Challenger CLHMSC-440 Shop Crane — 4,400 Lb Capacity

Maximum Lifting Power

The Challenger CLHMSC-440 is the heavy-hitter in the Challenger shop crane lineup — a 4,400 lb crane built for the biggest engine pulls, industrial equipment, and heavy component work. With a maximum hook height of 119 inches retracted and 130 inches extended, the CLHMSC-440 delivers the vertical reach for tall equipment, cab-over engines, and elevated work platforms. Available in two pump configurations — manual hydraulic or air-over-hydraulic — so you can match the crane to your shop setup and workflow.

Choose Your Pump Type

The standard manual hydraulic configuration provides smooth, controlled lifting without requiring compressed air — position anywhere in the shop and start lifting. The air-over-hydraulic configuration (-H model) connects to your shop's compressed air supply and powers through full-capacity lifts with a lever, eliminating manual pumping for faster cycle times and reduced operator fatigue during back-to-back heavy pulls.

Three Boom Positions — Reach vs. Capacity

The adjustable boom lets you trade reach for capacity based on the job. Retracted position delivers the full 4,400 lb rating for heavy diesel blocks and industrial motors. Center position provides 3,800 lbs with moderate reach for most engine pulls. Extended position stretches to 3,300 lbs for lighter components or when you need maximum reach. Combined with three leg width settings — 22 inches, 36 inches, and 50 inches — the CLHMSC-440 handles everything from compact cars to heavy trucks and industrial equipment.

Heavy-Gauge Steel Construction

At 640 lbs, the CLHMSC-440 is built from thick steel that stays planted during the heaviest lifts. Six-inch polyurethane wheels roll smoothly across shop floors for easy repositioning, and the 82-inch overall length provides a stable lifting platform. When the job is done, the folding legs collapse for compact storage against the shop wall.
