CHALLENGER LIFTS 44060X Four-Post Lift, 60,000 lbs XL Extended Chain Driven Capacity

• 60,000 lb capacity for heavy commercial trucks and transit vehicles
• 430 inch maximum wheelbase for buses and long-chassis vehicles
• 73 inch rise height with 10 twin ladder lock positions
• Dual hydraulic cylinders with velocity-fused redundant safety system
• Built-in runway rail system for optional rolling jacks

Variable-Synchro Power System with Dual Hydraulic Cylinders

The 44060X uses dual heavy-duty hydraulic lift cylinders that can operate in synchronized or independent mode. This allows technicians to apply variable power to the front or rear of the lift, which is critical when servicing vehicles with uneven weight distribution like waste trucks, front-heavy transit buses, or construction equipment. The system includes lever controls for precise front-to-rear balance adjustment.

Velocity-Fused Redundant Hydraulic Safety System

Each hydraulic cylinder includes a velocity fuse that prevents uncontrolled descent in the event of a hydraulic line failure. This redundant safety system provides an additional layer of protection beyond the mechanical locks, ensuring the lift remains secure even under catastrophic hydraulic failure conditions.

Heavy-Duty Chain Drive with Sealed Roller Bearings

The lift uses high-tensile-strength leaf chain running on sealed roller bearings for smooth, consistent lifting performance. This chain-driven design handles the 60,000 lb capacity with reliability and minimal maintenance. The sealed bearings protect against contamination in demanding shop environments.

10-Position Twin Ladder Lock System

Ten twin ladder lock positions provide flexible working heights throughout the 73 inch rise range. The single-point air-actuated lock release allows technicians to disengage all four column locks simultaneously from a single control point, streamlining the lowering process.

32-Inch Diamond Plate Runways with Adjustable Width

The 32 inch wide anti-skid diamond plate runways provide confident drive-on access for wide commercial tires. Runway width adjusts from 36 to 58 inches between runways to accommodate different vehicle track widths. Heavy-duty fixed approach ramps with diamond plate surfaces ensure positive traction during loading.

Built-In Runway Rail System for Accessories

The integrated runway rail system accepts optional rolling jacks and sliding oil drain pans without modification. This allows shops to configure the lift for wheel-off brake service, transmission work, or other operations requiring component removal while the vehicle remains elevated.

The 44060X's built-in runway rail system accepts optional accessories for expanded service capabilities.

Rolling Bridge Jacks (15,000 lb to 35,000 lb)

Optional air-operated rolling jacks mount to the runway rail system for wheel-off service operations. Available in 15,000 lb, 20,000 lb, 25,000 lb, and 35,000 lb capacities (WAJ20, WAJ25, WAJ35 models). These jacks allow technicians to lift individual axles for brake service, tire work, or suspension repairs while the vehicle remains on the lift. Width between runways with jacks installed is 43 to 53.5 inches.

Sliding Oil Drain Pans

Sliding drain pans mount to the runway rail system and position beneath the vehicle for fluid service operations. The rail-mounted design allows precise positioning under drain points without removing the vehicle from the lift.

Challenger Lifts Factory Warranty

The Challenger 44060X is backed by Challenger Lifts' factory warranty, providing coverage for the original owner when the lift is installed and maintained according to Challenger specifications.

• Labor: 1 Year
• Functional Parts: 1 Year (power unit, cylinders, chains, hoses, valves, controls, latches)
• Structural Parts: 5 Years (columns, runways, cross beams, ramps, wheel stops)

Warranty registration is required at challengerlifts.com/register-your-lift. If not registered, the warranty period begins from the invoice date. This warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original purchaser. Use of unapproved parts or failure to follow Challenger's installation and maintenance guidelines will void the warranty.

Free Shipping

Free shipping to the contiguous 48 United States. Alaska, Hawaii, and remote or rural areas may incur additional charges. Lift gate service, residential delivery, and other special handling may have additional fees.

Freight Service

Ships via LTL (Less Than Truckload) freight from Challenger Lifts' distribution center in Louisville, KY. Due to the size and weight of the 44060X, this lift ships on multiple pallets and may arrive on multiple trucks. Typical transit time is 1 to 2 weeks depending on your location.

Receiving

Customer is responsible for unloading at delivery location. Forklift is required for unloading. Inspect all packages before signing the Bill of Lading and note any visible damage before the driver departs. Contact Challenger Lifts immediately if hidden damage is discovered after receipt. Factory must be notified within 30 days of delivery for missing parts claims.

What is the lifting capacity of the Challenger 44060X?

The Challenger 44060X has a lifting capacity of 60,000 lb (27,216 kg). This capacity handles heavy commercial trucks, transit buses, waste haulers, and construction equipment. The dual hydraulic cylinder system with variable-synchro power allows the lift to handle vehicles with uneven front-to-rear weight distribution.

What is the maximum wheelbase the 44060X can accommodate?

The 44060X accommodates wheelbases up to 430 inches (1,092 cm), making it the longest configuration in the 44060 series. The standard 44060 handles up to 310 inches, and the 44060E handles up to 370 inches. Choose your configuration based on the longest vehicle you need to service.

What are the electrical requirements for the Challenger 44060X?

The 44060X requires 230 to 460V three-phase power with a 15 HP motor. Amperage draw is 42 amps at 230V or 21 amps at 460V. A dedicated circuit with appropriate breaker sizing is required. This lift is not compatible with single-phase power.

What are the concrete floor requirements?

The 44060X requires a minimum 5 inch thick concrete floor with steel reinforcement and a minimum compressive strength of 3,000 PSI. The floor must be level with no more than 2 inches of variation between any two posts. The floor should be free from cracks, seams, and deterioration. The minimum bay size is 26 ft 1 in x 52 ft 4 in.

Does the 44060X require an air compressor?

Yes, an air compressor is required for the single-point air-actuated lock release system. The lock release operates on 30 to 40 PSI air pressure. This allows technicians to disengage all four column locks simultaneously from a single control point.

What is the difference between the 44060, 44060E, and 44060X?

The three models differ only in track length and maximum wheelbase capacity. All share the same 60,000 lb capacity, 73 inch rise, and 17 ft 1.25 inch width. The 44060 handles 310 inch wheelbases (36 ft length), the 44060E handles 370 inches (41 ft length), and the 44060X handles 430 inches (46 ft length). Choose based on your longest vehicle.

What rolling jacks are compatible with the 44060X?

The 44060X's built-in runway rail system accepts Challenger's WAJ series air-operated rolling jacks in 20,000 lb (WAJ20), 25,000 lb (WAJ25), and 35,000 lb (WAJ35) capacities. These jacks allow wheel-off service for brake work, tire service, and suspension repairs while the vehicle remains elevated.

What is the warranty on the Challenger 44060X?

The 44060X includes one-year coverage for labor and functional parts, plus five-year coverage for structural parts. Functional coverage includes the power unit, cylinders, chains, hoses, valves, and controls. Structural coverage protects the columns, runways, cross beams, and ramps.
