Warranty

Warranty
Warranty basics
Challenger Lifts, Inc. (CLI) warrants its lifts to the original owner only; the coverage is not transferable. CLI will, at its discretion, repair or replace any part that is found on inspection to be defective during the applicable warranty period. Coverage applies only when the lift is installed, operated, and maintained in line with CLI's installation, operation, and maintenance instructions. Using unapproved parts or accessories voids the warranty, as does any repair attempted by someone who is not a CLI authorized service representative. Normal maintenance, adjustments, wear and tear, and damage from improper handling, abuse, misuse, or negligence are not covered. The warranty is valid only if the lift is registered with Challenger Lifts; registration must be completed online (challengerlifts.com/register-your-lift), otherwise the warranty period begins from the invoice date of purchase.
Warranty length
5 years on structural parts, 2 years on functional parts, and 1 year on labor. Structural parts include the carriage, columns, column extensions, overhead beams, arms, cross beams, runways, wheel stops, ramps, bolsters, sync rails, and plungers. Functional parts include power units, cylinders, sheaves, sheave pins, hoses, hydraulic and pneumatic fittings, cables, adapters, latches, valves, and controls.
Remedies and costs
Repair or replacement of defective parts is the exclusive remedy under this warranty. For the covered period, CLI also pays reasonable transportation and/or labor costs to replace those parts. This warranty is exclusive and replaces all other warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, which is expressly excluded. No employee, agent, dealer, or other party may extend warranties on CLI's behalf. CLI is not liable for special, consequential, or incidental damages arising from any breach or delay in performance of the warranty. The warranty is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Jefferson County, Kentucky.

FAQs

What is the maximum lifting capacity of the Challenger 4018XFX? ▾
The Challenger 4018XFX has a maximum lifting capacity of 18,000 lb (8,165 kg). This capacity is suitable for larger passenger vehicles, full-size SUVs, light trucks, and commercial fleet vehicles. The ALI-certified design validates that the lift meets recognized safety and performance standards at its rated capacity.
What is the maximum wheelbase this lift can accommodate? ▾
The 4018XFX accommodates wheelbases up to 220" (5,588 mm), making it suitable for extended cab pickups, full-size SUVs, cargo vans, and other long-wheelbase vehicles commonly found in fleet and commercial service applications.
What electrical power does this lift require? ▾
The lift requires 208-230V single-phase electrical service with a 20A circuit. A licensed electrician should install and verify the electrical supply meets manufacturer specifications before the lift is placed into service.
What is the difference between the 4018XFX and the 4018XFX-PKG? ▾
The base 4018XFX includes the four-post lift, anchor bolts, mounting hardware, and installation manual. The 4018XFX-PKG adds two RJ9S rolling jacks (9,000 lb capacity each), an airline kit, two stainless steel turn plates, fold-down wheel stops, and an integrated work step for a complete wheel-free service solution at a bundled price.
How long does it take for the lift to raise and lower? ▾
The lift completes a full rise and lower cycle in 70 seconds. The 72" rise height provides adequate working clearance for most undercar service procedures while maintaining efficient bay throughput in professional service environments.
What does the single-point mechanical lock release do? ▾
The single-point mechanical lock release disengages all column locks simultaneously from a single control point, simplifying lift operation and enhancing safety. This mechanism secures the lift at any height position during service, preventing unintended lowering while technicians work beneath the vehicle.
Is professional installation required? ▾
While professional installation is strongly recommended, it is not strictly required. However, proper installation by qualified technicians ensures safety compliance, optimal performance, and full warranty coverage. The lift must be anchored to a minimum 4" thick reinforced concrete floor with 3,000 PSI compressive strength.
How is the lift shipped and what do I need to unload it? ▾
The lift ships via freight carrier to commercial addresses in the 48 contiguous US states with free shipping. A forklift or loading dock is required for unloading as the lift ships on heavy pallets. Curbside delivery is standard. Inspect all packages before signing the bill of lading and note any damage.
Can I add rolling jacks and accessories later? ▾
Yes, Challenger rolling jacks, airline kits, stainless steel turn plates, wheel stops, work steps, and other accessories can be purchased separately and added to the 4018XFX at any time. The lift features a built-in runway rail system designed to accommodate optional accessories for expanded service capability.
What ceiling height is required for installation? ▾
The lift has an overall height of 98.625" at rest. You must also account for the 72" rise height plus the height of the tallest vehicle you plan to service. Calculate total required ceiling clearance by adding lift height at full rise plus maximum vehicle height plus a safety margin of at least 6".
Is this lift ALI certified? ▾
Yes, the Challenger 4018XFX carries ALI (Automotive Lift Institute) certification, validating that the lift meets recognized automotive lift safety and performance standards. This third-party certification provides documented compliance appropriate for professional service facilities and insurance requirements.
