The Challenger 12741-04 replacement part is the direct replacement for the Challenger lift it came off of. This is the genuine Challenger part — same fit and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the Challenger replacement part 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: 12741-04
• Brand: Challenger
• Type: Genuine OEM replacement part

Lift manufacturers revise their machines mid-production without changing the model name, which means two lifts that look identical across the shop can take different parts. The part number on this page fits a specific design — and the way to be sure it fits yours is the model and serial number on your lift’s data tag, not the model name alone and not memory. Serial-range splits are the most common reason a correctly named part comes back: right lift, wrong revision. Thirty seconds with the data tag before you order beats a week of freight in both directions.

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.

Find the data tag — usually on a column or the power unit — and read the model and serial before ordering. If the tag is painted over, gone, or unreadable, look for numbers stamped into the old part itself, or send us a photo of the part and its mounting; we identify lift parts from photos every week. While you are at the tag, note it somewhere permanent, because you will need it again.

If the replacement does not match the old part when you unbox it, stop and call before installing it. Forcing a near-fit part onto a lift is how a parts order turns into a structural problem — the fit difference usually exists for a reason.
