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 44040? ▾
The Challenger 44040 has a maximum lifting capacity of 40,000 lb (20 tons). This capacity is suitable for medium-duty trucks, delivery vans, municipal fleet vehicles, box trucks, and commercial equipment within this weight range. The lift is ALI/ETL certified, meaning it has been independently tested and verified to meet ANSI/ALI ALCTV safety standards.
What is the maximum wheelbase the 44040 can accommodate? ▾
The 44040 is the standard-length model in the 40,000 lb series, accommodating vehicles with wheelbases up to 310 inches. The distance between columns is 290 inches with 25-foot runways. For longer vehicles, consider the 44040E (370-inch wheelbase, 41-foot length) or 44040X (430-inch wheelbase, 46-foot length).
What size bay do I need for the Challenger 44040? ▾
The 44040 requires a minimum bay area of 26'-1" x 42'-4". You also need a minimum ceiling height of 16 feet, though higher ceilings may be required depending on the height of vehicles you service. Allow additional space around the lift for technician movement and equipment access.
What are the electrical requirements? ▾
The 44040 requires 230-460V three-phase electrical service for the 10 HP motor. At 230V, the lift draws 28 amps; at 460V, it draws 14 amps. A compressed air supply is also required for the pneumatic locking system. A licensed electrician must install and verify the electrical supply according to local codes and manufacturer specifications.
What concrete specifications are required? ▾
The lift requires a minimum 5-inch thick reinforced concrete slab with 3,000 PSI minimum compressive strength and steel rebar reinforcement. Anchoring uses 3/4-10UNC x 7-inch wedge anchors, installed at least 5 inches from slab edges or seams. The maximum floor variation between any two posts is 2 inches.
What does the Challenger warranty cover? ▾
Challenger provides a 5-year warranty on structural parts (columns, runways, ramps, cross beams, carriages), 1-year warranty on functional parts (power unit, cylinders, chains, hoses, fittings, valves, controls), and 1-year labor coverage. The warranty is valid for the original purchaser when the lift is properly installed, used, and maintained according to Challenger specifications. Product must be registered with Challenger Lifts.
What is included with the lift? ▾
The 44040 ships complete with all four leg assemblies, cross rails, 25-foot tracks with integrated jack rails, ramps, track stops, control console, 10 HP power unit with 20-gallon reservoir, velocity fuse safety system, dual pressure gauges, air control system, hose protectors, all hardware, anchor bolts, and installation manual. You will need to supply 21 gallons of AW-32 hydraulic oil and pneumatic hose for the air supply connection.
How is the lift shipped and delivered? ▾
The 44040 ships via freight to commercial addresses in the 48 contiguous states with free shipping included. A forklift is required for unloading as this is a heavy-duty commercial lift shipped on multiple pallets. Standard delivery is curbside. Inspect all packages before signing the bill of lading and note any visible damage on the delivery receipt.
What is the difference between the 44040, 44040E, and 44040X? ▾
All three models share the same 40,000 lb capacity, platform dimensions, and 10 HP power unit. The difference is runway length: the 44040 has 25-foot runways (310-inch max wheelbase, 36-foot overall length), the 44040E has 30-foot runways (370-inch max wheelbase, 41-foot overall length), and the 44040X has 35-foot extra-long runways (430-inch max wheelbase, 46-foot overall length). Choose based on the longest vehicles you need to service.
How does the 44040 compare to the 44050 and 44060? ▾
The 44040 (40,000 lb), 44050 (50,000 lb), and 44060 (60,000 lb) are built on the same physical platform with identical dimensions, rise height, and runway options. The primary difference is rated lifting capacity. The 44040 uses a 10 HP power unit while the 44050 and 44060 use a 15 HP unit. All models are available in standard, extended, and extra-extended runway lengths.
What optional accessories are available? ▾
Optional accessories include the SAJ25 rolling jack (15,000 lb capacity), SAJ35 rolling jack (35,000 lb capacity), 44RK40 ramp kit for drive-through operation, 44AK40 internal air line kit for dual rolling jack operation, 10267 oil drain pan kit, and 10310 air and electric workstation. The built-in accessory rail system accepts rolling jacks and sliding oil drain pans without modification.
How does the variable synchro-power system work? ▾
The dual hydraulic cylinder system allows independent control of front and rear lifting force through lever controls on the independent control console. This compensates for vehicles with uneven weight distribution, such as dump trucks with loaded beds or utility trucks with rear-mounted equipment. Dual pressure gauges provide real-time monitoring of front and rear hydraulic pressure during lifting operations.
What maintenance is required? ▾
Regular maintenance includes checking hydraulic fluid level and condition, inspecting chains and chain anchors for proper tension, verifying air lock engagement, lubricating pivot points and rollers, and inspecting the overall structural condition of runways, ramps, and columns. Check and tighten anchor bolts periodically. Use AW-32 hydraulic oil and keep the reservoir full. Refer to the installation and operation manual for the complete maintenance schedule and intervals.
What safety features does the 44040 include? ▾
The 44040 includes multiple redundant safety systems: velocity fused hydraulic protection that automatically stops descent if oil flow exceeds safe parameters, 10-level twin ladder locks on all columns, single-point air-actuated lock release, and dual pressure gauges for monitoring lift balance. The chain-drive system with sealed roller bearings provides reliable operation without cable stretch concerns. The lift is ALI/ETL certified to ANSI/ALI ALCTV safety standards.
How long does it take to raise the lift to full height? ▾
The 44040 reaches full rise height of 73 inches in approximately 75 seconds. The 10 HP three-phase motor provides consistent, reliable lifting speed even under maximum 40,000 lb load.
Can the 44040 be installed outdoors? ▾
No. The 44040 is rated for indoor use only. It must be installed in an enclosed facility with a minimum ceiling height of 16 feet. The installation site must have adequate three-phase electrical service and compressed air supply for the pneumatic lock system.
Can I install this lift myself? ▾
While the manual provides complete installation instructions, professional installation is strongly recommended due to the size and complexity of this heavy-duty commercial lift. Installation requires specialized tools including a concrete rotary hammer drill, forklift, proper rigging equipment, and electrical work by a licensed electrician. Improper installation may void warranty coverage and create safety hazards.

