The Challenger CLHM-SP-240 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-SP-240
• Brand: Challenger
• Type: Genuine OEM lift adapter

An arm, its pad, and its adapters work as a stack, and the whole stack has to be sound to hold a car safely. A perfect arm with a crushed pad still slips; a good pad on a bent adapter still won't seat square. The carriage ties the arms to the column, and the column hardware ties everything to the structure. A weak link anywhere in that chain is a weak link under the whole vehicle.

Replacing your lift adapter

Swapping arm pads is one of the simplest jobs on a lift — pop the old pad, seat the new one in the arm's cup or bolt pattern — but it's also one of the most important, because the pad is what grips the car. Confirm the new pads match the arms and sit flush. Even so, the full procedure is worth a quick read before you put a vehicle back on them. 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

On the carriage, check the slide blocks. Pull the lift up and look at the block faces; bare metal, deep scoring, or blocks worn thin mean the carriage is riding steel on steel and cocking in the column. Worn blocks change how the carriage sits, which loads the arm pins and the locks unevenly. Replace them before the carriage starts chewing the column.

Parts commonly replaced at the same time

While you are replacing this, check its companions: worn pads often ride with worn adapters and elongated pin bores. Replacing the set keeps the vehicle sitting square on the lift. Tell us your model and we will build the pad-and-adapter kit plus the mounting hardware so nothing is left worn.

Safety notes

The parts that touch the vehicle — pads, adapters, ramps, arm hardware — are what keep it from slipping off the lift. Once a pad is crushed, a lip is bent, or a pin hole has wallowed out, the safe grip is gone. Swap them at the first sign of wear rather than trusting a vehicle to a worn contact point.

Before you order

Get the structural order right by matching the old part: shape, size, and mounting style all vary by model. Most contact parts belong in sets, so replace them together for even support. Confirm model and serial when you call and we will make sure the fit is correct before it ships.

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.
