Challenger CL10-XP9-3-DPC Features

Express Service Throughput Optimization

The drive-on express pad eliminates traditional swing arm positioning, featuring a 2.25-inch low-profile platform with reinforced flip-up ramps that extend to three configurations (58", 66.5", and 75") for wheelbase adaptability. This fixed-platform design accommodates vehicles with as little as 3.5-4 inches of ground clearance, including sports cars, lowered vehicles, and EVs. In high-volume operations processing 30 vehicles daily, this system recaptures 60-150 minutes of lost productivity by enabling first-try vehicle spotting without any arm adjustment.

Dual Pendant Control Workflow Efficiency

The portable dual pendant power control system allows lift operation from either column, featuring single-point mechanical lock release accessible from both positions. Each pendant includes raise, lower, and safety lock controls with padded overhead shutoff protection that triggers at maximum rise height to prevent over-travel. This configuration eliminates the 15-30 seconds per lift cycle lost walking around vehicles to access single-pendant controls.

176-Inch Height for Standard Buildings

The factory-installed 3-foot column extension package achieves 176 inches (14'8") total height while delivering the full 70-inch rise capacity, enabling installation in standard 15-foot ceiling commercial buildings. This configuration maintains 90-inch drive-through clearance for tall vehicles and service vans while fitting within typical building codes. Eliminates the $15,000-40,000 cost of ceiling modifications required by higher-capacity lifts.

ALI/ETL Third-Party Certification

This lift carries ALI (Automotive Lift Institute) Gold Label certification meeting ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2011 safety standards and ETL certification by Intertek Testing Services to ANSI/UL 201 and CAN/CSA C22.2 electrical safety standards. Independent third-party testing validates structural integrity, load distribution, safety system function, and electrical compliance for full commercial insurance coverage and OSHA 1910.147 lockout/tagout compliance.

Application-Specific Express Service Design

The fixed drive-on pad configuration prioritizes speed over positioning flexibility, using a 48-inch elongated carriage with oversized 5-inch diameter pulleys and heavy-duty 5/16-inch equalization cables engineered specifically for repetitive lift cycles in high-volume express service applications. This design enables shops to reduce average service time by 5-8% through eliminated positioning steps, directly increasing daily vehicle capacity.

Complete Included Accessory Package

Ships with (4) 1.5-inch rubber spotting blocks, (4) 3-inch rubber spotting blocks, and (2) column-mounted storage caddies for organized block storage at each column position. Dual integrated rubber door guards protect vehicle doors from column contact during entry and exit, while reinforced front and rear flip-up locking access ramps provide stable drive-on entry. Eliminates the $200-400 cost of aftermarket adapter kits.