Could not ask for more from a two-post lift at this price. The 11,000 lb rating gives plenty of headroom for trucks and SUVs. Install was a weekend job and it has run trouble-free since.

This mid-rise scissor lift is perfect for our space. The frame is heavy and stable with no wobble at full lift. Ideal for a one-bay shop that needs flexibility.

The KT-T830 makes low-profile tires effortless. It handles large-diameter wheels that our old machine could not. Money well spent for a busy bay.

Outstanding tire changer, especially with the assist arm. The turntable clamps low-profile alloys without scuffing. The bead breaker blade has serious power for stubborn beads. Build quality feels heavy-duty throughout.

This combo set up our whole tire bay in one purchase. The changer's jaws and the balancer's cone set both feel well made. Footprint of both machines fits a single bay comfortably. Both arrived well packed and went together without drama.

Drive-on, lift, done. Exactly what we needed. The 11,000 lb capacity handles everything from sedans to our 3/4-ton truck with margin to spare. It doubles as storage parking, which freed up a whole bay. Assembly took an afternoon with two people and went smoothly.

Hands down one of the better purchases we have made for the bay. The four-jaw turntable centers wheels quickly and clamps securely. The carburized steel jaws hold the rim firmly without marring the finish. After hundreds of tires the only upkeep has been routine lubrication.

Love how portable yet sturdy this lift is. The frame is heavy and stable with no wobble at full lift. Feels much sturdier than its weight class suggests.

Could not ask for more from a two-post lift at this price. Padded arm rests protect rockers and the telescoping arms reach awkward pickup points. A year in and it raises every vehicle dead level with no drift.

This machine handles run-flats like nothing. The press arm holds the bead down so mounting goes quickly. The mount head leaves a clean rim every time. Cut our tire service time noticeably once the crew learned it.
