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 lifting capacity of the Challenger 44018E? ▾
The Challenger 44018E has an 18,000 lb lifting capacity, making it suitable for medium-duty commercial vehicles, transit vans, cargo vehicles, and fleet trucks. The capacity is evenly distributed across all four columns for stable, safe lifting.
What is the maximum wheelbase the 44018E can accommodate? ▾
The 44018E accommodates vehicles with wheelbases up to 230". This extended wheelbase capacity is designed specifically for medium-sized transit vehicles, cargo vans, and commercial fleet vehicles that exceed standard passenger car dimensions.
What are the electrical requirements for the 44018E? ▾
The 44018E requires 208-230V single-phase power with a 30-amp dedicated circuit. A three-phase electrical option is available and must be specified at the time of order. A licensed electrician should verify your facility meets these requirements before installation.
What is the difference between the 44018 and 44018E? ▾
The 44018E is the extended-length version of the standard 44018. The key differences are: maximum wheelbase (230" vs 194"), overall length (292" vs 259"), and distance between columns (240" vs 204"). Both models share the same 18,000 lb capacity, 78.75" rise height, and features. Choose the 44018E for longer transit vehicles and cargo vans.
What concrete requirements are needed for installation? ▾
The 44018E requires a minimum 4" thick reinforced concrete floor with 3,000 PSI compressive strength. The concrete must be fully cured (typically 28 days for new pours) and free of cracks, voids, or expansion joints in the anchor locations. Consult the installation manual for specific anchor bolt patterns.
What is included with the Challenger 44018E? ▾
The 44018E includes the complete 4-post lift assembly, diamond-plate runways with built-in rail system, approach ramps with steel roller wheels, 3HP hydraulic power unit, single-point air-actuated lock release system, hardware kit with anchor bolts, and installation manual. Rolling jacks, oil drain pans, turn plates, and electrical work are not included.
How is the Challenger 44018E shipped? ▾
The 44018E ships via freight truck to commercial addresses. Free freight shipping is included for the 48 contiguous United States. A forklift or loading dock is required for unloading. Liftgate service is available for an additional charge. Inspect all shipments for damage before signing the Bill of Lading.
What accessories are available for the 44018E? ▾
Available accessories include: RJ9S 9,000 lb air/hydraulic rolling jack for wheel-off service, 44RK18 pivoting ramp kit for drive-thru operation, 44AK18 internal air line kit for dual rolling jack operation, 10267 32-gallon rolling drain pan for fluid service, and turn plates (10500 powder-coated or 10500SS stainless steel) for alignment applications.
Can the 44018E be used for wheel alignment? ▾
The standard 44018E is designed for general service rather than alignment. For dedicated alignment applications, consider the 44018AR alignment rack model, which features turn plate cutouts, slip plates, built-in work steps, and 17 alignment height levels with 4-wheel alignment capability from 98" to 206" wheelbase.
What is the warranty on the Challenger 44018E? ▾
The 44018E includes Challenger's standard warranty: 5 years on structural parts (columns, runways, ramps), 1 year on functional parts (power unit, cylinders, cables, controls), and 1 year on labor. Warranty requires registration at challengerlifts.com within 30 days of installation and proper installation per manufacturer specifications.
How long does it take for the lift to reach full height? ▾
The 44018E rises from floor level to full 78.75" height in approximately 60 seconds. The 3HP hydraulic motor and heavy-duty cylinder provide consistent lifting speed regardless of vehicle weight up to the rated 18,000 lb capacity.
What maintenance is required for the 44018E? ▾
Regular maintenance includes visual inspection of cables, chains, and hydraulic hoses; lubrication of pivot points and moving components; checking hydraulic fluid levels; testing safety lock engagement; and verifying anchor bolt torque. Follow the maintenance schedule in the operation manual for specific intervals and procedures.
