Details & specifications
The Challenge 2840A is a combination paper jogger with a 28 by 40 inch table, the largest table in the Challenge combination jogger series (above the 2026A and 2436A). It vibrates a lift of stock into square edges before it goes to the guillotine cutter or a bindery step, which keeps cuts accurate and feeds clean. The large table suits shops running bigger sheets and heavier piles. The 2840A is made in the USA. Mid-State Litho is an authorized Challenge dealer and has sold and serviced cutting and bindery equipment from Grand Blanc, Michigan since 1984. We deliver the jogger, install it, train your operators, and back it with same-day and next-day service across Michigan and the Great Lakes. It ships by truck freight FOB with a lift gate.

How to choose a Challenge combination jogger
- Table size to your sheet. The series runs 2026A (20x26), 2436A (24x36), and 2840A (28x40, this machine). Match the table to your largest sheet and pile; the 2840A is the biggest.
- Where it sits in the line. A jogger squares stock before the guillotine and before bindery; size it to the cutter and the volume it feeds.
- Floor space vs capacity. The bigger table takes more bench/floor space. If your work is letter/tabloid, the smaller 2026A or 2436A cost less and fit tighter.
The 2436A (24x36 table) is the next size down in the same series and suits smaller sheets; this 2840A (28x40) is the largest. Compare the line on the Paper joggers and Challenge Machinery collections linked below.
