Challenger MR6 6000 lb Portable Mid-Rise Scissor Car Lift

• 6,000 lb capacity for passenger cars through light trucks
• 53 inch rise height with 60 inch maximum at pads
• 5.5 inch collapsed height for low-clearance vehicle loading
• Portable tow dolly design for bay-to-bay mobility
• Standard 115V operation with no special wiring required

Portable Tow Dolly Design

The MR6's power unit mounts on a heavy-duty tow dolly with handle and wheels, enabling single-person repositioning between service bays. The 144 inch hydraulic hose provides operational flexibility while keeping controls clear of the work area. This portable design lets shops share one lift across multiple bays or move it outdoors for overflow work on suitable concrete surfaces.

Superior Rise Height

The MR6 delivers 53 inches of rise at the table surface, with maximum pad height reaching 60 inches using the included tall adapters. This exceeds many competing 6,000 lb portable mid-rise lifts that typically offer 42 to 48 inches of rise. The additional height provides comfortable stand-up working position for brake jobs, tire service, and suspension work.

Low Drive-Over Clearance

The scissor table collapses to just 5.5 inches when fully lowered, creating a minimal drive-over profile for low-clearance vehicles. The 8.625 inch minimum pad height accommodates most passenger car lift points. Low-profile sports cars and modified vehicles can drive directly onto the lift without steep ramping angles or temporary blocks.

Complete Adapter Set Included

The MR6 ships with both short adapters (3 inch extension) and tall adapters (7 inch extension) as standard equipment. Rubber contact pads on the sliding and rotating arms provide secure grip across various lift point configurations. This complete set accommodates factory lift points from compact sedans to full-size SUVs without additional purchases.

Six-Position Mechanical Safety Lock

The MR6 features six distinct mechanical lock positions throughout the rise cycle. These locks operate independently of hydraulic pressure, keeping the lift secure during extended service operations or power interruptions. The multiple positions let technicians select the optimal working height for each job.

Standard 115V Single-Phase Power

The 1 HP electric/hydraulic power unit operates on standard 115V, 60Hz single-phase power with a 20 amp circuit requirement. This matches typical shop outlets and many home garage electrical setups without requiring 208-230V upgrades. The lift completes a full rise cycle in 45 seconds.

The lift is suitable for both indoor and outdoor operation on appropriate concrete.
