Challenger A2006-57-3 3-Foot Height Extension Kit for CL10 Lifts
Challenger A2006-57-3 3-Foot Height Extension Kit for CL10 Series 2-Post Lifts
The Challenger A2006-57-3 is a factory-engineered 3-foot (36-inch) column height extension kit designed exclusively for CL10-series 2-post automotive lifts. This matched dual-column extension set raises your lift's overall column height by 36 inches (914 mm), enabling service on tall vehicles such as commercial vans, full-size SUVs, and lifted trucks. Engineered as a genuine OEM structural component, the A2006-57-3 preserves Challenger's 5-year structural parts warranty when installed according to manufacturer procedures. Expand your shop's service capability without replacing your entire lift system.
Challenger A2006-57-3 Features
CL10-Specific OEM Engineering
The A2006-57-3 is engineered from the factory as a dedicated structural component for CL10-series lifts. Every dimension, fastener specification, and load path has been validated against the base CL10 lift design to ensure safe integration without field modification, adapter experimentation, or alignment guesswork. This eliminates the compatibility uncertainty and structural risk associated with generic or improvised height extensions on precision 2-post lifts.
Predictable 36-Inch Height Increase
This extension delivers a fixed, measurable 36-inch (914 mm) height increase across the entire dual-column system. The OEM design ensures equal extension on both columns, preserving the lift's symmetrical load distribution during operation. Shops can verify the extended lift height against their ceiling clearance before installation, enabling accurate facility planning and eliminating the risk of unplanned modifications.
Structural Warranty Preservation
When installed correctly, the A2006-57-3 maintains Challenger's 5-year structural parts warranty coverage - the only OEM extension kit engineered to preserve warranty eligibility on CL10-series lifts. Aftermarket or field-fabricated height modifications typically void existing warranty protection, leaving your facility exposed to liability and repair costs. Proper installation documentation and warranty registration lock in long-term coverage.
Factory-Paired Dual-Column System
The extension kit includes a matched pair of column extensions designed and tested as an integrated system. Each extension is produced to identical specifications with synchronized rise characteristics, guaranteeing equal 36-inch travel on both sides during lifting and lowering cycles. This eliminates height variance, binding, and uneven load distribution commonly found in field-assembled or mixed-source extension components.
Cost-Efficient Upgrade Path
The A2006-57-3 increases your existing CL10 lift height by 3 full feet without requiring the purchase of a new extended-height lift system. This provides a significant cost advantage for shops that need to service taller vehicles but want to maximize the return on their current lift investment. Upgrade your service capability while keeping your existing lift infrastructure in place.
Extended Service Bay Versatility
With the additional 36 inches of column height, your CL10 lift can accommodate a significantly wider range of vehicle profiles - from standard passenger cars to commercial vans, lifted trucks, and specialty vehicles. This versatility allows single-bay and multi-bay operations to handle more vehicle types without facility renovation or additional lift purchases.
Challenger A2006-57-3 Applications
- Commercial Van Service: Accommodates extended-length commercial vans, shuttle buses, and high-roof van bodies requiring maximum column height for engine compartment access, transmission work, and frame component service.
- Full-Size SUV and Crossover Operations: Provides exceptional clearance for large full-size SUVs, crew-cab crossovers, and three-row family vehicles with higher ground clearance and taller profiles.
- Lifted Truck and Specialty Vehicles: Enables service of heavily lifted trucks, monster trucks, and specialty vehicles where the additional 36-inch extension maintains safe working height for comprehensive undercarriage access.
- Fleet and Commercial Operations: Upgrade existing CL10 lifts in large fleet service bays and commercial maintenance facilities without full equipment replacement, extending installed system capability at a fraction of the cost.
- Multi-Profile Service Facilities: Allows single-bay or multi-bay operations to efficiently service a wider range of vehicle types - from compact cars to commercial vans and lifted trucks - without facility renovation or additional lift purchases.

Challenger A2006-57-3 FAQ
What lifts are compatible with the A2006-57-3 extension kit?
The A2006-57-3 is designed exclusively for Challenger CL10-series 2-post lifts, such as the CL10V3. It is not compatible with other Challenger lift series or third-party lift systems. Verify your lift's model number on the nameplate before ordering to confirm compatibility.
How much height does this extension kit add?
The A2006-57-3 adds exactly 36 inches (3 feet / 914 mm) to each column of your CL10-series lift. Both columns are extended equally using the factory-paired set to maintain symmetrical load distribution and proper lift alignment.
Will installing this extension void my Challenger warranty?
No. When installed correctly according to Challenger's documented procedures, the A2006-57-3 maintains your CL10 lift's structural parts warranty coverage. Column extensions are classified as structural parts and are covered for 5 years. Aftermarket or improvised extensions from other manufacturers will typically void warranty coverage.
Can I install the extension kit myself?
While the kit uses a bolted assembly design, professional installation by a qualified lift technician is strongly recommended. Proper installation is required to maintain warranty coverage, and both columns must be extended simultaneously to ensure synchronized alignment and safe operation.
What ceiling height do I need for this extension?
You will need to add 36 inches (3 feet) to your current CL10 lift column height and verify that the total extended height fits within your service bay ceiling clearance. Measure from the floor to the ceiling above your lift and compare against the extended column height, allowing additional clearance for safe operation and any overhead obstructions such as lighting, ductwork, or sprinkler systems.
Does the extension change the lifting capacity of my CL10 lift?
The A2006-57-3 is an OEM structural component engineered to integrate with the CL10 lift system. Consult Challenger's documentation or contact our equipment specialists to confirm capacity specifications for your specific CL10 model with the extension installed. Always follow Challenger's posted capacity ratings.
What is included in the kit?
The A2006-57-3 includes a factory-paired set of 2 matched column height extensions along with the required mounting hardware and fasteners for installation. The base CL10 lift and installation labor are not included.
How is the A2006-57-3 shipped?
The extension kit ships via freight with free delivery to commercial addresses in the 48 contiguous United States. Typical lead time is 1-3 business days to ship, with transit times of 5-10 business days depending on your location. A forklift or loading dock may be required for unloading. Always inspect packages for damage before signing the bill of lading.
Can I return the extension kit if it does not fit?
Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. The product must be unopened in its original packaging with your receipt. A 20% restocking fee applies, and the buyer is responsible for return freight costs. Verify your lift model compatibility before ordering to avoid returns.
What is the warranty on this extension kit?
As a structural component for CL10-series lifts, the A2006-57-3 is covered under Challenger's warranty: 5 years on structural parts, 2 years on functional parts, and 1 year on labor. Warranty registration must be completed online at challengerlifts.com/register-your-lift. The warranty is valid only for the original purchaser and requires installation per Challenger's specifications.
Why choose the OEM extension over aftermarket alternatives?
The A2006-57-3 is the only extension kit engineered by Challenger specifically for CL10-series lifts. It guarantees exact fitment, preserves your structural warranty, and provides factory-paired columns with synchronized performance. Aftermarket or improvised extensions introduce compatibility risk, may cause uneven load distribution, and typically void your existing Challenger warranty coverage.
Do I need to extend both columns, or can I install just one?
Both column extensions must be installed together. The kit is sold as a factory-matched pair specifically to ensure equal height increase, synchronized alignment, and balanced load distribution on both sides of the lift. Installing a single extension would create dangerous height asymmetry and unsafe operating conditions.
