Challenger CLMM-5000 Features

Wireless Column Communication

The CLMM-5000 features advanced wireless connectivity between all columns, eliminating the cable clutter and tripping hazards associated with traditional mobile column lifts. This wireless system enables faster setup times and creates a safer working environment by keeping your shop floor clear of obstructions.

Rechargeable Battery Power

Each column operates on a 24 VDC rechargeable battery system with a 4HP peak operating power. The included charger works with standard 120-240 VAC @ 50-60 Hz outlets, drawing only 2.8 amps. No compressed air supply is required, giving you complete freedom to position and operate the lift anywhere in your facility.

Universal Wheel Engagement

The adjustable fork system accommodates wheel diameters from 6" to 22", allowing you to service a wide range of vehicles from compact cars to medium-duty trucks. The heavy-duty forks securely engage rubber-tired wheels for safe, stable lifting.

Effortless Mobility

Built-in tow handles and spring-loaded wheels make maneuvering each 870 lb column effortless across any solid surface. The 50.5" turning radius allows precise positioning even in tight spaces, while the compact 450 sq. in. footprint minimizes floor space requirements.

Complete Under-Car Access

With a 69" maximum lift height using all four columns, the CLMM-5000 provides complete under-vehicle clearance for any service task. This makes the system an excellent choice for Electric Vehicle service, allowing technicians to drop and install battery packs with full access to the vehicle underside.

Operate from Any Column

The intuitive control system allows operation from any column position, giving technicians flexibility to control the lift from the most convenient location. The synchronized hydraulic system maintains level lifting across all columns with a maximum operating pressure of 2,230 psi and lift speed of 60" per minute.

Challenger CLMM-5000 Applications

  • Fleet Maintenance Facilities: Service a diverse fleet of vehicles from passenger cars to medium-duty commercial trucks without dedicated lift bays. Move columns to vehicles rather than driving vehicles to fixed lifts.

  • Mobile Repair Services: The portable, self-contained design allows professional-grade lifting capabilities at customer locations. No external power or air connections required for operation.
  • Overflow Service Bays: Transform any flat area in your shop into a productive lift bay during peak demand. Store columns compactly when not needed and deploy quickly when volume increases.
  • Multi-Purpose Workshops: Ideal for shops that service multiple vehicle types including passenger vehicles, light trucks, delivery vans, and medium-duty commercial vehicles up to 20,000 lb.
