The Challenger CLHM-FLA is the direct-replacement lift adapter 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 lift adapter 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-FLA
• Brand: Challenger
• Type: Genuine OEM lift adapter

Adapters take a beating because they're the parts techs handle every day — stacked, swapped, dropped, and driven over. A bent lip, a mushroomed top, or a cracked weld on a frame-cradle adapter comes from that daily handling as much as from load. Because they're small and get tossed in a pile, they're easy to grab without a second look — which is exactly how a bent one ends up under a car.

Replacing your lift adapter

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

The surest way to get the right part is to work from your lift's own breakdown. open our Challenger parts lookup, choose your model, and every part is mapped on the drawing with its number and price. If you cannot find the model plate, our guide to finding your model number explains where each lift type hides it, and our phone line is open if you want a hand.

Signs this part is worn out

Start with the pads. A good pad is thick, square, and grippy; a worn one is crushed flat, cracked through, torn at the edge, or hardened smooth so it no longer bites. If a pad is missing chunks, oil-soaked, or compressed past half its original height, replace it — a slick or crushed pad lets the vehicle's lift point slide right off the arm.

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.
