Challenger SX14 14,000 lb Heavy-Duty Scissor Alignment Lift for Professional Service Centers
The Challenger SX14 Series delivers professional-grade wheel alignment capability with a robust 14,000 lb lifting capacity and 77" rise height. This ALI-certified scissor lift features integrated LED lighting, adjustable turn plates, and pneumatic single-point locking rear slip plates for precise alignment work. Available in standard, extended ramp, and flush-mount configurations, the SX14 accommodates wheelbases from 70.75" to 176" for alignment and up to 183" maximum. Powered by a 3 HP motor operating on 208-240V single-phase power, this American-engineered lift is backed by Challenger's comprehensive warranty.
Challenger SX14 Features
Integrated LED Lighting System
The automatic LED lighting feature illuminates the underside of the vehicle when the lift rises, providing excellent visibility for inspections and alignment work. The system automatically turns off when the lift descends below 18", conserving energy and indicating lowered position.
Pneumatic Single-Point Lock Release
The air-actuated single-point lock release allows technicians to work at an ergonomic height, increasing productivity and minimizing fatigue during busy service days. This streamlined design eliminates the need to manually release multiple lock points.
Maintenance-Reduced Rear Slip Plates
Engineered with oversized, encapsulated bearings, the rear slip plates are protected against environmental debris and contamination. This design significantly reduces maintenance requirements while ensuring smooth, precise movement during alignment procedures.
Photo Cell Runway Synchronization
Built-in photo cell technology ensures both runways rise and lower in perfect synchronization, maintaining level vehicle positioning throughout the lift cycle. This safety feature prevents uneven lifting that could damage vehicles or compromise alignment accuracy.
Extra-Wide Runways for Versatility
With 25.5" wide runways and 40" between platforms, the SX14 accommodates both single and dual rear wheel vehicles. This versatility makes it ideal for service centers handling everything from passenger cars to heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles.
Twin Hydraulic Cylinder Operation
The dual hydraulic cylinder system provides smooth, stable operation with a 75-second rise time. Approach ramps are equipped with end rollers to minimize noise during vehicle loading and reduce potential floor damage in your shop.
