Backed by Challenger's reputation for American-made quality and durability.
Challenger CLHM-MR30 Features
100% Air-Operated Lifting System
The CLHM-MR30 operates entirely on compressed air up to 160 PSI, eliminating the need for electrical connections at the lift point. This pneumatic design provides reliable, maintenance-free operation with smooth, controlled lifting action for years of worry-free service.
Built-In Vehicle Support Stands
Integrated support stand features allow you to safely secure the vehicle at the desired height, providing complete open access under the vehicle for servicing. Work confidently knowing the vehicle is properly supported while performing maintenance, repairs, or inspections.
Low Ceiling Compatible Design
With an overall height range of 58 3/4" minimum to 88 3/4" maximum, this wheel lift system fits shops where traditional lifts cannot. The 30" stroke provides ample working height while keeping the system compact enough for space-constrained environments.
Portable Two-Unit Configuration
The system consists of two individual lifts that work together to raise one end of a vehicle at a time. This portable design eliminates the need for a dedicated lift bay, allowing you to service vehicles anywhere in your shop or even outdoors.
Wide Wheel Diameter Range
Accommodate a broad range of vehicles with wheel diameter compatibility from 16" minimum (with adapters) or 19" minimum (without adapters) up to 44" maximum. This versatility makes the CLHM-MR30 suitable for everything from passenger vehicles to heavy trucks and equipment.
Heavy-Duty 30,000 lb Capacity
Built for demanding commercial applications, the CLHM-MR30 handles vehicles up to 30,000 lb. The robust construction and generous capacity make it ideal for fleet service, truck maintenance, and heavy equipment work where lighter lifts fall short.
Challenger CLHM-MR30 Applications
- Low Ceiling Shops: Perfect for service facilities with limited overhead clearance where traditional two-post or four-post lifts cannot be installed due to height restrictions.
- Fleet Maintenance Facilities: Ideal for truck fleets, delivery vehicles, and commercial vehicle service where high-capacity portable lifting is needed across multiple service areas.
- Major Component Removal: Provides the access and capacity needed for transmission, differential, and drivetrain work on heavy vehicles without requiring a full-size pit or drive-on lift.
- Mobile and Outdoor Service: The portable, air-powered design allows operation anywhere with compressed air access, making it suitable for outdoor work areas and mobile service operations.
- Aerodynamic Vehicle Service: Eliminates the need to remove side skirts, aerodynamic panels, and ground effects that can interfere with traditional lift arm positioning.
