Product Overview
Challenger CLFP9 Low Ceiling Two Post Car Lift 9,000
The Challenger CLFP9 two-post car lift is engineered specifically for low ceiling environments, featuring a 10' 7/8" overall column height that maximizes your available workspace without sacrificing lifting performance. With a 9,000 lbs. capacity and an impressive 78-1/8" rise height, this professional-grade lift delivers the power and versatility you need for a wide range of vehicle service applications. Whether you're a home enthusiast with limited ceiling clearance or operating a professional service shop, the CLFP9 provides dependable, long-lasting durability with smooth, reliable lifting motion that inspires confidence with every use.
Designed for maximum versatility, this floor plate car lift accommodates an exceptionally wide variety of vehicle lifting points, including short and long wheelbase configurations as well as wide body imports. The standard 3-stage front and 3-stage rear arms deliver exceptional arm sweep, retraction, and reach, ensuring you can precisely position the lift pads on manufacturer-designated lift points across virtually any vehicle type. Combined with double telescoping screw pads that adjust to multiple heights, the CLFP9 minimizes the need for additional adapters while providing secure, stable lifting for cars, trucks, and SUVs alike.
Perfect for Low Ceiling Applications
The defining advantage of the CLFP9 is its optimized design for facilities with limited overhead clearance. Requiring only 10' 1-7/8" ceiling height, this lift opens up installation possibilities in garages, shops, and service bays where standard-height lifts simply won't fit. The low profile drive-over floor plate makes vehicle positioning effortless, eliminating awkward approaches and allowing smooth entry and exit. Despite its compact vertical profile, you still achieve an exceptional 78-1/8" rise height, providing ample undercarriage access for comprehensive service work, diagnostics, and repairs.
With an 11' 5-1/2" overall width and 98-3/16" drive-thru clearance, the CLFP9 accommodates full-size vehicles while maintaining a footprint that fits efficiently into your workspace. The 109" inside column measurement ensures you have plenty of room to maneuver around the vehicle once it's lifted, making every service task more comfortable and efficient.
Exceptional Arm Reach and Retraction for Every Vehicle
The CLFP9's 3-stage front and 3-stage rear arms are designed to provide excellent reach and retraction, giving you the flexibility to hit the designated lifting points of virtually any manufacturer's vehicle. With front and rear arm reach of 24-1/2" / 44-1/2" (both positions), you can confidently position lift pads exactly where they need to be, whether you're working on a compact car with a tight wheelbase or a full-size truck with extended reach requirements.
This outstanding adjustability ensures you can accommodate short wheelbase vehicles, long wheelbase trucks, and wide body imports with equal ease. The arms retract fully to minimize interference during vehicle positioning, then extend precisely to the correct lift points. Combined with adjustable screw pad heights from 4" to 5-7/8", the CLFP9 adapts to a remarkable variety of vehicle undercarriage configurations without requiring constant adapter changes.
Note: Frame engaging adapters (10314 or 10318) are required when lifting vehicles with frame construction.
Heavy-Duty Chain Lifting System with Cable Equalization
At the heart of the CLFP9 is a robust electric/hydraulic heavy-duty chain lifting operation with cable equalization, engineered to deliver smooth, synchronized lifting performance with every cycle. This proven lifting system ensures that both columns rise in perfect harmony, maintaining vehicle stability throughout the entire lifting process. The cable equalization system continuously balances the load across all four arms, providing consistent, reliable operation even when working with unevenly distributed vehicle weights.
Powered by a 2HP single-phase motor operating on 208v-230v, 60Hz, the CLFP9 delivers a rapid 60-second speed of rise, minimizing wait time and maximizing productivity. Each arm is rated for a maximum load of 2,250 lbs., ensuring safe, confident lifting when the total vehicle weight is properly distributed across all four lifting points.
The dual point mechanical pull-lock cable release system provides secure, positive locking at any height, with easy manual release from either column. This dual-release design enhances safety and convenience, allowing you to operate the lift from whichever side is most accessible during your workflow.
Built for Durability and Long-Term Performance
The CLFP9 is built with professional-grade components designed to withstand the demands of daily use. The fully gussetted base plate design significantly reduces column deflection under load, maintaining structural integrity and ensuring stable, predictable lifting performance over years of operation. This reinforced construction distributes stress evenly throughout the frame, preventing premature wear and maintaining precise alignment.
A premium powder coat finish provides long-lasting durability and resistance to scratches, chemicals, and the rigors of a busy shop environment. Plated arm pins inhibit rust and corrosion, ensuring smooth arm adjustment and long service life even in humid or harsh conditions. Rubber foot pads on each screw pad minimize stress to the vehicle's delicate undercoatings, protecting your customers' vehicles while providing secure, non-slip contact at each lift point.
With a shipping weight of 1,925 lbs., the CLFP9 has the substantial construction needed for professional service work, while still being manageable for installation in most facilities.
