Drive-On Express Pad: Built for Speed and Precision
The CL10A-XP9-DPC Series comes equipped with the CLXP9 Low Profile Express Service Pad, a feature that radically transforms vehicle positioning in busy express service environments. This drive-on style pad enables accurate, first-try spotting—boosting productivity and eliminating the frustration and wasted time that comes with repeated positioning attempts.
Each CLXP9 drive-on pad system includes (4) 1.5-inch rubber spotting blocks, (4) 3-inch rubber spotting blocks, and (2) spotting block storage caddies for organized, efficient tool management. The 2.25-inch platform height and 24-inch platform width provide stable, low-profile contact points, while platform length options of 58", 66.5", or 75" accommodate a wide range of vehicle wheelbases.
With a 31.5-inch width between platforms and a generous 90-inch drive-thru clearance, the CL10A-XP9-DPC gives technicians ample working space under and around the vehicle. This drive-on design is purpose-built to meet the demands of modern express service bays, where every second counts.
Dual Pendant Power Controls: Maximum Operator Convenience
The dual pendant power control system on the CL10A-XP9-DPC is engineered to keep technicians in command at all times. With control pendants positioned at both columns, operators always have easy access to lift functions, even during critical spotting maneuvers.
Always Within Reach: Dual pendant controls remain accessible when small spotting adjustments matter most, expediting vehicle positioning by providing an unobstructed view to lifting points.
OSHA Compliant Safety: Keyed lockout safety button locks out power to the lift, meeting OSHA compliance standards and preventing unauthorized use.
Up Power Button: Raises the lift smoothly and reliably.
Down Power Button / Dual Single-Point Mechanical Lock Release: Lowers the lift from either column with the convenience of a dual single-point mechanical lock release system, providing unmatched operator flexibility and safety.
