Challenger 8841-01011 Heavy-Duty Differential Adapter for CLHM-HTCJ-2000
Pulling a differential with a transmission jack that doesn't have the right head for the job turns a 45-minute R&R into an exercise in shimming, balancing, and hoping nothing shifts. The Challenger 8841-01011 heavy-duty differential adapter converts your CLHM-HTCJ-2000 high-rise transmission jack into a purpose-built differential handling tool, giving you a secure cradle that matches the housing profile instead of fighting with a flat head plate.
The CLHM-HTCJ-2000 is Challenger's 2,700 lb capacity two-stage transmission jack with a 30" starting height and 72" max lift. It's already built for heavy component work, with air power on the first stage for speed and air/hydraulic on the second stage for precise positioning. The 360-degree rotating head with fore and aft tilt handles transmission alignment during installation. Adding the 8841-01011 adapter extends that same precision to differential work, where you need controlled support under a round, heavy housing that doesn't sit flat on a standard head plate.
This is the heavy-duty version. Challenger also offers a medium-duty differential adapter (P/N 841-00028) for lighter applications. If you're pulling rear ends out of 3/4-ton and 1-ton trucks, fleet vehicles, or commercial equipment on your mobile column setup, the 8841-01011 is the one you want. It's a genuine Challenger accessory that maintains the rated performance and stability of the CLHM-HTCJ-2000 during differential service.

Applications
Full rear axle and differential removal on pickup trucks, SUVs, and commercial vehicles. The adapter cradles the housing securely so you can unbolt, lower, service, and reinstall without improvising support.
3/4-ton, 1-ton, and medium-duty fleet vehicles carry heavy differentials that exceed what a standard flat head plate can safely control. The 8841-01011 pairs with the CLHM-HTCJ-2000's 2,700 lb capacity for secure handling.
The CLHM-HTCJ-2000 is designed as a companion tool for Challenger's CLMM-5000 and CLHM 14K/19K mobile column lifts. Adding the differential adapter means you can handle both transmission and differential work on the same lift setup.
Beyond differentials, the adapter's cradle profile can support other heavy, irregularly shaped drivetrain components that don't sit securely on a flat head plate, reducing shimming and repositioning during service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which transmission jack does the 8841-01011 fit?
The 8841-01011 is designed exclusively for the Challenger CLHM-HTCJ-2000 high-rise transmission jack. That's Challenger's 2,700 lb capacity two-stage jack with a 30" starting height and 72" max lift. It does not fit the CLHM-HTJ-1000 or CLHM-HTJ-1200 transmission jacks, which use different head configurations.
What's the difference between the 8841-01011 and the 841-00028?
Both are differential adapters for the CLHM-HTCJ-2000, but they're rated for different applications. The 8841-01011 is the heavy-duty version, built for larger, heavier differentials found in 3/4-ton and 1-ton trucks and commercial vehicles. The 841-00028 is the medium-duty version for lighter passenger vehicle differentials. Choose based on the size and weight of the housings you're regularly servicing.
Can I use this adapter for transmission work too?
No. The 8841-01011 is a differential-specific adapter with a cradle profile shaped to support round differential housings. The CLHM-HTCJ-2000 already comes with a standard head plate and 360-degree rotating head for transmission work. You swap the adapter on when you need to switch from transmission to differential service.
Does the CLHM-HTCJ-2000 work with Challenger mobile column lifts?
Yes. The CLHM-HTCJ-2000 transmission jack is designed as a companion tool for Challenger's CLMM-5000 medium-duty and CLHM 14K/19K heavy-duty mobile column lifts. With the 8841-01011 differential adapter installed, you can handle both transmission and differential R&R within your mobile column lift workflow.
How does the two-stage jack power system work?
The CLHM-HTCJ-2000 uses a two-stage lifting system. The first stage is 100% air-powered for fast initial rise from the 30" starting height. The second stage switches to air/hydraulic for precise, controlled positioning as you approach the component. This gives you speed when you need it and fine control during the critical alignment phase of installation or removal.
What capacity is the jack rated for with this adapter installed?
The CLHM-HTCJ-2000 is rated at 2,700 lb. The 8841-01011 adapter does not change the jack's rated capacity. Always ensure the differential and housing weight falls within the 2,700 lb limit before lifting.
Is the 8841-01011 a genuine Challenger part?
Yes. The 8841-01011 is a genuine Challenger Lifts OEM accessory, not an aftermarket adapter. Using the OEM adapter ensures proper fitment on the CLHM-HTCJ-2000 head and maintains the jack's rated performance and stability specifications.
Is this adapter covered under Challenger's warranty?
Yes. Challenger Lifts provides a limited warranty to the original purchaser covering repair or replacement of defective parts. The adapter must be used according to Challenger's specifications. Coverage is not transferable, and warranty registration may be required after purchase.
