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.
