Challenger DX77R Features

Cross-Member-Free Design

The DX77R's open platform configuration eliminates obstructions between the lifting surfaces, providing technicians with unrestricted access all around the lifted vehicle. This clutter-free workspace increases efficiency and minimizes potential hazards during service operations.

Flush Mount Installation

Designed to be installed flush with your shop floor, the DX77R maximizes workspace and preserves the professional aesthetics of your facility. When lowered, vehicles can drive directly over the platforms without obstruction, optimizing traffic flow in busy service environments.

Double Scissor Lifting Mechanism

The dual scissor design delivers a 70" rise height while maintaining stability throughout the lifting cycle. This taller rise provides generous working clearance for technicians of all heights, reducing strain and improving productivity during extended service operations.

Synchronized Hydraulic System

Precision-engineered hydraulics ensure balanced, synchronized lifting across both platforms. The system maintains level operation throughout the entire rise cycle, providing stable and secure vehicle positioning for safe service work.

Reinforced Diamond-Plate Ramps

Heavy-duty front and rear access ramps feature a diamond-plate surface for superior traction. The ramps flip up and lock to extend the platform load length, accommodating longer wheelbase vehicles with ease.

Single Point Air Actuated Lock Release

The ergonomic lock release system operates at a comfortable working height, allowing technicians to increase productivity and minimize fatigue. The three-button control console provides simple, intuitive operation for raising, lowering, and lock release functions.

Challenger DX77R Applications

  • Express Service Centers: The flush mount design and rapid 43-second rise time make the DX77R ideal for high-volume quick lube, tire, and maintenance operations where vehicle throughput is critical.
  • Body Shops: Cross-member-free access provides unobstructed workspace for body repair, paint preparation, and undercarriage inspection without interference from lift components.
  • Narrow Bay Applications: With an overall width of just 69.5", the DX77R fits comfortably in space-constrained service bays where traditional lifts may not be practical.
  • Dealership Service Departments: The professional flush mount appearance maintains showroom-quality aesthetics while delivering the heavy-duty performance dealerships require.
  • General Repair Shops: The 7,700 lb capacity handles a wide range of passenger vehicles, light trucks, and SUVs, making this lift versatile for diverse repair operations.
