This is the genuine Challenger part — same fit and same working specification as the one already on your lift.

A shop in a salt-belt climate, or a lift that sat in a damp corner for a few years, loses cable to corrosion long before it ever wears out mechanically. Surface rust you can live with; rust that has eaten into the strands or frozen a sheave bushing you cannot. Once the steel is pitting under the outer wires, the rated strength is already gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lock-release cable is the thin cable that pulls all the safety pawls out of the ladders at once so the lift can descend evenly. When it stretches, frays, or a return spring weakens, one lock hangs while the others let go and the lift comes down cocked. It's a small, cheap part doing a safety-critical job, and a lift that won't release evenly is a lift that isn't safe to run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRelated parts for this lift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/challenger-jsj5-03-06ch-overhead-sheave-pin-tube\" style=\"color:#0b5a9c;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eChallenger JSJ5-03-06CH Overhead Sheave Pin Tube\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/challenger-jsj5-03-07ch-cable-trapping-rod-mdl-e10\" style=\"color:#0b5a9c;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eChallenger JSJ5-03-07ch Cable Trapping Rod Model E10\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/challenger-jsj5-04-00h-synchronizing-cable-q10-eh2\" style=\"color:#0b5a9c;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eChallenger JSJ5-04-00H Synchronizing Cable Q10, Eh2\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/challenger-jsj5-04-00hk-synch-cable-q10-eh2-16mm-stud\" style=\"color:#0b5a9c;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eChallenger JSJ5-04-00HK Synch Cable Q10 Eh2 16Mm Stud\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/challenger-jsj5-04-00q-synch-cable-q10-m18-stud\" style=\"color:#0b5a9c;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eChallenger JSJ5-04-00Q Synch Cable Q10 M18 Stud\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/challenger-jsj5-04-00qk-synch-cable-q10-m16-stud\" style=\"color:#0b5a9c;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eChallenger JSJ5-04-00QK Synch Cable Q10 M16 Stud\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReplacing your lifting cable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacing a lift cable is straightforward hand-tool work, but the details decide whether the lift lands level afterward — routing each cable correctly over its sheaves, connecting the hard-to-reach end first, and setting the adjusting nuts so every lock clicks together. Before you cut the old cable off, lay the new one alongside it to confirm the length is right. Because a mis-routed or unequal set makes the lift arrive crooked, the full procedure is worth following start to finish. \u003cstrong\u003eFull step-by-step: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/autoliftserv.com\/articles\/how-to-replace-2-post-lift-cables\/\" style=\"color:#0b5a9c;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003ehow to replace 2-post lift cables\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFind the right part for your lift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLanded here but not 100% sure it is your part?

Check where the cable turns each sheave, because that's where it works hardest. A groove worn to a sharp V instead of a smooth radius, or a sheave that won't spin freely, means the pulley is chewing the cable — replace both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eParts commonly replaced at the same time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRarely is a tension part a solo job. A worn cable often means the sheaves it rides are grooved, and a failed sheave chews cables — so plan on doing them together. We can pull the matched cable set plus sheaves and pins for your exact lift so nothing gets missed and you are not back in there next month.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole reason a lift has redundant locks is that cables and sheaves are wear items that will eventually fail — your job is to replace them before they get there. Do not run a lift on a cable with broken strands or a sheave with a chipped flange, and never work under a load resting on tension parts you do not trust. Drop it to the locks first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGet it right the first time: note your lift's model and serial, count the cables in the set, and check the sheaves while you are at it. Ordering matched tension parts together saves a return and a repeat teardown. If you are unsure which length your lift takes, send a photo of the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCheck your lift's serial before ordering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy your Challenger lifting cable from Auto Lift Services\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe install, inspect, and repair Challenger lifts every week — the JSJ5-04-00 is a part we handle in the shop, not a random SKU we drop-ship.
