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

Which Challenger two-post lifts are compatible with the 12240 footpad? ▾
The Challenger 12240 is a genuine Challenger Lifts footpad accessory for their two-post lift line. Challenger offers multiple two-post models across 9,000 lb, 10,000 lb, 12,000 lb, 16,000 lb, and 20,000 lb capacities. Call us at 800-736-6265 to confirm compatibility with your specific lift model and arm configuration before ordering.
What does "U-shaped cradle" mean in a footpad? ▾
A U-shaped cradle footpad has a channel profile that wraps around the vehicle's frame rail or pinch weld instead of just pressing flat against it. This cradle design captures the lifting surface on three sides, providing a more secure and centered contact point compared to standard flat rubber pads. The 12240 is rated at 4,500 lb per pair.
How many footpads come in this order? ▾
The Challenger 12240 is sold as a pair, meaning you receive 2 U-shaped cradle footpads per order. A standard two-post lift has four arm-mounted lift points, so you would need two pairs (two separate orders) to equip all four positions with cradle pads.
Can I use the 12240 cradle pads on every vehicle? ▾
Cradle-style pads are best suited for frame-rail vehicles, narrow pinch welds, and applications where a standard flat pad doesn't provide enough grip or centering. For typical unibody lift points with wide, accessible pinch welds, Challenger's standard telescoping footpads may be sufficient. The 12240 is an application-specific tool, not a universal replacement.
What's the difference between these and the Challenger cab-off footpad kit (B2290)? ▾
The B2290 cab-off footpad kit is sold as a set of 4 and is specifically designed for lifting truck cabs off frames, featuring U-channel pads that cradle pinch welds during cab separation. The 12240 is sold as a pair with a 4,500 lb capacity and serves as a general-purpose U-shaped cradle pad for frame-rail and pinch-weld engagement during standard two-post lifting.
Do I need to modify my lift arms to use these pads? ▾
Challenger footpads are designed with a drop-in or screw-in interface that works with your existing lift arm setup. No arm modification should be required. Confirm the specific mounting style of the 12240 matches your lift's arm pockets by calling us before ordering.
Are these genuine Challenger parts? ▾
Yes. The 12240 is a genuine Challenger Lifts part, not an aftermarket replacement. Using OEM footpads ensures proper fit, rated capacity, and compatibility with your Challenger two-post lift. Aftermarket pads may not match Challenger's mounting dimensions or material specifications.
How does the 12240 ship? ▾
Footpads are a smaller accessory item and typically ship via standard parcel or ground freight depending on your order. Contact us to confirm shipping method, estimated transit time, and whether your order qualifies for any shipping promotions.
