Extended Length Capability for Maximum Vehicle Coverage
The 4P14XFX's standout feature is its extended 210" wheelbase capacity, which opens up service opportunities that standard lifts simply can't handle. This extra length accommodates extended cab pickup trucks, full-size cargo vans, limousines, and other long-wheelbase commercial vehicles that represent lucrative service opportunities for shops willing to invest in the right equipment.
The 273.25" overall length provides ample platform space while the 223.5" distance between columns ensures vehicles sit securely within the lift structure. This extended design doesn't compromise on stability or safety - it simply extends the proven 4P14 platform to handle longer vehicles with the same confidence and reliability you expect from Challenger equipment.
Premium Features That Deliver Value
Despite its extended length, the 4P14XFX maintains all the premium features that make Challenger lifts exceptional. The louvered approach ramps provide superior traction for safe vehicle loading, while the 20" wide runways offer plenty of room for confident positioning. Automatic wheel stops prevent roll-off incidents, and the solid piece column construction ensures decades of reliable operation.
Industry-Leading Rise Height and Working Flexibility
The remarkable 78" rise height sets this lift apart from competitors who typically offer 72" or less. This extra clearance makes an enormous difference when working on taller vehicles like lifted trucks, commercial vans, or SUVs. You'll have comfortable standing room underneath even the largest vehicles, eliminating the back-breaking crouch work that plagues technicians using lower-rise lifts.
Fourteen precision locking positions allow you to position any vehicle at the perfect working height for the task at hand. Whether you're doing routine maintenance, complex undercarriage repairs, or exhaust system work, you can dial in the exact height that maximizes comfort and efficiency. This ergonomic flexibility reduces technician fatigue and increases productivity throughout the workday.
Built for Commercial Durability and Performance
Challenger's reputation for building lifts that last shows throughout the 4P14XFX's construction. Premium-grade hydraulic cylinders deliver ultra-smooth operation and won't develop leaks after the warranty period ends. The powder coat finish stands up to years of shop use, while the robust frame construction handles the daily stresses of commercial vehicle lifting.
The closed front design provides maximum structural integrity while accommodating the longest wheelbases. This isn't just about fitting longer vehicles - it's about lifting them safely and securely with the same confidence you'd have with a standard passenger car. The ALI and ETL certifications verify that this extended-length lift meets the same rigorous safety standards as all Challenger equipment.
Expandable Service Capabilities
Optional accessories transform the 4P14XFX from a general service lift into a comprehensive service platform. Rolling jacks enable complete wheel and tire service, while oil drain pans streamline fluid changes on larger vehicles. The bolt-on alignment kit converts this lift into a 3D alignment-capable system, allowing you to offer profitable wheel alignment services on the same platform.
Professional Installation and Power Requirements
The extended length requires a minimum 12' x 26' service bay - just 2 feet longer than the standard model's requirement. The lift operates on standard 208v-230v single-phase power with a 2HP motor and requires 90-120 PSI shop air for operation. The 90-second rise time provides smooth, controlled lifting that's gentle on vehicles while maintaining reasonable cycle times for busy shops.
Installation follows standard four-post lift procedures with appropriate anchor bolt patterns for the extended frame. The textured black finish coordinates with any shop décor while providing excellent durability and professional appearance.
