But if your bays see road salt residue, chemical overspray, constant moisture, or heavy washdown cycles, that finish breaks down faster than you'd expect. Rust starts at the joints, spreads along the arm tubes, and before long you're looking at replacement arms or a whole new lift. The Challenger 2PHDGUPGRADE galvanized arm upgrade eliminates that problem with hot-dip galvanized steel arms that resist corrosion at a level powder coat can't match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a complete front and rear arm replacement set, factory-engineered for the Challenger CL10AV3 and CL12A 2-post lifts. Hot-dip galvanizing bonds zinc metallurgically to the steel, not just on the surface but into the base metal itself. That means scratches, chips, and abrasion don't expose bare steel the way they would on a painted or powder-coated arm. The zinc layer continues to protect even where the surface gets nicked, which is exactly what happens in a busy bay where tools, wheels, and exhaust components make contact with the arms daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're ordering a new CL10AV3 or CL12A, spec the galvanized arms upfront and save yourself the headache down the road. If you're running an existing lift and the standard arms are showing wear, this is a direct OEM replacement that maintains the original lift performance, geometry, and rated capacity. Either way, you're extending the usable life of a 10,000 or 12,000 lb capacity lift with an upgrade that pays for itself in reduced maintenance and deferred replacement costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection id=\"specifications\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"gsg-spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2PHDGUPGRADE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGalvanized Swing Arm Upgrade Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComplete arm replacement set (front and rear arms)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel with hot-dip galvanized coating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoating Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMetallurgically bonded zinc (hot-dip galvanizing)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndustrial galvanized\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Lifts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChallenger CL10AV3, Challenger CL12A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCL10AV3 Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10,000 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCL12A Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12,000 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM replacement \/ factory upgrade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChallenger Lifts (Genuine OEM)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection id=\"whats-included\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCall to confirm included accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection id=\"applications\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gsg-app-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gsg-app-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoastal and High-Humidity Shops\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSalt air accelerates corrosion on standard powder-coated arms.
