The automotive repair market is evolving rapidly. With the rise of electric vehicles (EVs), larger trucks, and increasingly complex platforms, shops face growing pressure to adapt. Forward-thinking service centers are responding by investing in equipment that meets today’s needs while scaling for tomorrow’s demands. Central to this strategy is lift versatility—and the CL10AV3 Series from Challenger Lifts delivers. When paired with proper technician training, this lift becomes a flexible, shop-wide solution.
The Role of Training in Multi-Vehicle Lift Performance
Technician training is essential for safe, efficient lift operation across diverse vehicle types. From correctly spotting lift points to adjusting arms and pads, understanding the lift’s key features is critical. Improper setup can lead to lost time, safety hazards, or vehicle damage. Well-trained technicians operate with greater confidence, helping maintain workflow efficiency and protecting both vehicles and equipment.
Spotlight on the CL10AV3 Series – Engineered for Flexibility
The CL10AV3 is engineered with features that accommodate a broad range of vehicles. Its Versymmetric® arms combine the benefits of symmetric and asymmetric lifting, making it easy to safely service everything from sedans to light trucks. directSPOT™ technology streamlines first-try spotting by eliminating the need to reposition vehicles just to swing arms into place.
A major enhancement to the CL10AV3 is its new Adjustable Width Feature—demonstrating our commitment to flexible, forward-thinking solutions for today’s service bays. With proper training on arm configurations, screw pad adjustments, and spotting guides, technicians can confidently service nearly any vehicle that enters the shop.
Configurable to Match the Bay – Adjustable Height and Width
The CL10AV3 can be tailored to fit a shop’s layout and the vehicles it services. Three width settings support flexible bay design:
- Narrow – Ideal for tight spaces or express pad setups
- Universal – Accommodates cars, SUVs, light trucks, and most EVs
- Wide – Designed for luxury models, EVs, and vehicles with the widest pick-up points
Column height options are also available to suit varying ceiling clearances. To better serve our customers’ diverse lifting needs and the growing demand for EV service, we’ve upgraded our CL10V3. This new adjustable design ensures our entire CL Series can accommodate a wider range of vehicles, giving technicians more room to work efficiently. Training during installation ensures technicians understand these configurations from the start—maximizing safety and productivity.
Versatility in Action – From Express Bays to EVs
The CL10AV3 is designed for versatility, and training enables shops to fully leverage its capabilities. From quick express pad setups to Quick Cycle™ lifts that rise in 27 seconds and lower in 17, technicians can move through their day with speed and precision. When they understand how to use lift accessories and align spotting strategies with each vehicle, throughput increases and errors decrease.
Build Capability Through CL10AV3-Specific Training
Training unlocks the full potential of the CL10AV3. With the right knowledge, your team can turn this adaptable lift into a revenue-generating asset—ready to handle whatever vehicle rolls into the bay.
