Challenger 9K Drive-On Express Pad 2-Post Lift #CL10A-XP9-3-QC

Challenger CL10A-XP9-3-QC 9,000 lb Drive-On Express Pad 2-Post Lift

Repositioning conventional lift arms two or three times before a vehicle sits square costs real minutes on every car. The CL10A-XP9-3-QC skips that step entirely with a drive-on express pad.

It's rated at 9,000 lb with a drive-on express pad instead of arms — the vehicle drives straight on and is centered on the first try. It runs Challenger's standard single-point power controls. QuickCycle trims the rise and lower time down to 27 seconds up / 17 seconds down. This configuration adds a 3' column extension, standing 176" overall — plan for a 15' minimum ceiling.

Who the CL10A-XP9-3-QC Is Built For

• Express and high-volume bays — tire, brake, quick-lube, and inspection work where spotting time is the bottleneck, not the job itself.
• Vehicles within the 9,000 lb rating — cars, crossovers, and light trucks that fit the drive-on pad footprint without needing arm adapters.
• Single-operator shops that don't need dual-station controls — one control point keeps the lift simpler to run and typically costs less than a DPC configuration.
• High-volume bays counting minutes per vehicle — QuickCycle's faster rise and lower adds up across a full day of cycles.
• Bays that can clear 176" of column height — a 15' minimum ceiling is required for this configuration; measure before you order.

What the CL10A-XP9-3-QC Is NOT Built For

Skip this configuration if your ceiling cannot clear 176", your vehicles exceed 9,000 lbs, or your work routinely requires wheels-free suspension access that a drive-on pad does not provide. When any of those are borderline, call Alamo at (817) 865-3707 before you order.

What Makes the CL10A-XP9-3-QC Different

Configuration Highlights

• Conventional power controls - a single control station with single-point mechanical lock release.

• Drive-on express pad - 24" wide platforms sitting 2.25" off the floor for first-try spotting.
• Reinforced flip-up ramps - front and rear ramps lock upright to extend usable platform length.
• Adjustable platform length - 58" / 66.5" / 75" to match short and long wheelbases.
• 48" elongated carriage - spreads load across the column for longer service life.
• Spotting block kit included - (4) 1.5" and (4) 3" rubber blocks with (2) column-mounted storage caddies.
• Column height - 176" overall, requiring a 15' minimum ceiling.

Bay Planning Numbers

The measurements that matter here: 176" column height, 138.5" overall width, 90" drive-thru clearance, and 110" inside the columns. Compare those against doors, lights, air lines, drains, and any overhead obstruction.

Electrical and Install Coordination

Published electrical for this configuration is 3HP, 208v-230v, 60Hz, 1Ph. Have a licensed electrician confirm the circuit, disconnect, and local code requirements ahead of installation day.
