The Challenger A1122-9 hydraulic hose 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 hydraulic hose 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: A1122-9
• Brand: Challenger
• Type: Genuine OEM hydraulic hose
• Fits: CL10DPC

Not every hydraulic problem is the cylinder. A lift that lowers itself overnight usually has a lowering valve that won't seat or a leaking check, not a bad seal. A lift that jerks or won't reach full height can be a tired pump or a flow valve out of adjustment. And a hose that's cracked near the crimp will spray under pressure — a real hazard, not just a mess to mop up.

The power unit bundles the motor, pump, reservoir, and valves into one hangable box, usually bolted to a column or a pump stand. Press up and the motor spins the pump, which draws fluid from the reservoir and sends it to the cylinder; release, and the dump valve routes it back. The single spec that matters most is voltage — 110 versus 220 — because the wrong one turns the whole unit into a paperweight.

Replacing your hydraulic hose

A lowering or flow valve issue — a lift that drifts down or won't reach full height — is often fixed at the valve rather than the cylinder, but it takes a methodical check to be sure. Isolate whether the leak is internal or external, then service or replace the valve and confirm the lift holds height afterward. The step-by-step guide lays out how to trace it.

Find the right part for your lift

Landed here but not 100% sure it is your part? Grab the model and serial from the data plate and open our Challenger parts lookup for the visual breakdown — the manufacturer-style drawing with every item numbered so you can match yours exactly. Plate missing? our guide to finding your model number helps, and we identify lifts from photos every week if you would rather ask.

Signs of a hydraulic problem

Pull the reservoir cap and look at the fluid. Clear amber (or clean red for ATF) is good; milky or foamy means water has gotten in and the pump is aerating; dark and gritty means the system is wearing and the filter is loading up. Fluid condition tells you as much about the hydraulic health of the lift as any single part will.

Parts commonly replaced at the same time

One trip up, one refill, one bleed: order the companion hydraulic parts with this one. A seal kit alongside a cylinder, a fresh hose, and the correct oil turn a partial fix into a finished job. Tell us what lift you have and we will build the kit so nothing is left to fail next.

Hydraulic fluid

Fluid matters on any hydraulic repair: most lifts take an ISO-32 hydraulic oil, though a number of older ones spec Dexron ATF. Match whatever is already in the reservoir rather than mixing types, and top off to the level your manual specifies after bleeding — capacities differ from model to model.

Safety notes

Pressure and cleanliness are the two rules. Bleed the system completely so there is no air to compress, keep contamination out of every open port, and prove the lift holds at full height with no drift before it sees a vehicle. If you are not certain the bleed is complete, do it again — this is not the place to guess.

Before you order

Ordering tip: hydraulic parts are matched to the lift's pressure and geometry, so read the model and serial off the plate and, for hoses and cylinders, have the old part's dimensions. Plan to replace the oil and bleed the system as part of the job, and add a seal kit if you are opening the cylinder anyway.

Ordering the right revision

Before this goes in the cart, grab two things off your lift: the model number and the serial number, both on the manufacturer's plate. The serial matters more than most people expect — lift makers revise components between production runs without renaming the lift, and the run your serial falls in determines which revision of this part is correct.

If you are working from a failed part rather than a plate, measure what you have and photograph how it mounts. Send that to us along with the lift brand, and we will check it against the same parts breakdowns our own techs use in the field before you commit to the order.
