With a 74.5" rise height, 43-second lift speed, and innovative 3-stage front arms for extended reach, the SA10 handles everything from compact cars to full-size trucks.

Challenger SA10 Features
Dual Installation Configuration
The SA10 can be installed in either symmetric or asymmetric position depending on your service needs. Symmetric configuration provides equal weight distribution ideal for alignment work, while asymmetric positioning allows for easier door access during interior and under-hood service.
3-Stage Front and 2-Stage Rear Arms
Innovative arm design provides greater overall sweep for versatility and ease of spotting lift points. Front arms extend from 22.375" to 41.5" while rear arms reach from 38.25" to 59", accommodating a wide range of vehicle wheelbases and configurations.
Premium Double Telescoping Screw Pads
Height-adjustable screw pads with 4.75" to 6.875" range minimize the need for additional adapters. The double telescoping design provides precise positioning for secure vehicle contact at manufacturer-specified lift points.
Single-Point Mechanical Lock Release
The convenient single-point release system allows technicians to disengage both columns simultaneously from one location. This streamlined operation saves time and improves workflow efficiency during busy service days.
Padded Overhead Shut-Off System
Integrated overhead protection prevents vehicle damage by automatically stopping lift operation if contact is detected. This safety feature protects tall vehicles and provides peace of mind during lifting operations.
Durable Construction with Premium Finish
Built with plated arm restraints and arm pins that inhibit rust for long-lasting durability. The premium powder coat finish resists chips and corrosion while maintaining a professional appearance. Available in Red or Blue to match your shop aesthetic.
