Mahle ShopPRO CML-9W Mobile Column Lift Wireless Wide Base, Single/Sets
Lifting wide-wheelbase trucks and buses on a standard-footprint column system can leave less stability margin than a heavy-duty shop wants. The Mahle CML-9W is built for that: a 19,000 lb per-column (9.5-ton) wireless mobile column lift with a wide-base configuration, scalable from a single column up to a full 8-column, 152,000 lb set.
The CML-9W runs wirelessly on 24VDC battery power — no cables between columns — and charges from standard 70-130 VAC service. Call Alamo at (844) 480-6059 to confirm your fleet's typical vehicle weight and wheelbase before choosing between a single column and a multi-column set.
Who the CML-9W Is Built For
- The fleet shop servicing wide-wheelbase trucks and buses where the standard-base CML-9's footprint doesn't offer the stability margin they want at that vehicle weight
- The commercial shop starting with a single CML-9W column and planning to scale to a set of 4, 6, or 8 as their heavy-vehicle service volume grows, without re-buying a whole new system
- The shop that wants wireless, cable-free columns specifically to keep the floor clear of trip hazards in a busy heavy-truck bay
- The shop whose current lift setup requires physical cabling between columns, creating setup delays and floor clutter on every heavy vehicle lift
- The buyer comparing this against the standard-base CML-9 and confirming their vehicle mix genuinely needs the wider base before paying the price difference
What the CML-9W Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Shops without a genuine need for wide-base stability — the standard-base CML-9 covers the same 19,000 lb capacity at a lower price for typical wheelbases
- ❌ Light-duty passenger vehicle shops — mobile columns at this capacity are built for trucks, buses, and commercial fleet work
- ❌ Shops needing a fixed, always-in-place lift — mobile columns require floor space to reposition and store when not lifting
What Makes the CML-9W Different
Wide-Base Stability
The wide-base configuration adds footprint stability for wider wheelbases and heavier commercial vehicles compared to the standard-base CML-9.
Wireless, Battery-Powered Operation
Each column runs on 24VDC battery power with no cables between columns — faster setup and a safer floor with nothing to trip over.
Synchronized Multi-Column Lifting
Columns communicate wirelessly to lift in sync, scaling from a single column up to a full 8-column set for heavier vehicles.
19,000 lb Capacity Per Column
At 9.5 tons per column, a set of 4 handles up to 76,000 lbs total — sized for heavy trucks, buses, and commercial fleet vehicles.
No Minimum Wheel Diameter Restriction
A 4" minimum wheel diameter with no stated maximum gives broad coverage across commercial and fleet wheel sizes.
- ✅ Fleet and commercial shops servicing wide-wheelbase trucks and buses needing extra footprint stability
- ✅ Shops needing to scale from a single column up to a full 8-column set as vehicle demand grows
- ✅ Shops wanting cable-free, wireless operation across the entire column set
- ❌ Shops without a genuine need for wide-base stability — the standard-base CML-9 covers the same 19,000 lb capacity at a lower price for typical wheelbases
- ❌ Light-duty passenger vehicle shops — mobile columns at this capacity are built for trucks, buses, and commercial fleet work
- ❌ Shops needing a fixed, always-in-place lift — mobile columns require floor space to reposition and store when not lifting
CML-9W vs. Mahle CML-9 (standard base, 9.5 ton) — Which Is Right for Your Shop?
| Decision Point | CML-9W | Mahle CML-9 (standard base, 9.5 ton) |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity per column | 19,000 lbs | 19,000 lbs |

Choose the CML-9W when your vehicle mix genuinely needs the wide-base stability margin. Choose the standard-base CML-9 at the same 9.5-ton capacity for a lower price if your wheelbases don't require the wider footprint. Both stay inside Alamo’s catalog — call (844) 480-6059.
