Will the 4030XAX Fit Your Bay?
The numbers that matter most are the ones describing your slab. Challenger's minimum recommended bay size for this model is 34' x 17'. That is the recommendation, not a hard floor - Alamo will review your actual layout.

Site Prep - What Your Bay Needs Before Install Day
Get these confirmed before the truck shows up with your lift. If any one of them is uncertain, call us first.
Concrete
A lift at 30,000 lbs puts real load into the slab. Concrete thickness, strength, and cure age all have to meet Challenger's published installation requirements. If you are unsure what is under your floor, we can help you find out.
Electrical
Challenger publishes a 3HP, 208v - 230v (single phase standard) motor as standard on the 4030 series, with a 90 - 120 psi air supply required for the lock release. Confirm both against your building before install day.
Air Supply
Air-actuated lock release means shop air has to reach the lift. Plan the drop as part of the install, not as an afterthought.
Alamo does not just ship this lift and leave. We size it to your building, coordinate the freight, install it, and come back for inspections.

Challenger 4030XAX 30,000 lb Heavy-Duty 4-Post Lift
Turning away heavy-truck alignment work because the shop's lift can't take a turnplate is real money left on the table. The 4030XAX is built to take that job.
It's cable-driven, rated at 30,000 lb, with a 317" maximum wheelbase and 380" of overall length. Front turntable cutouts support two-wheel alignment work up to 292". Challenger's recommended minimum bay size for this configuration is 34' x 17'. Power is 3HP, 208v - 230v (single phase standard).
Who the 4030XAX Is Built For
- Shops running vehicles near a lighter lift's limit — 30,000 lb of rated capacity covers loads a standard-duty four-post can't take safely.
- Shops that turn away or sublet heavy-truck alignment work — the turntable cutouts and alignment range on this deck are built specifically for that job, not bolted on after.
- Fleets running long-wheelbase trucks and trailers — 317" of wheelbase capacity means the vehicle doesn't overhang the runway ends.
- Buildings that can actually fit the footprint — plan for Challenger's recommended 34' x 17' minimum bay before you order, not just the lift's own dimensions.
- Buyers who want one team for sizing, delivery, install, and service — Alamo measures your bay, installs the lift, and stays the point of contact for warranty and service afterward.
What the 4030XAX Is NOT Built For
- Your heaviest loaded vehicle exceeds 30,000 lbs - capacity is not a number to round down.
- You regularly service vehicles longer than a 317" wheelbase - step up to the next deck length.
- You only ever do general service - the alignment deck is a cost you would not use.
- Your bay is smaller than 34' x 17' - the footprint does not compress.
- You are looking for a two-post - a four-post is a different tool for a different job.
What Sets the 4030XAX Apart
Configuration Highlights
- Cable-driven lift system - heavy-duty steel sheaves and cables, a design Challenger has run in the field for years.
- Single-point air-actuated lock release - all four column locks disengage together from one control.
- Six position level locking - set working height where the job needs it, not where the lift wants it.
- Anti-sway device - keeps the runways stable under off-center and heavy loads.
- Fold-down approach ramps with jack rails - drive-on access plus rolling jack compatibility.
- Alignment deck with front turntable cutouts - cut out for the 10500HD turnplates, sold separately.
- Two-wheel alignment to 292" - alignment capability sized to this model's deck length.
Where It Excels
Sustained heavy-duty service on trucks up to a 317" wheelbase, with the deck configuration matched to alignment work.
Plan Around This
Capacity, wheelbase, and building footprint have to be checked together. A lift can clear one and fail another, which is why Alamo reviews all three before quoting.
