Challenger CLHM-CB-15 Cross Beam Adapter for CLHM Mobile Column Lifts

Mobile column lifts grab vehicles by the wheels. That works for most service, but when you need to lift by the frame rails, you need a cross beam. The Challenger CLHM-CB-15 is a 15" cross beam adapter that spans between a pair of CLHM heavy-duty mobile columns, converting your wheel-engaging setup into a frame-rail lifting configuration for vehicles and equipment that can't be safely supported at the wheels alone.

This is the 15" version of Challenger's cross beam adapter family. At 15", the CLHM-CB-15 provides a compact beam profile for applications where the wider CLHM-CB-32A (32,000 lb capacity) is either too large for the frame-rail spacing or more capacity than the job requires. Sold as a pair, one cross beam per pair of columns, the CLHM-CB-15 gives your mobile column system frame-rail lifting capability without permanently occupying floor space or requiring a dedicated fixed lift.

Challenger's CLHM accessory line is what makes their mobile columns genuinely versatile. Between the cross beam adapters, cab-off adapters (CLHM-CA-15), end lift adapters (CLHM-ELA-90A), forklift adapters (CLHM-FLA), and king pin adapters, you can reconfigure the same set of columns for completely different vehicle types and lifting scenarios. The CLHM-CB-15 adds another option to that toolkit. One important note: CLHM accessories are not compatible with the CLMM-5000 medium-duty or CLHM-125-XF mobile column lifts.

Applications

Frame-Rail Lifting

Vehicles and equipment that require frame-rail support instead of wheel engagement. The cross beam spans between a pair of mobile columns and contacts the frame rails directly, distributing the load across the beam.

Heavy-Duty Truck and Transit Service

Commercial trucks, transit buses, and municipality vehicles with accessible frame rails benefit from cross beam lifting when wheel-engaging forks can't safely support the vehicle or when undercar access requires the wheels to hang free.

Cab-Off and Drivetrain Work

Frame-rail lifting provides stable support for cab removal, engine pulls, and transmission R&R on trucks where the frame needs to remain stationary while heavy components are removed from above or below.

Narrow Frame-Rail Spacing

The 15" beam profile fits applications where the wider CLHM-CB-32A cross beam exceeds the available frame-rail spacing. Call to confirm the CLHM-CB-15 matches your vehicle's frame dimensions before ordering.

Warranty

Challenger Lifts provides a limited warranty to the original purchaser covering repair or replacement of defective parts, including reasonable labor and transportation costs. The product must be installed, used, and maintained according to Challenger's official specifications. Cross beams are classified as structural parts under Challenger's warranty terms.

Coverage applies to products installed within the United States and Canada and is not transferable. Exclusions include normal wear and tear, damage from misuse or improper installation, and repairs performed by unauthorized service representatives. Use of unapproved parts or accessories voids coverage.

Warranty registration may be required after purchase. Refer to included documentation for details.

Questions Before You Buy?

Call our team at (855) 498-2147 to confirm the CLHM-CB-15 fits your CLHM column configuration, compare the 15" beam against the CLHM-CB-32A, or discuss which cross beam adapter matches your frame-rail spacing and capacity requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Challenger mobile column lifts are compatible with the CLHM-CB-15?

The CLHM-CB-15 is compatible with Challenger's CLHM heavy-duty mobile column lifts, including the CLHM-140 (14,000 lb per column) and CLHM-190 (19,000 lb per column). It is not compatible with the CLMM-5000 medium-duty mobile columns or the CLHM-125-XF extended fork model. Confirm your specific CLHM configuration before ordering.

What's the difference between the CLHM-CB-15 and the CLHM-CB-32A?

The CLHM-CB-32A is Challenger's larger cross beam adapter with a 32,000 lb capacity, 720 lb shipping weight, and dimensions of 24.75" wide by 144" high by 40" deep. The CLHM-CB-15 is the 15" version, offering a more compact beam profile for narrower frame-rail spacing or lighter-duty frame-rail lifting applications. Call us to discuss which cross beam fits your specific vehicle fleet and frame dimensions.

How many cross beams do I need?

The CLHM-CB-15 is sold as a pair, which provides 2 cross beams. Each cross beam spans between one pair of columns. To lift a vehicle by the frame rails, you typically position one cross beam under the front of the frame and one under the rear, each supported by a pair of mobile columns. This means you need 4 mobile columns and 1 pair of cross beams for a standard frame-rail lift setup.

Can I use the cross beam on passenger vehicles and pickup trucks?

Challenger's cross beam adapter documentation for the CB-32A explicitly states it does not work on passenger vehicles, including pickup trucks and SUVs. The same restriction likely applies to the CLHM-CB-15. Cross beam adapters are designed for heavy-duty vehicles with accessible commercial-grade frame rails. Call us to confirm whether the CLHM-CB-15 is appropriate for your vehicle type.

Does the cross beam have casters for mobility?

The CLHM-CB-32A is equipped with four swivel casters for portability around the shop floor. Call us to confirm whether the CLHM-CB-15 includes the same caster configuration, as the smaller beam profile may use a different mobility setup.

Can I mix cross beam sizes on the same vehicle?

Using different cross beam sizes on the front and rear of the same vehicle is not a standard recommended practice. Frame-rail lifting requires consistent, level support at both ends. If your vehicle has different frame-rail spacing at the front and rear, call us to discuss the best adapter configuration for your specific application.

What other CLHM accessories can I use alongside the cross beam?

Challenger's CLHM accessory line includes the CLHM-CA-15 cab-off adapter (1,500 lb, set of 2), CLHM-ELA-90A end lift adapter (9,000 lb per column), CLHM-FLA forklift adapter (15,000 lb), king pin adapters, and differential adapters. Each serves a different lifting scenario. The cross beam handles frame-rail work; swap to a different adapter when the job changes.

Is the CLHM-CB-15 covered under Challenger's warranty?

Yes. Challenger classifies cross beams as structural parts under their limited warranty, which provides the longest coverage tier. The warranty covers repair or replacement of defective parts for the original purchaser. The product must be installed and used per Challenger's specifications. Registration may be required after purchase.
