The Challenger CLHM-CVR-H is the direct-replacement column component for the Challenger lift it came off of — the genuine part, same fit and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the Challenger column 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: CLHM-CVR-H
- Brand: Challenger
- Type: Genuine OEM column component
- Lift type: mobile-column lift
Structural parts fail by deforming and by cracking. A rubber arm pad crushes flat and stops gripping; an adapter's lip bends until it won't seat on a pinch weld; a pin hole wallows out egg-shaped from years of load reversal; a weld on an arm or carriage starts a hairline crack. None of these announce themselves with a leak or a noise — you find them by looking, before they let a car slip.

The parts below are commonly ordered alongside this one — cables, sheaves, seals, and hardware wear on similar schedules, and most repairs go faster when the whole set is done in one visit.
Replacing your column component
A slide-block replacement gets the carriage riding square in the column again instead of steel-on-steel. Pull the carriage down, swap the worn blocks, and confirm the carriage moves freely without cocking. It's methodical work with a clear sequence, spelled out in full in the step-by-step guide. 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
Look at adapter lips and cradles. The lip that hooks a pinch weld or the cradle that cups a frame rail has to be straight and square to seat. A bent, mushroomed, or spread lip won't sit flat and lets the vehicle load a corner or slip. Set the adapter on a flat surface and check it doesn't rock — a bent adapter is a cheap part that can drop a car.
Parts commonly replaced at the same time
Handle the companions while you are at it. The hardware that mounts a worn pad or adapter is often worn too, and the other contact points are on the same clock. One order for the full set keeps the lift even and saves a second trip. Tell us your lift and we will kit it.
Safety notes
The safe grip between lift and vehicle lives in the pads, adapters, and arm hardware — and every one of them wears. A crushed pad or a wallowed-out pin bore is a slip waiting to happen. Change them at the first sign of damage, secure all hardware to spec, and never trust a load to a worn contact point.
Before you order
Ordering tip: contact and locating parts are model-specific and usually come as sets, so count what you need and read the plate before you buy. If the pads are crushed, the pins and hardware around them are often due too — ask and we will tell you what commonly goes together on your lift.
Check your lift's serial before ordering
The most common reason a lift part comes back is not a defect — it is a revision mismatch. Manufacturers change sub-parts between production runs while keeping the same lift model name, so "it fits my lift model" is not always enough. The model plate carries the serial number that pins your lift to a specific run, and that is the number that settles which version of this part belongs on your lift.
Can't find the plate? Measure the old part — overall length, bolt-hole spacing, thread size on anything threaded — and photograph it from a couple of angles. Send that with your lift's brand and rough age and we will match it against the parts breakdowns we service from every week.
