The Challenger CLHM-HTJ-1000 Hi-Rise Transmission Jack delivers 1,000 lb lifting capacity with an innovative two-stage lifting system designed for professional transmission service. The first stage operates on 100% air power for rapid positioning, while the second stage uses hydraulic control for precise, smooth final adjustments.

Backed by Challenger's reputation for American-engineered quality and durability.
Challenger CLHM-HTJ-1000 Features
Two-Stage Air/Hydraulic Lifting System
The CLHM-HTJ-1000 features an innovative two-stage design that combines the best of both worlds. The first stage is 100% air-operated for fast, effortless raising to working height. The second stage switches to hydraulic power for smooth, precise control during final positioning and mating with the transmission housing.
Four Quick-Ratcheting Brackets
The adjustable head plate features four quick-ratcheting brackets that make securing different transmission shapes fast and easy. This flexible mounting system accommodates a wide variety of transmission configurations without the need for additional adapters or time-consuming adjustments.
Heavy-Duty Acme Threaded Screws
Challenger equipped this transmission jack with heavy-duty acme threaded adjustment screws that provide a larger bearing surface than standard threads. This design delivers smoother, easier tilt adjustments and improved durability under daily use in professional shop environments.
Swivel Casters for Easy Maneuverability
High-quality swivel casters allow technicians to easily roll and position the jack under vehicles and around the shop floor. The smooth-rolling design reduces physical strain and speeds up the transmission service process.
Nylon Speed Strap Included
A nylon speed strap comes standard with the CLHM-HTJ-1000, allowing technicians to quickly and securely fasten the transmission to the head plate. This simple but effective accessory prevents shifting or slipping during removal and installation.
Hi-Rise Design for Lift Compatibility
The hi-rise configuration of the CLHM-HTJ-1000 is specifically designed to work with vehicles on two-post and four-post lifts. The extended height range ensures proper access to transmissions at typical lift working heights, making it ideal for shops with in-ground or above-ground lift equipment.
