Challenger 10K Versymmetric® 2-Post Lift #CL10AV3-2

Challenger CL10AV3-2 10,000 lb Versymmetric® 2-Post Lift (2' Extensions)

Bought a 10K two-post lift only to find a taller SUV or van won't clear the columns at full rise? That's the ceiling-clearance gap the CL10AV3-2 closes.

The CL10AV3-2 runs on Challenger's Versymmetric® platform, with directSPOT™ 3-stage front and rear arms so the same lift reaches factory lift points on a sedan one cycle and a full-size pickup the next, without an arm or adapter swap in between. It runs Challenger's standard single-point control layout — simpler to operate, and typically a lower price than a dual-pendant configuration.

Columns stand 13' 2" / 13' 8" tall on this configuration — plan for a 14'+ ceiling minimum and measure to your lowest overhead obstruction, not the ceiling peak, before you order.

Who the CL10AV3-2 Is Built For

• Shops with a 14'+ ceiling that keep running into column-height limits — the CL10AV3-2's 13' 2" / 13' 8" columns give you the overhead clearance a standard-column 10K model can't, without forcing a jump to a 12K or 15K lift you don't need for the capacity.
• Bays that see both passenger cars and trucks in the same shift — Versymmetric® arm geometry spots symmetrically for trucks and vans and asymmetrically for cars, so the tech doesn't reconfigure anything switching between a sedan and a pickup.
• Single-operator shops that don't need dual-station controls — one control point keeps the lift simpler to operate and typically lowers the price versus a DPC configuration, without giving up capacity or arm reach.
• Shops that don't need QuickCycle™ speed — standard-speed rise and lower is plenty for lower-volume bays or shops that would rather put the budget toward other equipment.
• Buyers who want one team for sizing, delivery, install, and service — Alamo measures your bay, installs the lift, and stays the call for warranty and service afterward instead of handing you off to a separate installer.

What the CL10AV3-2 Is NOT Built For

This is not the right choice when your ceiling can't clear the 13' 8" columns, your vehicles exceed 10,000 lbs, or your slab hasn't been verified. If your ceiling is lower, look at the standard CL10AV3 instead, or call Alamo at (817) 865-3707.

What Makes the CL10AV3-2 Different

2' Column Extensions

The single differentiator versus the standard CL10AV3 is column height: the -2 adds 2-foot extensions, raising the columns to 13' 2" / 13' 8". That buys extra overhead clearance for taller vehicles - as long as your ceiling has the room.

• Same 10,000 lb capacity and Versymmetric® directSPOT™ arms as the base model.
• Taller columns need a taller ceiling - measure before you commit the bay.
• Ask Alamo to confirm the -2 vs. standard CL10AV3 for your ceiling height.

Bay Planning Numbers

The measurements that matter: 13' 2" / 13' 8" column height, 12' ½" overall width, and 106" drive-through clearance. Check these against doors, lights, air lines, drains, and any overhead obstruction.

Electrical and Install Coordination

The published electrical line is 208-230V, 60Hz, 1Ph, 20A. Have a licensed electrician confirm the circuit and final local requirements before installation day.
