The Challenger 3W-01-14 carriage component is the direct replacement for the Challenger lift it came off of. Cross-referenced as ALS-7233-224, 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 carriage component 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-7233-224
- Brand: Challenger
- Type: Genuine OEM carriage component
The arm pad is the rubber or poly contact point between the steel arm and the vehicle's lift point. Its whole job is to grip and to protect the pinch weld or frame from the hard steel underneath. Every pad is a wear item by design — it compresses, hardens, cracks, and eventually tears or crushes flat, at which point it stops gripping and starts letting the car slide.

Replacing your carriage component
Ramp and approach-part replacement is straightforward, but the part has to sit flush and lock where it should so it can't kick out under a car driving on. Check the hinges, stops, and retainers as you go. Because it's load-bearing at drive-on, the full procedure is worth following before you use it. Not sure on the procedure? Find your lift in our parts lookup or call and we will walk you through it.
Find the right part for your lift
If you are not sure this part matches your setup, the fastest check is the visual breakdown: open our Challenger parts lookup, pick your model, and match your part against the drawing where every item is numbered. Can't read the model plate? our guide to finding your model number shows exactly where it lives on each lift type, and we are a phone call away if you would rather have us confirm it.
Signs this part is worn out
Watch the lift hold a vehicle. With a car on the arms, look for any pad that squirms, any adapter that rocks, any arm that settles or rotates. Movement under load that shouldn't be there points straight to a worn pad, a bent adapter, a wallowed pin hole, or a loose retainer. The car sitting rock-solid is the pass; anything shifting is a part to find and replace.
Parts commonly replaced at the same time
Contact and locating parts usually wear as a group, so when you order this one, think about the set — the other three pads, the adapters that go with them, the pins and hardware that mount them. Doing the full set keeps the lift even and saves a second order. We will pull the matched group for your model.
Safety notes
Structural parts carry the vehicle's weight and locate it safely on the lift, so worn or damaged ones are a drop risk. A crushed arm pad, a bent ramp lip, or an egg-shaped mounting hole lets a load shift where it should stay put. Replace them before they move, and never load a lift with a compromised contact point.
Before you order
Have your model and serial handy, and think in sets: four arm pads, the matching adapters, the hardware that mounts them. Ordering the full set keeps the lift even and saves a second order. Send a photo of the old part if you are unsure which version your lift takes.
Not sure this fits? Here's how to check
Pull the number off your lift's model plate first — model and serial both. Manufacturers run mid-cycle revisions that keep the model name but change hardware, so two lifts with the same name on the column can take different parts. The serial is what removes the guesswork.
Second check: compare the old part against this listing before you order. Length, mounting pattern, and thread sizes tell most of the story. If anything doesn't line up, or if the old part is too worn or broken to measure, call us with photos — we work on these lifts every week and can usually confirm fit from a picture and the lift's serial faster than you can dig through a parts diagram.

About this sa10 carriage lock
The sa10 carriage lock is a direct-fit replacement engineered to restore original manufacturer performance on the lift model it services. Every piece we ship carries the exact dimensional and material specifications the OEM published for that application. Fitment on this component is critical: it interfaces with adjacent hardware in ways that any deviation from spec can drive premature wear on nearby parts or trigger the lift's mechanical safety systems into an unexpected condition. Shops that source this from us instead of a generic aftermarket substitute consistently report zero fitment issues on first-time installation.
Technical specification & installation notes
Cycle life on this piece depends heavily on operating conditions. In a typical commercial repair shop running 6-10 lifts per day, the sa10 carriage lock should deliver five to eight years of service before showing measurable wear against the OEM inspection specification. In a high-volume tire or alignment shop running 20+ lifts per day per bay, expect service every three to five years. It is designed to be a serviceable component; when it does wear it wears within safe operating margins that trigger visible symptoms — drift, uneven wear, minor leakage — well before failure becomes a safety issue.
Shipping & ordering
Shipping runs 3-5 business days on standard ground to the lower 48 states. Expedited overnight and two-day options are available; call 800-674-9302 before ordering to quote expedited freight. We stock the sa10 carriage lock in Iowa and ship same-day for orders confirmed before 2 PM Central. Orders that come in later than that or on a Friday afternoon pick up on the next business day. A tracking number gets emailed to the address on the order the moment the package leaves our dock.
Warranty coverage
Consumables and wear parts like this are covered under the manufacturer defect warranty for twelve months. Because the sa10 carriage lock is a component that eventually needs replacement in normal operation, warranty coverage specifically addresses failure due to manufacturing defect, not failure due to normal end-of-life wear. Our team can help distinguish between the two on a phone call if there is any question after installation — call 800-674-9302 and describe the failure pattern; we will tell you honestly whether it looks like a warranty case.
Cross-reference & fitment
Cross-reference on the sa10 carriage lock is straightforward: match the OEM part number from the lift's parts breakdown against the number on your original invoice. If the numbers match, the component fits. If your lift's parts breakdown lists a superseded or alternate number, we accept the superseded value on the phone as confirmation of fit. When a manufacturer has issued a running change during production, we track the change in our catalog so ordering by the older number automatically pulls the current-spec replacement.
