Challenger CLXP9-R2 XP9 Pad Adapter Kit - Convert CL10 to Drive-On Pad Style
You've already got a Challenger CL10 2-post lift in your bay. It handles standard arm-style lifting fine, but now you need express service capability. Quick lubes, tire rotations, brake checks, inspection lanes. Jobs where you need a vehicle spotted and lifted in seconds, not minutes of arm positioning. The Challenger CLXP9-R2 pad adapter kit converts your existing CL10 into an XP9-style drive-on pad lift without replacing the entire unit.
The XP9 pad system replaces your standard swing arms with low-profile drive-on platforms featuring flip-up ramps. Instead of positioning four individual arms under the vehicle's lift points, you drive the vehicle directly onto the pads. That's the difference between a tech spending 60 seconds spotting arms and a vehicle rolling onto the platforms in one shot. For express bays processing 20, 30, or 40 vehicles a day, that time savings compounds fast.
This is a 2-piece kit that mounts to your CL10 series columns. The low-profile pad design minimizes clearance issues with low-slung vehicles, and the reinforced front and rear access ramps flip up and lock to extend the platform load length for longer wheelbase trucks and SUVs. You keep your existing CL10 infrastructure, columns, power unit, and equalization system, and add the XP9 drive-on functionality on top of it. One lift, two capabilities.

Call to confirm full kit contents, including spotting blocks, adapter blocks, and storage caddies. The complete CL10-XP9 configuration typically includes 1.5" rubber spotting blocks (set of 4), 3" rubber spotting blocks (set of 4), two-position adapter blocks with rubber pads (set of 4), and spotting block storage caddies (pair of 2).
Installation and Setup
The CLXP9-R2 pad adapters mount to your existing CL10 series columns. The CL10 requires an inside-to-inside column dimension of 110" for proper XP9 pad adapter fitment. Installation involves locating pre-existing holes in the columns and tapping them to 5/16-18 NC thread for the mounting hardware. If accessories are already mounted at those locations, you'll need to find a suitable alternate working height and drill new mounting holes using the tire hanger bracket as a template.
Confirm your CL10's column spacing and configuration before ordering to ensure proper fitment. Refer to Challenger's pad adapter installation and operation supplement for complete step-by-step procedures.
Applications
Drive-on spotting eliminates individual arm positioning. Vehicles roll onto the pads and you're lifting in seconds. For high-volume express lanes processing dozens of vehicles per day, that per-car time savings is the whole point.
The XP9 pad configuration provides stable platform lifting with quick spotting, ideal for tire service where you need all four corners accessible and vehicles cycled through the bay efficiently.
Multi-point inspections, brake checks, and state inspection lanes benefit from drive-on convenience. The 9,000 lb capacity handles the full range of passenger vehicles, light trucks, and SUVs.
If your shop's service mix has shifted toward express work, the CLXP9-R2 lets you repurpose an existing CL10 for pad-style lifting without buying a dedicated drive-on lift. Protect your existing equipment investment while adding new capability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Challenger lifts can be converted with the CLXP9-R2?
The CLXP9-R2 is designed for the Challenger CL10 series 2-post lifts. Installation requires an inside-to-inside column dimension of 110". Confirm your specific CL10 model and column spacing before ordering. This kit does not fit the CL9 (which uses a 109" column dimension) or other Challenger 2-post models.
What does the XP9 pad style do differently than standard arms?
Standard 2-post arms require a technician to position four individual swing arms under the vehicle's manufacturer-designated lift points. XP9 drive-on pads replace the arms with low-profile platforms that the vehicle drives directly onto. This eliminates arm spotting time entirely, which is the primary advantage for express service bays where per-vehicle cycle time matters. The pads feature flip-up ramps that extend the platform length for longer wheelbase vehicles.
What capacity does my CL10 have after installing the XP9 pads?
The CL10-XP9 configuration is rated at 9,000 lb capacity. This covers the full range of passenger cars, crossovers, light trucks, and most SUVs. The capacity may differ from your CL10's original arm-style rating, so confirm the 9,000 lb figure against your service requirements before converting.
Does the CLXP9-R2 include spotting blocks?
The complete CL10-XP9 configuration typically includes 1.5" rubber spotting blocks (set of 4), 3" rubber spotting blocks (set of 4), and two-position adapter blocks with rubber pads (set of 4), plus spotting block storage caddies (pair of 2). Call us to confirm exactly what ships with the CLXP9-R2 kit.
Can I switch back to standard arms after installing the XP9 pads?
The XP9 pad adapters mount to your CL10 columns. Whether you can easily swap between pad-style and arm-style configurations depends on your specific CL10 model and mounting setup. Call us to discuss whether a dual-configuration workflow is practical for your bay.
What modifications to my CL10 columns are required?
Installation involves locating pre-existing holes in the CL10 columns and tapping them to 5/16-18 NC thread for the pad adapter mounting hardware. If existing accessories occupy those hole locations, you'll need to drill new holes at a suitable working height using the provided bracket as a template. No structural modifications to the columns are required.
Will the XP9 pads work with low-profile vehicles?
Yes. The XP9 uses a low-profile pad design specifically to minimize clearance issues with low-slung vehicles. The drive-on approach reduces the risk of underbody contact compared to driving over standard arm-style adapters. The flip-up ramps provide a smooth transition onto the platform surface.
Is the CLXP9-R2 covered under Challenger's warranty?
Yes. Challenger Lifts provides a limited warranty to the original purchaser covering repair or replacement of defective parts. The pad adapters must be installed according to Challenger's specifications. Coverage is not transferable, and warranty registration may be required after purchase.
