Challenger Lift Extensions and Challenger Lift Parts - Standard Column Extension Kit for CL16 and CL20
Your CL16 or CL20 is built for heavy work. When you need more column height, you don't want a generic add-on creating a weak point in a lift rated for 16,000 to 20,000 lbs. The Challenger 12310-0 delivers the correct Challenger lift extensions for the CL16 and CL20 series 2-post lifts - cables and hardware sized to the load demands of these high-capacity machines.
This isn't a universal kit that might fit. It's the correct challenger lift parts for your specific lift. Cables are spec'd for the CL16/CL20's higher load demands, so you're not trading structural integrity for the height you need. Everything required for the extension is in the box.
One thing to note before ordering: Challenger requires your lift's serial number and color when the kit is ordered separately from a new lift. Have both ready and call us - we'll confirm fitment before you place the order.

What's Included - Challenger Lifts Parts

Genuine challenger lifts parts - cables and hardware matched to the CL16/CL20 series. No sourcing additional hardware separately.
Installation and Setup
The 12310-0 is designed for the CL16 and CL20 series only. Before ordering, have your lift's serial number and lift color on hand. Challenger requires both when the extension kit is ordered as a standalone item, separate from a new lift purchase. This ensures you get the correct challenger auto lift parts - the right cable lengths and hardware match for your exact configuration.
Installation must be performed per Challenger's official instructions by a CLI authorized representative. Work outside those specs voids the warranty on a machine rated to 20,000 lbs.
Applications for Challenger Lifts CL16 and CL20
Shops running high-capacity service on commercial vehicles, fleet trucks, or large SUVs where extra column height is needed to clear taller vehicles comfortably.
If your shop is expanding into taller vehicle categories and your current lift height isn't clearing the job, this kit extends your existing challenger car lift parts investment rather than replacing the whole unit.
When a shop moves to a location with higher ceiling clearance, this extension lets you take full advantage of the additional overhead space with your existing challenger auto lift.
Shops restoring or refurbishing a used CL16 or CL20 that needs correct-spec columns and cables to bring the lift back to proper operating standards.
