Site Prep - What Your Garage Needs Before Install Day
The prep list for a home-storage lift is short. If anything below is uncertain, call us first.
Placement
Free-standing or bolt-to-floor, either way keeps ALI/ETL certification -- decide based on whether you want to drill your garage slab.
Electrical
The CL4P7 runs on a 1HP/2HP motor at 115V or 230V, single phase -- most home garages already have one of these circuits available.
No Air Required
Unlike shop-grade lifts, the CL4P7 doesn't need a compressed-air line run to it.
Alamo does not just ship this lift and leave. We size it to your garage, coordinate the freight, and install it correctly the first time.

Challenger CL4P7-ER
Running out of covered space for a second vehicle or a project car is a common home-garage problem, and parking outside isn't the fix most owners actually want. The Challenger CL4P7-ER is Alamo's answer: a 7,000 lb capacity home-storage lift with extended approach ramps for easier drive-on access. It installs free-standing or bolt-to-floor, uses a single-point manual lock release, and runs on a 115V/230V power unit with a single hydraulic cylinder and cable system.
Up to 63 in of clearance height in the top-locked position makes this a practical storage lift for a second vehicle, and the commercial-grade formed runways provide a stable platform. Air is not required for operation, and anchoring is not required to maintain ALI/ETL certification.
Who the CL4P7-ER Is Built For
- Home enthusiasts storing a second vehicle — up to 63" of clearance height in the top-locked position means a car can park underneath while another sits stored above.
- DIY garages doing light service, not fleet work — 7,000 lbs and a 141.5" max wheelbase cover the overwhelming majority of passenger cars and light trucks -- this is a home-garage tool, not a shop lift.
- Garages that want extended approach ramps — the CL4P7-ER ships with extended ramps; its sibling CL4P7-SR uses standard ramps if that suits your driveway or garage layout better.
- Buyers without shop air or three-phase power — air is not required for operation, and the 1HP/2HP 115V/230V motor runs on standard household or garage circuits.
- Buyers who want free-standing OR bolt-to-floor flexibility — the CL4P7 can be installed either way without losing ALI/ETL certification -- your garage floor doesn't have to be drilled if you don't want it to be.
What the CL4P7-ER Is NOT Built For
- You're running a commercial service bay, not a home garage -- step up to the 18,000 lb 44018 or 4018XFX.
- Your heaviest vehicle exceeds a 141.5" wheelbase or 7,000 lbs -- this lift will not clear that.
- You need a faster rise -- 120 seconds on 115V is slow next to a 230V-only commercial lift.
- You want ALI certification paired with heavy-duty fleet capacity -- that's a different product class.
- You need adjustable runway spacing -- the CL4P7's 38" width between runways is fixed.
What Sets the CL4P7-ER Apart
- 7,000 lb lifting capacity
- Extended approach ramps for easier drive-on access
- Free-standing or bolt-to-floor installation
- Single-point manual lock release
- Air not required for operation
- Anchoring not required to maintain ALI/ETL certification
- Commercial-grade formed runways
- Powder coat finish
- Black columns
Compare CL4P7 Configurations
| Model | Ramp Type |
| CL4P7-ER | Extended approach ramps -- easier drive-on access, especially for lower-clearance vehicles |
| CL4P7-SR | Standard approach ramps -- smaller footprint if bay space is tight |
Both share the same 7,000 lb capacity, free-standing or bolt-to-floor install, and ALI/ETL certification without anchoring.
