Challenger SA10EH2 Features

2-Foot Column Height Increase

The SA10EH2 adds 24 inches of additional column height to each post of the Challenger SA10 lift. This raises the overall height from 136-1/2" / 142-1/2" to 160-1/2" / 166-1/2", providing the extra clearance needed to lift high-profile vehicles without compromise.

High-Profile Vehicle Accommodation

Service full-size trucks, commercial vans, lifted vehicles, and tall SUVs that would otherwise exceed the standard column height. The added clearance ensures safe and comfortable working conditions underneath even the tallest consumer vehicles.

Complete Extension Kit

Every SA10EH2 ships with all required components for a full installation: two column height extensions, a hose extension kit to accommodate the increased hydraulic line length, and new cables sized to the extended column height. No additional parts to source.

New and Retrofit Compatible

The SA10EH2 can be ordered alongside a new SA10 2-post lift for factory-ready extended height, or it can be added to an existing SA10 installation as a retrofit upgrade. This flexibility means your lift investment can grow with your shop's needs.

Challenger Quality Construction

Manufactured by Challenger Lifts in Louisville, Kentucky, the SA10EH2 is built to the same rigorous standards as the SA10 lift itself. Precision-engineered steel extensions integrate seamlessly with the SA10's mirrored S-shaped column design.

Maintained Lift Performance

The included new cables and hose extension kit ensure the SA10 maintains its full 10,000 lb lifting capacity and smooth, reliable operation after the height extension is installed. No reduction in performance or safety.

Challenger SA10EH2 Applications

  • Full-Service Auto Shops: Shops that regularly service a mix of passenger cars and full-size trucks benefit from the extended column height, eliminating the need to turn away taller vehicles.
  • Truck and Fleet Service Centers: Fleet operations working on vans, box trucks, and high-profile commercial vehicles require the additional overhead clearance the SA10EH2 provides.
  • Dealerships with Truck Lines: Dealerships selling and servicing full-size pickup trucks and SUVs can outfit their service bays with extended-height SA10 lifts to handle their entire lineup.
  • Lifted Vehicle and Off-Road Shops: Specialty shops working on lifted trucks, Jeeps, and off-road vehicles with aftermarket suspension kits gain the extra height needed for safe lifting.
  • Existing SA10 Upgrades: Shops that already own an SA10 and want to expand their service capabilities to include taller vehicles can retrofit the extension without replacing their entire lift.

Challenger SA10EH2 Installation Requirements

Ceiling Height Requirement

Minimum ceiling height: With the SA10EH2 installed, the overall column height reaches up to 166-1/2" (approximately 13' 10-1/2"). Ensure your facility has adequate ceiling clearance above the extended columns, plus room for the overhead shutoff switch. A minimum ceiling height of 14 feet or greater is recommended.

Concrete Foundation

Anchoring: The SA10 requires a minimum 4" thick reinforced concrete slab with a minimum compressive strength of 3,000 PSI. Anchor bolts must be installed per Challenger's specifications. The concrete must be fully cured and in sound condition.

New Purchase vs. Retrofit

New lift purchase: Order both the SA10 lift and Part # SA10EH2 together. The extension can be installed during initial lift setup. Existing SA10 retrofit: Order Part # SA10EH2 separately. Installation on an existing lift requires disassembly of the upper column sections, addition of extensions, routing of new hoses, and replacement of cables.

Professional Installation

Professional installation by an authorized Challenger Lifts installer is required. The SA10EH2 involves structural modifications to the lift columns, hydraulic hose rerouting, and cable replacement. Improper installation may void the warranty and compromise lift safety.

What's Included with the Challenger SA10EH2

  • (2) Column height extensions (one per column)
  • (1) Hose extension kit for extended hydraulic line routing
  • New cables sized for the extended column height

Not Included: The SA10 base lift (sold separately), installation labor, concrete work, and any electrical modifications. The SA10EH2 is an accessory kit only.
