Challenger 44AK40 Internal Air Line Kit for Dual Rolling Jacks
Challenger Lifts 44AK40 Internal Air Line Kit for Dual Rolling Jack Operation
The Challenger Lifts 44AK40 is an OEM-engineered internal air line accessory kit designed to enable simultaneous dual rolling jack operation on Challenger 44040, 44050, and 44060 series four-post lifts. This complete kit routes shop air internally through the lift's structure, eliminating external hose clutter and trip hazards while delivering consistent 85-115 psi operating pressure to two air-powered rolling jacks. Shipped at approximately 20-25 lb with all required fittings and fasteners included, the 44AK40 is built for professional automotive and fleet maintenance facilities that demand efficient, organized, and safe service bays. Backed by Challenger's manufacturer warranty, this kit integrates seamlessly with your existing lift system.
Challenger 44AK40 Features
Internal Air System Integration
The 44AK40 routes pressurized shop air through the lift's internal structure, delivering clean, dry air to two rolling jacks without external hose runs. This integrated design maintains consistent air pressure delivery across both jack systems while protecting the air supply from shop floor contamination, abrasion, and mechanical damage.
Simultaneous Dual Jack Operation
Support two air-powered rolling jacks operating at the same time, with each jack controlled independently through the lift's integrated pneumatic manifold. Both jacks receive full-pressure airflow at 85-115 psi without one jack robbing pressure or capacity from the other, eliminating bottlenecks during multi-technician service operations.
OEM-Engineered Component Compatibility
Engineered specifically for Challenger's 44040, 44050, and 44060 series four-post lifts, the 44AK40 ensures proper airflow characteristics, fittings compatibility, and mechanical integration. All required hoses, fittings, and fasteners are included, eliminating trial-and-error sourcing of generic components and preserving your lift's certified performance and warranty coverage.
Workspace Safety and Organization
By internalizing all pneumatic connections, this kit eliminates external air hoses that create trip hazards, fire hazards, and clutter in the work area. Technicians gain unobstructed access around the entire lift structure, improving both safety and confidence when working under heavy vehicles on high-capacity lifts.
Improved Service Throughput
Dual-jack capability reduces wait times between jobs in fleet and commercial shops performing brake work, wheel service, suspension work, and under-vehicle maintenance. Facilities using 40,000 to 60,000 lb capacity lifts can service vehicles more quickly without equipment conflicts or pressure-balancing delays.
Complete Ready-to-Install Kit
The 44AK40 ships as a complete package with all required hoses, fittings, and fasteners for installation. No additional sourcing or adapter stacking is needed - every component is matched to Challenger's design specifications and operational envelope for a straightforward installation process.

Challenger 44AK40 FAQ
What lifts are compatible with the Challenger 44AK40?
The 44AK40 is designed exclusively for Challenger 44040, 44050, and 44060 series four-post lifts. It is not compatible with other Challenger models, two-post lifts, or lifts from other manufacturers. Verify your lift model number before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Can I operate two rolling jacks at the same time with this kit?
Yes. The 44AK40 is specifically engineered for simultaneous dual rolling jack operation. Each jack is controlled independently through the lift's integrated pneumatic manifold, and both jacks receive full-pressure airflow at 85-115 psi without one robbing pressure from the other.
What air supply do I need to operate this kit?
The kit requires clean, dry compressed air from your shop compressor system at an operating pressure range of 85-115 psi. Your compressor must have sufficient volume capacity to supply two rolling jacks simultaneously without pressure drops below the minimum operating threshold.
What is included in the 44AK40 kit?
The kit includes all required internal air line hoses, pneumatic fittings, connectors, mounting fasteners, and hardware needed for installation. Rolling jacks, the shop air compressor, and installation labor are not included.
Can I install the 44AK40 myself?
While the kit includes all necessary components, professional installation by a qualified technician familiar with pneumatic systems and Challenger lift equipment is recommended. Proper installation per manufacturer guidelines ensures the system operates safely within designed pressure tolerances and preserves your lift's warranty coverage.
Will this kit void my Challenger lift warranty?
No. The 44AK40 is an OEM-engineered accessory designed by Challenger for their own lifts. When installed according to Challenger's guidelines, the kit is designed to maintain your lift's certified performance and warranty coverage. See the full Challenger warranty document for complete details.
How does internal air routing improve my shop compared to external hoses?
Internal routing eliminates external air hoses that create trip hazards, fire hazards, and workspace clutter. Technicians gain unobstructed access around the entire lift structure, and the pressurized lines are protected from abrasion, mechanical damage, and shop floor contamination. This results in a safer, cleaner, and more efficient work environment.
How much does the 44AK40 kit weigh and how is it shipped?
The kit weighs approximately 20-25 lb (9-11 kg) and ships in a package measuring approximately 18 x 18 x 18 inches. Free shipping is available to commercial addresses in the 48 contiguous United States. Contact sales for international shipping quotes.
What is the return policy for the 44AK40?
Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. The product must be unopened in its original packaging with a receipt. A 20% restocking fee applies, and the buyer is responsible for return shipping costs.
Do I need any additional parts or adapters to install this kit?
No. The 44AK40 is a complete kit with all hoses, fittings, and fasteners required for installation on compatible Challenger lifts. You do not need to source generic components or additional adapters. A compatible Challenger four-post lift and a shop air compressor system are the only prerequisites.
Will this kit work with any brand of air-powered rolling jack?
The kit is designed to supply compressed air to two air-powered rolling jacks through the lift's internal structure. While it is engineered for use with Challenger-compatible rolling jacks, any air-powered rolling jack that operates within the 85-115 psi pressure range and fits the lift's pneumatic connections should be compatible. Contact our equipment specialists if you need help verifying jack compatibility.
Can I use this kit to operate just one rolling jack instead of two?
Yes. While the 44AK40 is designed for dual rolling jack operation, it can also be used with a single rolling jack. The internal air routing and workspace organization benefits still apply even when operating one jack. This also provides the flexibility to add a second jack in the future without additional plumbing work.
