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 lift models is the HDGUPGRADE compatible with?
The HDGUPGRADE hot dipped galvanized runway upgrade is designed specifically for the AR4115 Series four-post alignment lift from Challenger Lifts. It is not listed as compatible with other Challenger four-post series such as the 4P14, 4018, or 4030. If you're running a different model, call us at 800-736-6265 before ordering so we can confirm whether a compatible galvanized option exists for your lift.
What exactly is hot dipped galvanization and how is it different from painted or powder-coated steel?
Hot dipped galvanization submerges steel in a bath of molten zinc. The zinc reacts with the iron in the steel to form a series of zinc-iron alloy layers, topped by a layer of pure zinc. This bond is metallurgical, meaning the protection is fused into the steel itself rather than sitting on top of it as a separate coating. Paint and powder coat sit on the surface and can chip, scratch, or delaminate over time, especially under repeated mechanical contact and chemical exposure. The zinc-iron alloy bond resists corrosion even if the outer surface is abraded, because the layers beneath continue to provide protection.
Is this upgrade worth it if my shop is indoors and relatively dry?
For a fully climate-controlled indoor shop with low humidity and minimal chemical exposure, standard AR4115 Series runways perform well under normal conditions. The galvanized upgrade delivers its clearest value when your environment involves moisture, vehicles that arrive salt-covered, temperature swings that cause condensation on metal surfaces, or exposure to cleaning chemicals and fluids that accelerate corrosion. If you're unsure whether your shop warrants the upgrade, call us at 800-736-6265 and we'll help you assess your situation.
Does installing the galvanized runway upgrade affect the AR4115 Series warranty?
No, the HDGUPGRADE is a Challenger Lifts-approved upgrade for the AR4115 Series, so installing it does not void your warranty. The 4115 Series carries a 5-year structural parts warranty, and runways fall under structural coverage. What does void the warranty is using unapproved aftermarket parts or accessories, or having repairs performed by anyone other than a Challenger-authorized service representative. Warranty registration is required after purchase, so refer to your included documentation for details on completing it.
What's the practical difference between galvanized and standard runways in daily shop use?
Day to day, the structural function is identical. The difference shows up over months and years. Standard steel runways in a harsh environment will begin showing surface rust, pitting, and eventual structural degradation as corrosion works into the metal. Galvanized runways resist that process because the zinc-iron alloy layer sacrificially protects the underlying steel - zinc corrodes before iron does, which is the core mechanism behind galvanization. In a shop with regular salt and moisture exposure, galvanized runways will maintain their surface integrity significantly longer than standard runways under the same conditions.
Does this ship free and how are freight deliveries handled?
Yes, free shipping applies to all orders within the contiguous 48 states. Delivery timing depends on freight scheduling and your location - our team coordinates the shipment and can give you a more specific window after your order is placed. If you need a scheduled delivery appointment, liftgate service, or residential delivery, contact us at 800-736-6265 before ordering so we can set that up correctly and confirm any accessorial charges that may apply.
Does the galvanized upgrade require any special installation steps?
Challenger Lifts requires that all installation, use, and maintenance follow their published specifications for the warranty to remain valid. If you're retrofitting galvanized runways onto an existing AR4115 Series lift, follow the installation instructions included with the product. Repairs and modifications made by anyone other than a Challenger-authorized service representative can affect warranty coverage, so confirm your installation approach before proceeding. For guidance, call us at 800-736-6265.
Can this be ordered with a new AR4115 lift purchase or only as a retrofit?
The HDGUPGRADE is available whether you're outfitting a new AR4115 Series lift or upgrading an existing one. If you're configuring a new four-post alignment lift purchase and want galvanized runways from the start, call us at 800-736-6265 and we'll make sure the order is set up correctly so everything ships together without a separate freight coordination headache.
