Challenger SRM10 — 10,000 lb ALI/ETL Certified Short-Rise Scissor Lift

The Challenger SRM10 is a 10,000 lb capacity short-rise scissor lift built for high-volume brake, tire, and undercar service. With a raised height of 22 inches and an ultra-low 4¼-inch lowered profile, the SRM10 makes wheel-off service fast and accessible — vehicles drive directly onto the platforms with no ramps or alignment needed. The dual hydraulic cylinders deliver smooth, even lifting across the full 10,000 lb capacity range, handling everything from compact sedans to full-size trucks and SUVs. ALI/ETL certified to ANSI/ALI ALCTV safety standards, the SRM10 is the go-to short-rise lift for professional service centers, tire shops, and fleet maintenance operations that need fast throughput without a full-rise lift.

Low-Profile Design, Maximum Accessibility

At just 4¼ inches lowered, the SRM10 sits nearly flush with the shop floor — low enough for virtually any production vehicle to drive over without assistance. The 50-inch platform length and 72-inch outside platform width provide a stable, generous contact area, while the 23-inch gap between platforms accommodates a wide range of wheelbases and track widths. Three mechanical locking bar positions at 13¾ inches, 18⅜ inches, and 21¼ inches give technicians height options for different service tasks, and the locking bar system engages automatically during the lift cycle. The included two-position adapter blocks with rubber pads (Part SR10-001) provide flexible lift point contact, and optional spotter block adapters (Part 63100) add 4⅛ inches of additional height when needed.

Three Configurations for Your Shop

The SRM10 series is available in three configurations. The standard SRM10 runs on 115V single-phase power — a standard 20-amp household circuit — making it one of the easiest high-capacity lifts to install in any shop. The SRM10-220 provides 220V single-phase operation for facilities with 220V infrastructure, though this model is not ALI/ETL certified. The SRM10-MPU features a movable power unit on 115V, allowing the hydraulic power source to be repositioned to accommodate different shop layouts and bay configurations. All three configurations share the same 10,000 lb capacity, 22-inch rise, and mechanical locking system.

Installation Requirements

The SRM10 requires a minimum 4-inch-thick reinforced concrete floor rated at 3,500 PSI or higher, cured at least 28 days, and free from cracks or seams within the anchor zone. The recommended bay size is 12 feet wide by 24 feet long, with a minimum width of 10 feet. Standard 115V installation requires a dedicated 20-amp double-pole breaker or time-delay fuse. The lift installs as a surface-mount unit with anchor bolts, and an optional flush-mount kit (Part SRM10-FMK-04) is available for shops that want the platforms level with the shop floor — note that flush-mount kits must be installed during concrete work, before the floor is poured. Indoor installation only.

Frequently Asked Questions

The SRM10 has a 10,000 lb capacity and can lift a wide range of vehicles including compact cars, sedans, full-size trucks, SUVs, crossovers, minivans, and light commercial vehicles. The 72-inch outside platform width and 23-inch gap between platforms accommodate most production vehicle track widths, while the two-position adapter blocks with rubber pads (Part SR10-001) provide flexible lift point contact for different underbody configurations.
The SRM10 has a lowered height of just 4¼ inches, sitting nearly flush with the shop floor. This ultra-low profile means virtually any production vehicle can drive directly onto the platforms without ramps, approach plates, or alignment equipment. The low-adapter position is 4¾ inches and the high-adapter position is 6¾ inches, depending on which adapter block orientation you use.
The SRM10 has three mechanical locking bar positions at 13¾ inches, 18⅜ inches, and 21¼ inches. The locking bar system engages automatically during the lift cycle, and the locking bar handle allows technicians to select the desired working height. No compressed air is required — the system is fully mechanical.
The standard SRM10 runs on 115V, 60Hz, single-phase power with a 1HP motor. It requires a dedicated 20-amp circuit with a double-pole breaker or time-delay fuse. This is standard household-level power available in virtually any commercial or residential building. The SRM10-220 variant uses 220V single-phase power for facilities that prefer or require 220V infrastructure. The SRM10-MPU also runs on 115V but features a movable power unit that can be repositioned within the shop.
The SRM10 requires a minimum 4-inch-thick reinforced concrete floor rated at 3,500 PSI or higher, fully cured for at least 28 days, and free from cracks or seams within the anchor zone. The floor must be level and free of significant surface defects at the installation location. If your existing floor does not meet these requirements, a dedicated concrete pad can be poured to specification before installation. Anchor bolts for ½-inch anchors require 30 ft-lbs of torque, and ¾-inch anchors require 80 ft-lbs.
Yes. Panther Lift provides professional lift installation services throughout the tri-state area and surrounding regions. Our installation team handles everything from concrete inspection and electrical prep to full lift assembly, hydraulic setup, and final safety testing. Contact us to schedule an installation or to get a quote for your location.
Daily maintenance includes inspecting spacer pads for wear or damage and checking the lock bar handle and release mechanism for proper operation. Weekly checks include inspecting all lift components for visible damage or wear. Monthly maintenance requires lubricating the lock bar pivot bolt and lock bar handle pivot points, lubricating hinge joints, and inspecting the concrete floor for cracks or spalling within 12 inches of the base plate. Semi-annually, check the hydraulic fluid level and top off with Dexron III automatic transmission fluid or 10-weight anti-foam, anti-rust hydraulic oil.
All three models share the same 10,000 lb capacity, 22-inch rise height, and mechanical locking system. The standard SRM10 runs on 115V single-phase power and is ALI/ETL certified. The SRM10-220 runs on 220V single-phase power for shops with 220V infrastructure — note that this model is not ALI/ETL certified. The SRM10-MPU runs on 115V with a movable power unit that can be repositioned in the shop, providing more flexibility in bay layout and power routing.
The standard SRM10 (115V) and SRM10-MPU are ALI/ETL certified — independently tested and validated to the ANSI/ALI ALCTV safety standard for automotive lifts. The SRM10-220 (220V model) is not ALI/ETL certified. ALI certification means the lift has been tested by an independent third-party lab and meets or exceeds the structural and performance requirements set by the Automotive Lift Institute.
Yes. An optional flush-mount kit (Part SRM10-FMK-04) is available that allows the SRM10 platforms to sit level with the shop floor for a seamless, low-profile installation. Important: the flush-mount kit must be installed during concrete work, before the floor is poured. It cannot be retrofitted to an existing floor. Contact Panther Lift for flush-mount installation details.
Challenger recommends a bay size of 12 feet wide by 24 feet long for the SRM10. The minimum bay width is 10 feet. The lift itself measures 85 inches wide (plus 2½ inches for the handle) by 92⅞ inches long, but the larger bay recommendation accounts for vehicle overhang, technician work space, and equipment clearance around the lift.
The SRM10 comes standard with four two-position adapter blocks with rubber pads (Part SR10-001), the electric/hydraulic power unit, all necessary anchor hardware, and a complete literature pack with installation and operation manual. Hydraulic fluid is not included and must be supplied at installation — the system uses Dexron III automatic transmission fluid or 10-weight anti-foam hydraulic oil. Optional accessories include spotter block auxiliary adapters (Part 63100), flush-mount kit (SRM10-FMK-04), and steel hose guard kit (Part 10354).
