary restraint against unexpected movement, eliminating the need for separate safety equipment and ensuring the restraint is purpose-matched to the adapter's load capacity.
1,500 lb Load Capacity
Each adapter pair is rated for 1,500 lb, specifically sized for standard pickup truck cab weights. This capacity provides adequate safety margin for cab-off service procedures on popular truck platforms while maintaining the structural integrity required for professional service operations.
2-Door and 4-Door Truck Compatibility
The adjustable-length design accommodates both regular cab (2-door) and crew cab (4-door) pickup trucks. Width adjustability ensures proper positioning regardless of cab size, making this a versatile solution for shops servicing diverse truck fleets.
Seamless CLHM Integration
Engineered specifically for Challenger CLHM 14K and 19K mobile column lift systems, this adapter ensures seamless integration with existing Challenger equipment investments. The precision-matched interface eliminates compatibility guesswork and provides reliable, repeatable performance.
American Manufacturing Quality
Built in Louisville, Kentucky, the CLHM-CA-15 reflects Challenger's commitment to American-made quality and engineering excellence. Heavy-duty steel construction ensures durability through years of professional use in demanding service environments.
