Extra-Wide Configuration for Larger Vehicles

The CL4P9W wide model provides 127.25" overall width and 110" inside columns, offering significantly more room than standard models. This expanded width accommodates wider vehicles including full-size trucks, SUVs, and classic cars with extended mirrors or accessories, ensuring hassle-free positioning on the runways.

Maximum Rise and Storage Clearance

With an 85.5" service rise height at the top locked position and 80" storage clearance, the CL4P9W maximizes your vertical space utilization. Store a vehicle overhead while maintaining ample clearance underneath for a second vehicle, workshop activities, or additional storage.

Commercial-Grade Formed Runways

Heavy-duty formed runways provide a strong, stable platform with 20" runway width and 38" between runways. The built-in runway rail system accommodates optional accessories like rolling jacks and oil drip trays, adding versatility for service applications beyond simple storage.

Adjustable Lock Ladders

The adjustable lock ladder system allows for versatile installation with sensitivity to uneven floors. This feature ensures safe, secure locking at multiple height positions while accommodating real-world garage floor conditions that may not be perfectly level.

Single-Point Manual Lock Release

The convenient single-point manual lock release disengages all column locks simultaneously, streamlining the lowering process. This intuitive safety feature ensures consistent, controlled operation every time you need to bring a vehicle down from storage.

Enhanced Stability with Larger Components

The 9,000 lb models feature larger columns and base plates compared to the 7K series, providing enhanced stability and load distribution. Combined with 8' 0.5" column height and robust construction, the CL4P9W handles heavy vehicles with confidence.

Electrical Requirements

Power: 115V or 230V single-phase power supply. The lift operates faster on 230V (60 seconds rise time vs 120 seconds on 115V). A licensed electrician must install and verify the electrical supply meets local codes and manufacturer specifications.

Concrete Foundation

Anchoring: While anchoring is not required to maintain ALI/ETL certification, Challenger recommends following installation manual guidelines for your specific application. Ensure the concrete floor is in good condition and capable of supporting the lift and vehicle weight.

Space Requirements

Minimum Bay Size: 14' x 22' recommended. Overall Dimensions: 233.5" length x 127.25" width. Column Height: 8' 0.5". Ensure adequate ceiling clearance above the columns plus the vehicle height at full rise for safe operation.

Professional Installation

Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper setup, alignment, and safe operation. The adjustable lock ladders accommodate uneven floors, but proper installation is critical for safe, reliable performance. Warranty coverage requires installation according to Challenger specifications.
