Porsche Cars North America is pleased to announce its recommendation of the Challenger 2 vehicle lift for use by all dealers in their service departments. A joint development program has resulted in a lift that provides maximum protection of the vehicle during lifting operations as well as compatibility with the vehicle lift points.
The VBM lift is an above ground lift that can be installed in the most convenient position with 8 floor anchors. This anchoring system also means the lift can be easily moved during shop remodeling or expansion. Because of its "clear floor" design there are no floor obstructions between the vertical columns, thus allowing maximum accessibility to all underbody areas.
The offset arms swing forward from the rear, eliminating positioning problems on short wheelbase vehicles such as the 911. Additionally, this same offset arm design allows for the vehicle to be positioned rearward enough to allow both doors to be opened to their mechanical stops without the doors contacting the vertical lift columns. Normal access to the interior of the vehicle is allowed without accidental damage to the outer door skin. Additionally, the arms lengths have been specifically tailored for Porsche vehicles to provide sufficient adjustment to reach the body lift points.
Waffle pattern rubber foot pads prevent damage to under vehicle corrosion protective coating and provide a safe non-slip contact surface with the vehicle lift points. The foot pads can be screwed up or down to provide the correct vertical distance between contact with the vehicle lift points and the offset arms necessary to clear side skirts such as those used on the 944 Turbo.
Attached for your review is a brochure describing all the features of the Challenger 2. Orders should be placed directly with the manufacturer.
