The Challenger 44050 is engineered as an economic yet powerful high-capacity lifting solution for the most demanding commercial applications. With a 50,000 lb. lifting capacity, this heavy-duty chain-driven four-post lift handles large commercial trucks, waste vehicles, transit buses, and construction equipment with ease. Now available in a sleek new black color, this lift combines rugged industrial strength with professional aesthetics.
Built on a traditional 4-post design with modern engineering enhancements, the Challenger 44050 features heavy-duty, high tensile strength leaf chain and sealed roller bearings for maximum reliability and longevity in the toughest shop environments. The variable-synchro power system with dual hydraulic lift cylinders gives you precise control — you can variably or simultaneously raise the front or rear lift suspension, providing a stable platform when lifting vehicles with uneven weight distribution or heavier front or rear axles.
Diamond plated anti-skid runways and heavy-duty fixed approach ramps deliver positive vehicle traction and long-lasting durability, while the adjustable runways accommodate a wide variety of tread and axle widths. The built-in runway rail system allows you to add optional convenience accessories like rolling jacks and sliding drain pans, transforming this lift into a complete service platform for any heavy-duty job.
Independent Control Console
The independent control console is mounted away from the hydraulic lift for safe and convenient access to all power controls. This thoughtfully designed control station features the variable-synchro power system that allows you to raise and lower the front or rear suspension either simultaneously or independently — perfect for balancing vehicles with uneven weight distribution. The console includes dual pressure gauges for real-time monitoring and a single point air lock release button for quick, safe unlocking of all column locks at once.
Diamond Plate Anti-Skid Ramps
The Challenger 44050 comes equipped with heavy-duty diamond plate anti-skid ramps that are securely bolted down for safe and easy drive-on access. These fixed approach ramps provide superior vehicle traction and are built to withstand years of heavy commercial use. The 32" wide runways feature the same durable diamond plate construction, ensuring positive grip for all tire types and conditions. The adjustable runway width (36" - 58" between runways) lets you accommodate virtually any vehicle configuration from narrow delivery vans to wide-body commercial trucks.
Twin Ladder Lock Positions
The 10-level twin ladder lock positions provide versatile working heights for a wide variety of service work on many different vehicle types. With a 73" rise height, you have plenty of clearance for underbody inspections, transmission work, exhaust repairs, and complete undercarriage service. The dual ladder lock system engages automatically as the lift rises, and can be released simultaneously via the air actuated lock release for fast, safe repositioning. This design ensures that technicians always have a comfortable, ergonomic working height regardless of the task or vehicle size.
The Challenger 44050 includes a built-in runway rail system that accepts a range of optional convenience accessories. Add rolling jacks for wheels-free service, integrate a sliding oil drain pan for clean fluid changes, or install other specialty tools to customize your service bay. This rail system transforms your four-post lift into a comprehensive service platform tailored to your shop's specific needs.
The Challenger 44050 Series is offered in standard (Model 44050 with 36' overall length and 310" maximum wheelbase), extended (Model 44050E with 41' overall length and 370" maximum wheelbase), and extra-long (Model 44050X with 46' overall length and 430" maximum wheelbase) configurations. This range ensures you can accommodate vehicles from compact delivery trucks to extended-chassis buses and construction equipment.
