Challenger CLMM Medium Duty Mobile Column ALI Lift (Single) #CLMM-5000

Challenger 5,000 lb Medium-Duty Mobile Column Lift

A mobile service operation or light-commercial shop needs to lift passenger cars and light vans in the field, at a customer's lot, or in a bay that changes from job to job — but a heavy-duty column set built for buses and 4-axle trucks is overkill, harder to move, and more expensive than the job requires. That gap is where the Challenger CLMM-5000 fits.

The CLMM-5000 is a medium-duty mobile column rated at 5,000 lbs per column, sold individually and typically run as a set of 4 for 20,000 lbs of total capacity. That puts it in a different weight class entirely from the CLHM series (12,500–19,000 lbs per column) built for heavy trucks and buses — the CLMM-5000 is sized specifically for light-to-medium commercial vehicles and passenger cars. It adds heavy-duty tow handles and spring-loaded wheels built for being rolled shop-to-shop, not just bay-to-bay, which matters for mobile service work the CLHM columns aren't designed around.

Who the CLMM-5000 Is Built For

• A mobile service operation that needs to tow its lift equipment from job to job, not just reposition it within one fixed shop.
• A light-commercial or passenger-vehicle shop that doesn't need the CLHM series' 12,500+ lb per-column heavy-truck capacity and would rather not pay for capacity it won't use.
• A shop running a 4-column set for 20,000 lbs total capacity on cars, SUVs, and light vans, where a full heavy-duty column set would be oversized for the vehicle mix.
• An operation working across uneven shop floors or outdoor surfaces where spring-loaded wheels make a real difference in day-to-day maneuverability.
• A shop prioritizing a wireless, no-air-required setup so columns can be moved and set up without running compressed air lines to each position.
• A budget-conscious buyer who wants Challenger build quality and 110V charging convenience without the cost premium of the heavy-duty CLHM line.

What the CLMM-5000 Is NOT Built For

The CLMM-5000's 5,000 lb per-column rating isn't enough for heavy trucks, buses, or large commercial vehicles — for that range, step up to the CLHM-140 (14,000 lbs per column) or the CLHM-190 (19,000 lbs per column). Note also that the CLMM-5000 is not ALI certified, unlike the CLHM series — if certified equipment is a requirement for your shop's insurance or compliance program, factor that in before ordering.

What Makes the CLMM-5000 Different

Set of 4 = 20,000 lb. Total Capacity

Four CLMM-5000 columns wirelessly connected lift a full vehicle up to 20,000 lbs total. That's purpose-sized for light-to-medium commercial vehicles and passenger cars — not the heavy-truck and bus range the CLHM series is built for. A shop whose vehicle mix tops out in this range gets the right-sized equipment instead of paying for heavy-duty capacity that never gets used.

Heavy-Duty Tow Handles

The CLMM-5000's tow handles are built to move the column shop-to-shop, not just bay-to-bay. For a mobile service operation, that's the difference between equipment that stays fixed to one location and equipment that travels with the job.

Spring-Loaded Wheels

Spring-loaded wheels absorb the bumps of uneven shop floors, gravel lots, or transition seams between indoor and outdoor surfaces — without needing a powered dolly to move the column comfortably.

Wireless, No Air Required

The CLMM-5000 runs entirely on battery power, with no compressed air line required at the column position. For mobile or field service work, that removes one more piece of infrastructure the crew would otherwise have to set up before they can start lifting.

110V Charging System

Columns charge off standard household-voltage (110V) power — no dedicated high-voltage circuit needed at the charging station, which keeps the setup simple whether the columns charge at a shop or in a service truck overnight.
