Challenger RJ-9GS - 9,000 lb Air/Hydraulic Rolling Jack for 4018XFX Series
The Challenger RJ-9GS delivers 9,000 lb capacity in a rolling jack accessory engineered for Challenger 4018XFX and 44018 series four-post lifts. Featuring air/hydraulic operation, adjustable width design, and low-profile construction, this rolling jack enables efficient wheel, brake, and suspension service by lifting vehicles off lift runways without manual jacks.
Key Features & Benefits
Designed for Challenger 4018XFX and 44018 Series Lifts
The RJ-9GS is engineered specifically for Challenger 4018XFX heavy-duty 18,000 lb capacity and 44018 series four-post lifts, with runway spacing of 33-42 inches and certified load rating of 9,000 lb per jack. The jack's design aligns precisely with 4018XFX lift specifications and runway geometry requirements, eliminating adapter requirements or modifications while maintaining seamless integration with certified lift systems designed for 9K rolling jack loading.
Professional shops rely on OEM compatibility to ensure safe installation, maintain equipment certifications, and preserve lift system warranties on equipment valued at $8,000 to $18,000 per lift unit. Using non-OEM jacks introduces compatibility unknowns and creates potential liability during critical service work on vehicles up to 9,000 lb. The RJ-9GS's engineering eliminates these concerns through direct fit for 4018XFX systems.
This ensures predictable performance and protects your investment in certified lift equipment. Shops can integrate the RJ-9GS into existing 4018XFX installations with confidence that all components meet manufacturer specifications and safety standards.
9,000 lb Air/Hydraulic Operation at 80-100 PSI
The RJ-9GS delivers 9,000 lb lifting capacity using air/hydraulic actuation powered by compressed shop air at 80-100 PSI manufacturer specification, enabling technicians to lift vehicles from 4018XFX lift runways with minimal effort. Pressurized shop air drives the hydraulic cylinders, providing smooth, consistent raises and controlled lowering without manual pumping or operator strain during 50-100 service cycles per shift.
Traditional manual jacks require sustained physical effort of 50-80 lb force per operation, reducing technician efficiency by 20-30% and increasing fatigue during extended service sessions. Air/hydraulic systems address this challenge by providing powered lifting responsive to 80-100 PSI shop air pressure, enabling quick, smooth raises during wheel rotation, brake service, and suspension work on vehicles weighing up to 9,000 lb per jack.
This improves service center efficiency by reducing physical demand on technicians. Multiple vehicles can be serviced with less fatigue, translating to faster turnaround times and higher shop productivity on routine and heavy-duty service work.
Runway Rail Design with 30-42 Inch Width Range
The RJ-9GS is designed to roll easily along the accessory rail system of Challenger 4018XFX lifts with 33-42 inch runway spacing, featuring extendable side members and adjustable width capability supporting 30-42 inch width variations. The runway-based design enables technicians to roll the jack into position from storage without lifting or carrying, reducing setup time by 30-50% per service operation and improving workflow efficiency during 8-10 service cycles per shift.
Floor-based jacks require manual positioning and repositioning between 10-15 service tasks per shift, consuming technician time and creating ergonomic challenges during extended service sessions. Runway-mounted designs address this by enabling quick repositioning along established 33-42 inch accessory rails without manual handling, improving shop throughput by an estimated 25-35% on vehicles requiring multiple service points.
This enhances operational flexibility and reduces setup time between service tasks. Technicians can reposition the jack quickly along the 30-42 inch width lift runways to match different vehicle profiles and lift point requirements, improving shop efficiency and reducing service cycle times.
Adjustable Width 30-42 Inches for Vehicle Compatibility
The RJ-9GS features adjustable width design with 12-inch adjustment range from 30 to 42 inches to accommodate vehicle pickup points and lift geometries on passenger vehicles and light trucks serviced on Challenger 4018XFX lifts with 33-42 inch runway spacing. The adjustable width capability supports vehicles from compact cars (30-36 inch width) to full-size SUVs and trucks (38-42 inch width) without equipment substitution.
Fixed-width jacks with no adjustment capability create compatibility mismatches with 25-35% of typical shop vehicle populations requiring different width settings. Adjustable designs address this challenge by allowing technicians to adjust jack positioning across the 30-42 inch width range to match specific vehicle requirements and support geometry without changing equipment between service tasks on 15-20 vehicles per day.
This improves operational versatility and reduces equipment investment costs by 40-50% compared to purchasing multiple fixed-width jacks. One RJ-9GS with 12-inch width range eliminates need for 2-3 fixed-width jacks on your 4018XFX system.
Applications & Use Cases
