The Challenger 08097 replacement hardware is the direct replacement for the Challenger lift it came off of. Cross-referenced as ALS-7233-59, 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-7233-59
• Brand: Challenger
• Type: Genuine OEM replacement hardware

Nobody budgets for a washer. That is exactly how a bay ends up dead for three days — the big components get stocked and scheduled, and then the lift goes down over a pin, a clip, or a spring that nobody thought to have on the shelf. Hardware is the highest-leverage inventory in lift maintenance: the unit cost is trivial, the failure mode is a stopped bay, and the lead time is the same freight wait as any other part. When you order the hardware that failed, order its twin on the other side of the lift too — both sides carry the same hours, so the second failure is already scheduled whether you planned for it or not.

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.

Check the mirror position of whatever failed. Lifts are symmetric machines: the same pin, spring, or bushing exists on the other column or the other end of the crossbeam, with identical hours on it. If one side measured worn, the other side is close behind, and the labor is already paid while the lift is apart. Also inspect the hardware you had to remove for access — disturbed fasteners deserve a look before reuse.

Waiting on a hardware part is not a reason to run the lift without it. A lift missing a retaining clip or running a known-broken spring is out of service until the part arrives — the couple of days of patience is cheaper than what an unretained pin lets go of.
