Revolutionary Versymmetric Technology Changes Everything
The VLE10's groundbreaking Versymmetric technology represents a quantum leap in two-post lift design. Instead of forcing you to choose between symmetric or asymmetric configurations, this innovative system lets you adjust vehicle positioning forward or rearward to optimize the center of gravity relative to the columns. This flexibility means perfect balance and safety regardless of whether you're lifting a front-heavy truck or a rear-engine sports car.
The 3-stage front arms provide an impressive reach range from 22.3125" to 39.375", while the 2-stage rear arms extend from 38.375" to 55.375". This exceptional arm sweep accommodates vehicles ranging from compact imports to full-size pickup trucks, including many of the Forbes Top 20 Best-Selling Vehicles. The wide adjustment range means you'll rarely encounter a vehicle that doesn't fit perfectly on this lift.
Perfect for Low-Ceiling Applications
The standard 143.875" overall height makes the VLE10 ideal for shops with 12-foot ceilings - a common limitation that eliminates many lift options. Despite this compact profile, the lift still delivers an impressive 74.75" rise height with screw pads at their highest position, providing excellent undercarriage access for thorough service work.
Professional Grade Features at Economy Pricing
Challenger packed premium features typically found on higher-priced lifts into this economy-grade platform. The jacketed pulley-less single-point mechanical lock release system, once exclusive to their premium CL series, comes standard on the VLE10. This system allows technicians to disengage both columns simultaneously from a single release point, streamlining operations and improving safety.
Double telescoping screw pads with rubber foot pads provide secure, damage-free contact with vehicle lifting points. The telescoping design accommodates various frame heights while the rubber pads protect painted and coated surfaces from scratches or gouges during lifting operations.
The padded overhead shut-off system prevents vehicle damage from over-lifting, automatically stopping the lift before contact occurs. Combined with integrated rubber door guards that protect vehicle panels from inadvertent contact, these safety features demonstrate Challenger's commitment to protecting both vehicles and technicians.
Built for Daily Commercial Use
The premium powder coat finish withstands the harsh chemicals, fluids, and daily wear common in busy automotive service environments. Plated arm restraints and pins resist corrosion and provide long-lasting durability that maintains smooth operation throughout the lift's service life.
Lightning-Fast 44-Second Rise Time
The impressive 44-second rise time sets the VLE10 apart from slower competitors, reducing cycle times and increasing daily throughput in busy shops. This speed advantage adds up quickly over multiple lifts per day, allowing you to service more vehicles and generate higher revenue from the same floor space and labor hours.
The 2HP motor provides reliable power while operating on standard 208v-230v single-phase electrical service common in most automotive facilities. The 98.375" drive-thru clearance accommodates most passenger vehicles and light trucks while maintaining the compact footprint essential for efficient shop layouts.
Space-Efficient Design Maximizes Shop Layout
The 110.25" distance between columns provides generous vehicle accommodation while maintaining a relatively compact footprint. The 131.625" overall width fits efficiently into standard service bay layouts without wasting valuable floor space that could be used for additional lifts or equipment storage.
For shops with taller ceilings, the extended height option increases overall height to 167.875" while raising the overhead switch position to 161" from the floor. This configuration accommodates taller vehicles while maintaining the same exceptional performance characteristics.
ALI Certification Ensures Safety and Compliance
ALI certification verifies that the VLE10 meets rigorous automotive lift safety standards established by the Automotive Lift Institute. This certification provides peace of mind for shop owners and insurance companies while ensuring compliance with workplace safety regulations.
The 10,000 lb capacity with 2,500 lb maximum load per arm provides substantial safety margins for most passenger vehicles, light trucks, and SUVs. This capacity handles everything from subcompact cars to full-size pickup trucks safely and confidently.
The Versymmetric technology, combined with economy-grade pricing, makes the VLE10 an exceptional value for shops seeking maximum flexibility without premium lift pricing. The ability to handle both symmetric and asymmetric lifting configurations eliminates the need for multiple specialized lifts, maximizing the return on your equipment investment.
Add the Challenger VLE10 Versymmetric Two-Post Lift to your cart today and experience the game-changing flexibility that lets you optimize every vehicle lift for perfect balance, safety, and technician access.
