Why Choose the CL4P9X?
The Challenger CL4P9 series was designed from the ground up with versatility, safety, and convenience at the core. From home enthusiast garages and commercial storage applications to light-duty general service needs, these lifts complement your workflow and are loaded with real benefits. They are essential for the "do it yourself" home garage, providing the best of both worlds: store a vehicle up top and park another below with up to 80 inches of clearance when the lift is fully raised, or use the lift for hands-on vehicle service.
The CL4P9X ex-length model takes this versatility even further with its extended runway design, making it ideal for long-wheelbase trucks, SUVs, vans, and specialty vehicles. Whether you're a shop owner looking to maximize bay efficiency or a car collector creating a private showroom, the CL4P9X offers unlimited layout options and exceptional build quality.
Another standout feature of the CL4P9 series free-standing four-post lift is its portability. You can choose between bolting it down for a permanent installation or leaving it free-standing, giving you the freedom to relocate the lift anywhere in your shop or garage. If convenience and flexibility are important to you, the free-standing four-post lift is an outstanding option.
With optional rolling jacks, ramp upgrades, oil drip trays, and more, you'll be able to accommodate just about anything that comes into the garage—and you'll have room to grow, all at a reasonable cost.

Service Application
Professional-grade quality with an impressive 80" high rise and multiple lock positions makes the CL4P9X perfect for light-duty service up to 9,000 lb. capacity. The extended runway length provides ample space to position vehicles comfortably, while the built-in runway rail system gives you flexibility to add optional rolling jacks and jack trays for quick tire and brake work access. The lift's single-point manual lock release and smooth hydraulic operation make service tasks faster, safer, and more efficient.
Storage Application
The CL4P9X excels as a storage solution, letting you store a vehicle up top while parking another underneath for everyday use. With 80" rise height, most full-size vehicles fit easily underneath the stored vehicle, maximizing your garage footprint and protecting valuable collections. An optional drip tray set completes the storage application, keeping any fluids from contacting the vehicle underneath and ensuring a clean, safe environment for both cars.
The ex-length design of the CL4P9X is particularly beneficial for owners of longer trucks, classic muscle cars, extended vans, or multi-vehicle collectors looking to double their garage capacity.
Multiple Power Unit Locations
The CL4P9X power unit can be mounted on either the front column of the driver's side or the back column of the passenger side of the lift. This intelligent design provides convenient power control accessibility and exceptional versatility for any garage or shop layout. Whether you're working with tight spaces, optimizing workflow, or accommodating existing equipment, the flexible power unit placement ensures you get the most out of your bay.
The 1 HP motor is available in 115V or 220V configurations (must be specified at time of order), giving you installation flexibility based on your existing electrical setup. The 220V motor offers faster rise speed (60 seconds vs. 120 seconds on 115V), ideal for high-volume service environments.
Built for Durability & Stability
The CL4P9X features commercial-grade formed runways that ensure a strong, stable platform under load. Larger columns and base plates (exclusive to 9,000 lb. models) add exceptional stability and rigidity, even when the lift is fully extended. The lift's adjustable lock ladders allow for a versatile install with sensitivity to uneven floors, ensuring safe, reliable operation in real-world garage conditions.
A durable powder coat finish provides long-lasting protection against shop environments, ensuring your investment stands up to years of demanding use. Combined with the ALI/ETL certification that does not require anchoring, the CL4P9X offers confidence, flexibility, and peace of mind right out of the box.
