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 air pressure does the CLHMHTJ-1200 require?
The jack requires shop air in the 90-160 PSI range (6.2-11 BAR). That's well within what most commercial shop compressors deliver. If your supply pressure falls below 90 PSI, you won't get full first-stage lift travel. Make sure your lines and regulators are set before the first use.
What is the maximum lift height, and will it work under vehicles on a lift?
The CLHMHTJ-1200 reaches 72" (182.88 cm) at full extension and starts at a minimum of 34-1/2" (87.63 cm). That starting height is specifically useful when the vehicle is already raised on a two-post or four-post lift, giving you a practical working range for transmission removal without crouching at floor level.
How does the two-stage air/hydraulic design work?
The first stage is fully air-operated - connect your shop air and the jack rises quickly without manual pumping. Once you're near working height, the second stage switches to hydraulic power, giving you slower, more precise control for final positioning under the bellhousing. You get speed where it doesn't matter and precision where it does.
Does the head plate tilt, and how much?
Yes. The head plate tilts 40° forward, 20° rear, and 10° side. That range lets you match the transmission angle to the vehicle's mating surface during reinstallation, which is where a lot of time gets lost if your jack can't flex. Adjustments are made via the acme threaded screws on the four quick-ratcheting brackets.
What adapters are included and what transmissions do they fit?
The jack includes Gray Manufacturing crafted transmission jack adapters designed for multiple transmission types. Gray Manufacturing is a well-known name in professional-grade adapter tooling. For a confirmed list of specific transmission fitments, call us at 800-736-6265 and we'll walk through compatibility with your vehicle lineup.
Is this jack made in the USA?
Yes. The Challenger CLHMHTJ-1200 is made in the U.S.A. and was rated No. 1 by professional R&D technicians. Challenger Lifts manufactures out of the United States, and that domestic production standard is reflected in the build quality of the acme threaded screws, casters, and head plate components.
What does shipping look like, and is there a freight charge?
Shipping is free to the lower 48 states. The jack ships at 125 lbs., so it moves via freight carrier. If you need a specific delivery window, liftgate service, or residential delivery, contact us at 800-736-6265 before placing your order so we can confirm the details and any applicable accessorial charges upfront.
What does the warranty cover and for how long?
The CLHMHTJ-1200 is covered under Challenger Lifts' limited warranty: 1 year on labor, 1 year on functional parts, and 1 year on structural parts for the original purchaser. The warranty requires proper installation and use per Challenger's specifications. Accessories and replacement parts are covered for 90 days. Warranty registration may be required after purchase - refer to the documentation included with the unit.
