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 lifts are compatible with the 2PHDGUPGRADE?
The 2PHDGUPGRADE is designed specifically for the Challenger CL10AV3 (10,000 lb Versymmetric 2-post) and the CL12A (12,000 lb heavy-duty adjustable 2-post). Confirm your exact lift model and arm configuration before ordering, as other Challenger 2-post models like the SA10, VLE10, or CL16 are not covered by this part number.
What's included in the upgrade kit?
The 2PHDGUPGRADE is a complete arm replacement set that includes both front and rear swing arms with hot-dip galvanized finish. Call us at (855) 498-2147 to confirm the full contents and any included hardware before ordering.
What makes hot-dip galvanizing better than powder coat for lift arms?
Powder coat sits on the surface of the steel. When it gets scratched or chipped, bare metal is exposed and corrosion starts. Hot-dip galvanizing bonds zinc metallurgically into the base steel, creating a coating that continues to provide sacrificial corrosion protection even where the surface is damaged. For lift arms that take daily abuse from tools, wheels, and chemical exposure, the galvanized finish significantly outlasts powder coat.
Can I retrofit the galvanized arms onto an existing CL10AV3 or CL12A?
Yes. The 2PHDGUPGRADE functions as both a factory upgrade option for new lift orders and an OEM replacement for existing CL10AV3 and CL12A lifts. The galvanized arms maintain the original lift performance, geometry, and rated capacity. They're a direct swap for the standard arms.
Will the galvanized arms change my lift's rated capacity?
No. The 2PHDGUPGRADE maintains the original rated capacity of your lift. The CL10AV3 stays at 10,000 lb and the CL12A stays at 12,000 lb. The galvanized coating changes the arm's corrosion resistance, not its structural capacity or geometry.
Do I need symmetric or asymmetric arms?
The CL10AV3 uses Versymmetric arms (capable of both symmetric and asymmetric lifting), while the CL12A uses symmetric 3-stage front and 3-stage rear arms. Confirm your lift model and arm configuration with us before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Is this upgrade worth it if my shop isn't in a coastal area?
Corrosion doesn't require salt air. Road salt in northern climates, chemical overspray, brake fluid contact, coolant drips, and even high humidity all degrade standard powder-coated arms over time. If your shop sees heavy daily use or processes vehicles that carry corrosive residue, the galvanized upgrade extends arm life and reduces long-term maintenance regardless of geography.
Is the 2PHDGUPGRADE covered under Challenger's warranty?
Yes. Challenger Lifts provides a limited warranty to the original purchaser covering repair or replacement of defective parts. The arms must be installed and maintained according to Challenger's specifications. Coverage is not transferable. Warranty registration may be required after purchase.
