The transit-fleet workhorse
Three models — standard, extended, and alignment — cover shuttles, work trucks, and medium-sized transit vehicles on one platform.
Adjustable runways
Runway spacing adjusts from 36" to 54" to match the tread widths of a variety of medium-sized transit vehicles. (Rolling-jack use requires fixed runways at 33⅞" – 41⅞" spacing.)
Built-in runway rail system
An integrated rail system lets you add convenience options like rolling jacks and oil drain pans (sold separately) — the lift grows with your shop.
Easy on, easy off
Diamond-plate approach ramps with heavy-duty steel roller wheels give positive traction and easy positioning, and the alignment model's single-point air-actuated release drops all column locks simultaneously.
The data plate
The numbers that matter — straight from Challenger's spec sheet.
Specifications per Challenger Lifts across the 44018 / 44018E / 44018AR. Tell us your longest vehicle and whether you align — we'll spec the right model.
Will it fit your shop?
Three measurements decide it. Grab a tape measure — or send us these numbers and we'll confirm before you order.
The standard 44018; the extended 44018E runs 292" and the alignment 44018AR 311½" — nearly 26 feet, so plan the bay depth first.
Standard and extended models; the alignment model is 141½". Plan roughly a 13-foot bay for working room.
About 8½ feet of structure — the vehicle rides on top at up to an 83⅜" rise, so factor your tallest transit vehicle into ceiling planning.
