The Verdict:
The Challenger VLE10 is the value entry into Challenger’s commercial-grade two-post range — an ALI lift with Versymmetric® arms (3-stage front, 2-stage rear) that work in both symmetric and asymmetric positions from a single bay. Rated 10,000 lb, it rises 74.75 inches on a 208–230V single-phase motor and stands 143.9 inches overall (an extended-height option reaches 167.9″). For adjustable-width columns and Challenger’s directSPOT arms, step up to the CL10AV3.
