The Challenger 16116 replacement hardware is the direct replacement for the Challenger lift it came off of. Cross-referenced as ALS-7233-11, it is the genuine Challenger part — same part number, same fit, and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the Challenger replacement hardware from us gets you the OEM piece that matches the lift, not an aftermarket knock-off that is close but not the same.

Specifications

• Part number: ALS-7233-11
• Brand: Challenger
• Type: Genuine OEM replacement hardware

When a lift gets its annual inspection, the hardware is where a trained eye lingers. Inspectors look for exactly the things this bucket of parts is bought to fix: pins with visible slop, sheaves wobbling on worn bushings, copper-colored bushing material creeping out the side of a sheave, lock springs too tired to snap a pawl home, and chains with tight links or visible stretch. Every one of those is a write-up, and every write-up is a bay out of service until the fix is documented. The economics are lopsided: the hardware costs little, the failed inspection costs the downtime, and the difference between the two outcomes is usually a walk-around you can do yourself in ten minutes.

Confirm this is the right part before you order

Lift manufacturers revise parts mid-production without changing the model name, so the same lift bought two years apart can take two different revisions of the same component. Before you order, find the model plate on the lift — on most 2-post lifts it rides on one of the columns at eye level, on 4-post lifts it is usually on a column or the power-unit side runway — and note the full model number and serial. The serial dates the lift to a production run, and that is what decides which revision fits.

If the plate is painted over or missing, take a photo of the part you are replacing next to a tape measure and send it to us. Between the dimensions, the mounting pattern, and what lift it came off of, we can almost always identify the exact part before you spend money on the wrong one.

Do the inspector’s hardware pass: grab each sheave and try to wobble it by hand with the load off — real wobble is a worn pin or bushing. Look for bushing material showing at the sides of sheaves. Cycle the locks and watch that every pawl snaps back smartly; a lazy pawl is a spring. Look for bright rub marks and metal dust anywhere parts move against each other.

A lock pawl with a weak or broken return spring can fail to engage while looking perfectly normal from the floor. Anything in the lock train — springs, pins, pawls — gets replaced on condition, immediately, not monitored. The locks are the part of the lift that catches everything else.
