Challenger CLHM-HTCJ-2000 Features

Two-Stage Air/Hydraulic Design

The CLHM-HTCJ-2000 features an innovative two-stage lifting system. The first stage operates on 100% air power for rapid positioning, while the second stage uses air/hydraulic operation for precise control during final positioning. This combination dramatically increases productivity by delivering both speed and accuracy in a single unit.

360-Degree Rotating Head with Tilt

The large head plate features 360-degree rotation and 30-degree fore and aft tilting capability. This extensive range of motion allows technicians to position transmissions at virtually any angle, making installation and removal easier and safer. The Acme threaded head plate provides smooth, precise adjustments.

Low 30" Start Height

Designed to maneuver under low obstructions, the 30" starting height allows the jack to fit beneath vehicles on low-rise lifts, drive-on racks, or even floor jacks. This low profile combined with the 72" maximum height provides exceptional versatility across different lift configurations.

Quick-Ratcheting Brackets

Four quick-ratcheting brackets make the head plate flexible and easy to configure for different transmission sizes and shapes. The brackets adjust rapidly to secure the load, reducing setup time and improving workflow efficiency in busy service environments.

Lockable and Steerable Casters

Heavy-duty lockable and steerable casters provide excellent maneuverability throughout the shop. The casters lock securely in place during lifting operations for maximum stability, then unlock for easy repositioning between jobs.

Retractable Tow Handle

The retractable tow handle makes moving the jack around the shop quick and convenient. When not in use, the handle retracts out of the way, keeping the workspace clear and preventing trip hazards.
