Challenger CL10AV3-2-DPC-QC — 10,000 lbs 2-Post Lift
A busy shop doesn't see one type of vehicle. You've got a Camry, then an F-150, then a Subaru, then a Silverado — sometimes all in the same morning. Standard 2-post lifts make you choose at install: symmetric loading for trucks, or asymmetric offset for passenger car door access. The Challenger CL10AV3-2-DPC-QC eliminates that choice. Versymmetric® arm technology lets the same lift handle both configurations in the same bay, without reconfiguring between vehicles.
The -2-DPC-QC configuration adds directSPOT™ arm geometry that reaches factory lift points without shuffling the vehicle, dual pendant controls for independent operation at either column, and QuickCycle™ rise time at 24 seconds — the fastest in Challenger's 10K lineup. Three adjustable width positions, 3-stage front and rear arms, and a 2-foot height extension ship standard. For shops running mixed vehicle loads at production volume, the CL10AV3-2-DPC-QC is the 10K lift that doesn't make you choose between capability and speed.
Who the CL10AV3-2-DPC-QC Is Built For
- The shop that runs a Camry and an F-150 in the same bay on the same shift — Versymmetric® arms load both without asking the technician to reconfigure the lift between vehicles
- High-volume repair bays that want 24-second QuickCycle rise to stop losing time on every lift cycle across a 40-job week
- Technicians who've spent time shuffling vehicles forward and back to clear the front arm around the tire — directSPOT™ geometry eliminates that step on the CL10AV3
- Shops with 13'+ ceilings that want three adjustable width positions at install so the column spread can dial in to the actual vehicle mix being serviced
- Operations building out a multi-bay shop and want consistent 10K ALI-certified lift capacity across bays, with Versymmetric® versatility reducing the need to assign specific bays to specific vehicle types
- Dual pendant shops where each technician at either column needs independent lift control — no walking to a fixed station for every raise or lower
What the CL10AV3-2-DPC-QC Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Bays with ceilings below 13' 3" — the CL10AV3-2-DPC-QC requires that minimum clearance
- ❌ Shops that only service one vehicle type (only trucks or only passenger cars) where a standard symmetric or asymmetric lift is simpler
- ❌ Operations needing 12,000 lb+ capacity — see the Challenger CL12A series for the next tier up
What Makes the CL10AV3-2-DPC-QC Different
Versymmetric® Arms — Symmetric and Asymmetric in One Bay
Most 2-post lifts make you choose: symmetric (equal-reach arms, better for trucks) or asymmetric (offset for door-open access, better for passenger cars). The CL10AV3-2's Versymmetric® arms do both — in the same bay, on the same lift, without swapping arms or reconfiguring. A Camry and an F-150 both roll in and get serviced in the correct lift geometry for each vehicle type. For mixed-vehicle shops, this capability is the single biggest operational difference between this lift and a standard 10K.
directSPOT™ Arm Geometry — Straight to the Lift Point
Standard asymmetric lifts often require the technician to shuffle the vehicle forward or backward to swing the front arm clear of the tire and reach the factory lift point. directSPOT™ geometry on the CL10AV3-2's 3-stage front arms eliminates that step — the arm design geometrically positions itself to reach the lift point without requiring the vehicle to move. Over hundreds of lift cycles, that's meaningful time and frustration eliminated.
24-Second QuickCycle™ Rise — Fastest in the 10K Class
QuickCycle™ reduces the full-height rise time on the CL10AV3-2-DPC-QC to 24 seconds. Standard 10K lifts run 38-45 seconds per rise. In a production bay rotating 15-20 vehicles a day, the difference is 4-6 minutes recovered from pure lift-cycle time. Across a five-day week, that's 20-30 minutes of productive time returned. The -QC suffix confirms QuickCycle is included in this configuration.
Three Adjustable Width Positions + 2' Extension Included
The CL10AV3-2-DPC-QC installs at three width positions (11' 6.5", 12' 0.5", or 12' 6.5") for drive-thru clearances of 100", 106", or 112". A 2-foot height extension ships standard — giving 13' 3" (low) or 13' 9" (standard) overall height options. That combination of width and height flexibility means the lift configures to the bay rather than the bay compromising for the lift.
ALI/ETL Certified — The Versymmetric® Platform, Independently Verified
The CL10AV3-2-DPC-QC is ALI/ETL certified on every configuration — Challenger's spec sheet explicitly lists ALI® Certified ☑ for the full CL10AV3 line. For shops where documented certification is a compliance or insurance requirement, the CL10AV3-2-DPC-QC delivers Challenger's most advanced 10K arm technology with the certification that matters.
- ✅ Mixed-vehicle shops that service both cars and trucks in the same bay — Versymmetric® arms lift symmetrically for trucks and asymmetrically for passenger cars without reconfiguring the lift
- ✅ High-throughput shops where QuickCycle™'s 24-second rise time reduces vehicle rotation time meaningfully across a full day's work
- ✅ Technicians who value directSPOT™ arm geometry — the offset front arms reach factory lift points faster without needing to shuffle the vehicle front-to-back to clear the tire
- ✅ Shops that service a wide range of wheelbase lengths and benefit from 3-stage front and rear arms reaching from 20" to 60"
- ✅ Operations adding a second or third lift that need versatile, ALI-certified 10K capacity that handles whatever model rolls in
- ✅ Bays where dual pendant controls let operators at either column raise and lower independently — no fixed wall-station round trip for every cycle
- ❌ Bays with ceilings below 13' 3" — the CL10AV3-2-DPC-QC requires that minimum clearance
- ❌ Shops that only service one vehicle type (only trucks or only passenger cars) where a standard symmetric or asymmetric lift is simpler
- ❌ Operations needing 12,000 lb+ capacity — see the Challenger CL12A series for the next tier up
CL10AV3-2-DPC-QC vs. Stratus SAE-C10A (10,000 lb) — Which Lift Is Right for Your Shop?
| Decision Point | CL10AV3-2-DPC-QC | Stratus SAE-C10A (10,000 lb) |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 10,000 lbs | 10,000 lbs |
| ALI Certification | ALI/ETL certified | ALI certified |
| Arm technology | Versymmetric® (sym + asym), directSPOT™ | Standard clearfloor design |
| Rise time | 24 sec (QuickCycle™) | Per Stratus spec |
| Width positions | 3 adjustable positions | Standard |
| Controls | Dual pendant + QuickCycle | Standard Stratus controls |
| Best fit | 10K ALI + Versymmetric® + 24-sec QuickCycle | 10K ALI + Stratus height-adjustable clearfloor |
Choose the CL10AV3-2-DPC-QC when your shop needs Versymmetric® arm technology, 24-second QuickCycle rise, dual pendant controls, and ALI-certified 10K capacity in a single lift. Choose the Stratus SAE-C10A when your shop prefers Stratus's height-adjustable clearfloor construction for standard 10K symmetric service. Both stay inside Alamo’s catalog — call (844) 480-6059.
