Challenger CL4P9S — 9,000 lbs 4-Post Lift
A one-car garage with two vehicles is a daily inconvenience — something's always parked in the driveway, exposed to weather, or blocking the other car in. The Challenger CL4P9S 4-post lift solves that by adding a second parking level: drive one vehicle up onto the deck, park or service the other underneath with up to 73-1/4" of clearance. It's built for the home garage and light-duty DIY use, not a commercial shop floor, and it's priced and sized accordingly.
The CL4P9S runs on a single hydraulic cylinder with a cable system — plug it in and lift, no complex hydraulic network to install or maintain. It can be bolted to the floor for maximum stability or left free-standing if you want the option to relocate it later. ALI/ETL certification backs the 9,000 lb rating with independent third-party testing. Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059 to confirm your garage's ceiling height and floor space before ordering.
Who the CL4P9S Is Built For
- The home garage owner who bought a second vehicle and ran out of floor space — this lift turns one parking spot into two by stacking storage vertically
- DIY enthusiasts who want to do their own oil changes, brake work, and suspension jobs at home instead of paying shop labor rates for routine maintenance
- Buyers who've been burned by an uncertified import 4-post lift before and specifically want ALI/ETL certified construction backing their next purchase
- Homeowners who aren't sure if they'll stay in the same garage long-term and want the option to leave the lift free-standing rather than committing to a bolt-down install
- Anyone comparing 4-post home storage lifts on price who wants Challenger's 5-year structural warranty term as part of that comparison
What the CL4P9S Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Commercial shops running the lift daily at high volume — this is a home-storage/light-duty lift, not a heavy-duty commercial service platform
- ❌ Vehicles or storage needs requiring more than 73-1/4" of rise clearance — the CL4P9X offers 85-1/2" if you need more headroom underneath
- ❌ Bays shorter than the minimum 11' x 22' recommended footprint
Questions about fit or capacity? Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059.
What Makes the CL4P9S Different
Dual-Purpose Design — Service Platform or Storage Deck
The CL4P9S isn't just a storage rack — the deck itself is a legitimate 9,000 lb service platform. Drive a vehicle up for an oil change or suspension work, or use the same deck purely for long-term parking storage while the space underneath stays open for a second vehicle or a workbench.
Multiple Power Unit Location
The power unit mounts on either the front column (driver's side) or the back column (passenger side), whichever makes more sense for your garage's electrical layout and walkway clearance. That flexibility matters in a home garage where outlet placement and floor space are usually fixed constraints, not choices.
Free-Standing or Bolt-Down Installation
The CL4P9S can be installed free-standing (no floor anchoring) for portability, or bolted down for maximum stability during use. Free-standing is the right call if you might relocate the lift or aren't ready to commit to permanent anchor points in your garage slab; bolt-down is the safer choice for daily heavy use.
115V or 220V Power Options
The CL4P9S runs on a 1 HP motor compatible with either 115V or 220V single-phase power — 115V rise time is 120 seconds, 220V cuts that to 60 seconds. Most home garages already have 115V available; 220V requires a dedicated circuit but roughly halves your wait time on every lift cycle.
ALI/ETL Certified Construction
The CL4P9S is ALI/ETL certified — independently tested and verified against automotive lift safety standards, not just a manufacturer's own capacity claim. For a home-garage lift, that certification is the difference between a documented, insurable installation and an unverified import unit.
- ✅ Home garage owners who want to double their usable space — park one vehicle on the deck, service or store another underneath
- ✅ DIY enthusiasts doing light-duty general service work (oil changes, brake jobs, suspension work) up to 9,000 lbs
- ✅ Buyers who want ALI/ETL certified construction at a home-garage price point rather than an uncertified import lift
- ✅ Shops or homeowners who want the flexibility to bolt the lift down for stability or leave it free-standing for portability
- ✅ Garages with a standard bay length where the compact 209-1/2" footprint fits without needing the EX-Length runways
- ❌ Commercial shops running the lift daily at high volume — this is a home-storage/light-duty lift, not a heavy-duty commercial service platform
- ❌ Vehicles or storage needs requiring more than 73-1/4" of rise clearance — the CL4P9X offers 85-1/2" if you need more headroom underneath
- ❌ Bays shorter than the minimum 11' x 22' recommended footprint
CL4P9S vs. Challenger CL4P9X (9,000 lb, EX-Length) — Which Lift Is Right for Your Garage?
| Decision Point | CL4P9S | Challenger CL4P9X (9,000 lb, EX-Length) |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 9,000 lbs | 9,000 lbs |
| ALI Certification | ALI/ETL Certified | ALI/ETL Certified |
| Length overall | 209-1/2" | 233-1/2" (24" longer) |
| Rise height | 73-1/4" | 85-1/2" (12-1/4" more clearance) |
| Runway length | 164" | 188" |
| Column height | 84-1/2" | 96-1/2" |
| Best fit | Standard-length runways for a more compact bay footprint | Extended runways + taller rise for longer wheelbase vehicles and higher storage clearance |
Choose the CL4P9S when your bay length is limited and you don't need the extra clearance or runway length of the EX-Length model. Choose the CL4P9X when you're storing or servicing longer-wheelbase vehicles, or want extra rise height for taller storage clearance underneath. Both stay inside Alamo’s catalog — call (844) 480-6059.
