Challenger 30,000 lb Mobile Column Lift Set of 2 #CLHM-MR30

Challenger 30,000 lb Mobile Column Lift Set of 2 #CLHM-MR30

Not every truck job needs a full four-column lift — and buying one for the occasional axle job wastes a bay and a budget. The CLHM-MR30 is the partial-lift answer: a 30,000 lb mobile column wheel lift sold as a set of 2 columns, where each column takes one end of the axle.

The set is a flexible partial-lift solution for truck and fleet service where full four-column sets are not needed at every bay — the built-in vehicle support stand allows complete open access under the vehicle, and the portable design eliminates the need for a dedicated bay entirely.

Who the CLHM-MR30 Is Built For

• Shops whose axle work stays within 30,000 lb per column — the set of 2 lifts a front or rear axle, not the whole vehicle.
• Low-ceiling shops — mobile column lifting works where a two-post or four-post physically cannot fit.
• Fleet service operations that want lift capability at multiple locations — the portable design eliminates the dedicated bay.
• Fleet operators with loaded medium-duty axles that need margin above the 20K rating — 30,000 lb per column without stepping to the MR40's footprint.
• Teams comparing the MR series capacities (20,000 / 30,000 / 40,000 lb per column) against their actual axle loads.

What the CLHM-MR30 Is NOT Built For

This is not the right choice when you need to lift a whole vehicle at all four wheels (that takes a full four-column set), your axle loads exceed 30,000 lb per column, or your shop air cannot reach 160 psi. If you are close on any spec, compare the other CLHM-MR capacities or call Alamo.

Important sizing note: The CLHM-MR30 rates 30,000 lb per column (set of 2 columns), a 30" stroke, and 16" - 44" wheel diameter range (16" min. with adapters). Weigh the actual axle loads and confirm air supply before purchase.

What Makes the CLHM-MR30 Different

Set of 2 Columns — Partial-Lift Logic

Each CLHM-MR30 column is rated at 30,000 lb and lifts one end of the axle. Two columns lift the front or rear axle as a set — which is exactly the job ( inspections, brake work, tire service) that does not need a four-column lift. When four-wheel lifting is needed later, the set is expandable rather than replaceable.

• Match the column rating to your heaviest axle, not the whole vehicle.
• Confirm the 16" - 44" wheel diameter range covers your fleet (16" min. with adapters).
• Ask Alamo to compare the 20K/30K/40K MR capacities against real axle loads.
• Plan where the columns will be stored and deployed.

Built-In Vehicle Support Stand

The built-in vehicle support stand allows complete open access under the vehicle once the axle is lifted — techs work underneath without a separate jack stand shuffle, and the access is the difference between an axle job that flows and one that fights the equipment.

Portable — No Dedicated Bay

Compressed-air powered and fully mobile, the set goes where the vehicle is parked: no anchors, no dedicated bay, no ceiling clearance question. Each column measures 42 1/4" wide x 43 1/4" deep, and the 30" stroke runs from floor level to full lift height.

Low-Ceiling Shops

Because the columns rise only as high as the axle needs, low-ceiling shops that cannot fit a two-post or four-post at all can still run mobile column service — the ceiling simply stops being part of the lift decision.

Air and Vehicle Mix

The columns run on compressed air at up to 160 psi maximum operating pressure. Confirm your compressor capacity and air drop locations across every intended work area before ordering — air, not the floor, is the usual constraint with mobile columns.

Service After the Sale

Alamo installs and services the lifts we sell, so the same team that helps size the CLHM-MR set can support the columns after they are in the shop.

Best For

• Axle work within 30,000 lb per column

• Whole-vehicle, four-wheel lifting (needs a full four-column set)
• Axle loads above 30,000 lb per column
• Wheels outside the 16" - 44" diameter range
