Challenger 12K Heavy-Duty Symmetric 2-Post Lift #CL12A-1-DPC-QC

Challenger CL12A-1-DPC-QC 12,000 lb Symmetric 2-Post Lift

One tech waiting on the other to clear the control station slows down every job. The CL12A-1-DPC-QC fixes that with dual pendant controls on a 12,000 lb symmetric two-post platform.

The CL12A-1-DPC-QC runs 3-stage front and rear arms at 12,000 lbs capacity, with an overall width that sets to 142" / 148" / 154" at install. Dual pendant controls let a tech at either column raise or lower the vehicle without walking around it. QuickCycle trims real seconds off every rise and lower.

Columns stand 14' 2" or 14' 8" on this configuration — plan for a 15' 3" minimum ceiling and measure to your lowest overhead obstruction before you order.

Who the CL12A-1-DPC-QC Is Built For

• Shops running vehicles at or near a 10K lift's limit — 12,000 lbs of rated capacity gives real margin back on the trucks and vans a lighter lift can't safely handle.
• Two-tech bays where one control station creates a bottleneck — dual pendant controls put lift operation at both columns, so either tech can run it.
• Bays that can clear 15' 3" of ceiling — this configuration's 14' 2" or 14' 8" columns are sized for that clearance; a shorter ceiling needs a different CL12A build.
• High-volume bays counting minutes per vehicle — QuickCycle's faster rise and lower adds up across a full day of cycles.
• Buyers who want one team for sizing, delivery, install, and service — Alamo measures your bay, installs the lift, and stays the call afterward.

What the CL12A-1-DPC-QC Is NOT Built For

Skip this configuration if your ceiling cannot clear 14' 2" or 14' 8", your vehicles exceed 12,000 lbs, or your slab has not been evaluated. When any of those are borderline, call Alamo at (817) 865-3707 before you order.

What Makes the CL12A-1-DPC-QC Different

Configuration Highlights

• Dual Pendant Controls - a control station at each column so two techs can work without walking around the vehicle.
• Dual single-point lock release - lock disengagement handled from either side.
• Quick Cycle - faster up-and-down cycling to cut dead time between jobs.
• 3-stage front and rear arms - 27.5" to 59" reach for short wheelbases and long trucks alike.
• Adjustable overall width - set at 142" / 148" / 154" during installation to match your bay.

Bay Planning Numbers

The measurements that matter here: 14' 2" or 14' 8" column height, 142" / 148" / 154" adjustable overall width, and 103.5", 109.5" or 115.5" drive-thru clearance. Compare those against doors, lights, air lines, drains, and any overhead obstruction.

Electrical and Install Coordination

Published electrical is 2HP, 208v-230v, 60Hz, 1Ph. Have a licensed electrician confirm the circuit, disconnect, and local code requirements ahead of installation day.
