Overview

The Challenger Lifts CL10V3-DPC is a two-post, surface-mounted vehicle lift designed for installation, operation, and maintenance in a service bay. This model features a Versymmetric™ design and DUAL PENDANT CONTROL, offering flexibility and ease of use for lifting vehicles up to 10,000 lbs.

Function Description:

The CL10V3-DPC lift is designed to raise and lower vehicles for maintenance and repair. Its Versymmetric™ design allows for both symmetric and asymmetric lifting, accommodating a wide range of vehicle types and sizes. The dual pendant control system provides convenient operation from either side of the lift, enhancing efficiency and safety. The lift operates hydraulically, utilizing a power unit to drive cylinders that raise the carriages and arms. A synchronizing cable system ensures that both columns raise and lower in unison, maintaining a level lift. Safety locks engage automatically as the lift rises, providing secure support for the vehicle at various heights. An overhead limit switch prevents the lift from over-raising and contacting the overhead beam.

Important Technical Specifications:

The CL10V3-DPC series offers several configurations, denoted by CL10, CL10-2, and CL10-3, which primarily differ in column height and corresponding floor to overhead switch clearance.

  • Lifting Capacity: 10,000 lbs. (2500 lbs. per arm). This capacity is based on loads equally distributed on all four arms.
  • Hydraulic Pressure at Capacity: 2750 psi.
  • Column Height (A):
    • CL10: 11'-2" or 11'-8"
    • CL10-2: 13'-2" or 13'-8"
    • CL10-3: 14'-2" or 14'-8"
  • Floor to Overhead Switch (B):
    • CL10: 10'-8 1/2" or 11'-2 1/2"
    • CL10-2: 12'-8 1/2" or 13'-2 1/2"
    • CL10-3: 13'-8 1/2" or 14'-2 1/2"
  • Rise Height (C) (Screw Pads Highest Position): 74 1/8"
  • Cylinder Height (D) (Full Stroke): 11'-11" (Note: Cylinder height "D" will extend past column height "A" on standard CL10 only).
  • Adjustable Overall Width (E): 11'-11" or 11'-6 1/2"
  • Screw Pad Height (F): 3 7/8" to 6 1/8"
  • Inside of Columns (G): 110" or 114 1/2"
  • Arm Reach Front/Rear (Min.-Max.): Front (20"-42") / Rear (37-5/8"-60")
  • Drive Thru Clearance: 100" or 104 1/2"
  • Ceiling Height Required:
    • CL10: 12'
    • CL10-2: 13'-3" or 13'-9"
    • CL10-3: 14'-3" or 14'-9"
  • Lifting Time:
    • Standard DPC: 38 Sec. (approximate)
    • Quick Cycle DPC: 24 Sec. (approximate)
  • Motor:
    • Standard DPC: 2HP, Single Phase, 60Hz, 208/230V
    • Quick Cycle DPC: 3HP, Single Phase, 60Hz, 208/230V
  • Concrete Requirements: Minimum 4 inches depth, with steel reinforcement, 3500 psi, cured for 28 days. Floor must be level within 3/8 inch over the installation area. No anchors within 8 inches of any crack, edge, or expansion joint.
  • Operating Ambient Temperature: 5 - 40°C (41-104°F) for indoor use only.
  • Electrical Requirements: Dedicated circuit with 30 Amp double pole breaker or time delay fuse. Wiring must comply with local electrical codes.

Usage Features:

  • Versymmetric™ Design: Allows for flexible vehicle positioning, accommodating both symmetric and asymmetric lifting needs.
  • Dual Pendant Control (DPC): Provides control buttons (Raise and Lower) on both columns, allowing operators to work from either side of the lift for convenience and improved line of sight.
  • Surface Mounted: Designed for installation directly on a suitable concrete floor, simplifying setup compared to in-ground lifts.
  • Adjustable Overall Width: The lift's overall width can be adjusted to suit different bay sizes and vehicle requirements.
  • Adjustable Screw Pads: Screw pads can be adjusted in height (3 7/8" to 6 1/8") to ensure proper contact with vehicle lift points.
  • Arm Restraints: Automatically engage when the lift is raised and disengage when fully lowered, preventing arm movement during lifting.
  • Overhead Limit Switch: A safety feature that stops the lift if the vehicle approaches the overhead beam, preventing damage.
  • Lock Release System: Mechanical lock release cables allow for disengagement of safety locks from either side.
  • Quick Cycle (QC) Option: Available for faster lifting times (24 seconds approximate) compared to the standard model (38 seconds approximate).

Maintenance Features:

  • Routine Inspection: The manual emphasizes the importance of proper maintenance and inspection for safe operation. A routine maintenance program should be tailored to the installation, with daily, weekly, and monthly checks.
  • Hydraulic System Checks: Regularly check fluid levels, inspect for leaks, and bleed air from cylinders as needed to ensure smooth operation and prevent chattering. Use 10wt anti-foam, anti-rust hydraulic/biodegradable oil or Dexron III ATF; do not use oils with detergents.
  • Lubrication:
    • Grease arm pins and carriage arm pin holes during installation and monthly.
    • Apply anti-seize to retaining rings and foot pad screw threads.
    • Lubricate carriage slide tracks with heavy viscous grease (all four corners of both columns) monthly.
  • Cable System Checks:
    • Inspect synchronizer cables and sheaves weekly for wear and adjust tension as necessary to ensure carriages sit firmly on locks.
    • Check lock release cable adjustment to ensure locks disengage and engage fully.
  • Structural Integrity:
    • Visually inspect the concrete floor for cracks or spalls within 12" of the base plate monthly.
    • Torque concrete anchor bolts to 80 ft-lbs monthly.
  • Safety Decals and Labels: Regularly verify that all safety decals are correctly installed, visible, and understood by operators. Replace worn, faded, or damaged decals promptly.
  • Overhead Shutoff Switch: Monthly check to ensure the switch stops the power unit motor when the bar is raised.
  • Parts Breakdown: Comprehensive parts breakdown diagrams (Column & Overhead, Lock, Hydraulics, Synchronizer, Electrical, Carriage & 3-Stage Arm Pack, 3-Stage Front + 2-Stage Rear Arm Pack) are provided with corresponding part numbers and descriptions to facilitate ordering and replacement of worn or damaged components. Only Challenger Lifts Inc. approved parts should be used.
  • Qualified Personnel: Maintenance and service should only be performed by qualified personnel following lockout/tagout instructions.
