The Challenger CL10A-2 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: CL10A-2
- Brand: Challenger
- Type: Genuine OEM replacement part
Do the math on a dead lift bay: a bay that bills steadily is producing hundreds of dollars a day, and the part holding it hostage is very often something small. That is the real cost equation on lift parts — not the price on this page, but the days between failure and repair. The shops that feel it worst are the ones that wait until a part strands a vehicle in the air on a Friday. Keeping the known wear items on hand, or ordering them the day symptoms show up, keeps a twenty-dollar part from charging you a week’s rent on the bay it shut down.

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.
While the lift is already apart, replace what is on the same clock. Parts that wear together should be replaced together — the labor of opening the lift up is the expensive half of the job, and doing it twice for two parts that could have shipped in one box is the most common money leak in lift maintenance. Check the mating parts, the hardware, and anything you had to disturb to get here.
Downtime pressure is exactly when shortcuts happen — the temporary fix, the not-quite-right part, the lock that gets bypassed for one job. Do not let a busy schedule talk you into running a lift in a condition you would flag on someone else’s equipment.

About this challenger cl10a base unit
Sourcing the correct challenger cl10a base unit is not the spot a shop wants to gamble. This piece sits inside a load path the lift manufacturer engineered to specific tolerances, and a substitute that looks close but is off by even a small margin can transfer load onto a neighboring component that was not designed for it. We stock this exact part to the OEM specification the original manufacturer publishes, which is why techs who have been through a bad aftermarket cycle keep coming back to us for the same replacement whenever their next need comes up.
Technical specification & installation notes
Technical specification matches the OEM published dimensions to within manufacturing tolerance. When a shop installs the challenger cl10a base unit correctly, the lift returns to factory-rated performance immediately — no break-in period, no cycle-count adjustment required. The lift's safety systems (mechanical locks, hydraulic pressure relief, and electrical interlocks) treat a correctly-installed replacement exactly as they would treat a factory-original component during initial commissioning. That parity is what lets us honor warranty coverage without asking for the lift's full operating history.
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 challenger cl10a base unit 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 challenger cl10a base unit 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 challenger cl10a base unit 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.
