Challenger CLHM-CB-32A Features
32,000 lb Heavy-Duty Capacity
The CLHM-CB-32A delivers a robust 32,000 lb (16 ton) lifting capacity when paired with your CLHM mobile columns. This capacity handles the demanding weight requirements of commercial trucks, transit vehicles, and heavy equipment that require frame rail support for safe servicing.
Frame Rail Lifting Design
Unlike standard wheel-engagement lifting, the cross-beam adapter supports vehicles directly by the frame rails. This design is essential for vehicles where wheel lifting is impractical or when technicians need full access to the undercarriage without tire interference.
Swivel Caster Portability
Equipped with four heavy-duty swivel casters, the adapter moves easily across your shop floor. Technicians can quickly position the cross-beam between columns and roll it into storage when not in use, maintaining a flexible and organized workspace.
Durable Steel Construction
Built with heavy-gauge steel and precision engineering, the CLHM-CB-32A meets Challenger's rigorous quality standards. The robust construction ensures reliable performance under maximum load conditions and years of demanding commercial use.
Quick Setup and Operation
The cross-beam adapter integrates seamlessly with your existing CLHM mobile column system. Position the adapter between a pair of columns, secure the vehicle's frame rails on the beam, and lift with confidence using your standard column controls.
American Engineering and Manufacturing
Designed and manufactured by Challenger Lifts in Louisville, Kentucky, the CLHM-CB-32A reflects decades of American lift engineering expertise. Challenger's commitment to quality ensures you receive a dependable accessory backed by domestic support and service.
