Challenger CL10-EH2 – 2-Foot Height Extension for CL10 Series Lifts
The Challenger CL10-EH2 (OEM part A2006-57-2) is a 24-inch column height extension kit designed specifically for Challenger CL10 Series 2-post automotive lifts. This bolt-on extension increases your lift's structural height, enabling safe service of taller vehicles like vans, high-roof SUVs, and trucks without replacing the base lift.
Key Features & Benefits
24-Inch Structural Extension for Overhead Clearance
The CL10-EH2 adds 24 inches (2 feet / 610 mm) of column height to the existing CL10 or CL10V3 lift frame through matched steel extension sections that bolt directly onto both lift columns. This engineered extension maintains the lift's original alignment, synchronization, and load-bearing characteristics while providing the additional clearance required for taller vehicles.
Professional service facilities encounter overhead height limitations when lifting vans with extended roof lines, full-size SUVs, or pickup trucks with specialized equipment mounted on the roof. This addresses the common industry challenge where existing 2-post lift systems prove inadequate for taller vehicle classes without facility modification or lift replacement.
This enables expanded service capability within existing shop footprint, allowing technicians to safely service taller vehicles on your current CL10 lift platform. The 24-inch increase accommodates most van and high-roof SUV applications while maintaining the base lift's operating characteristics and warranty coverage.
Matched Pair Column Extensions with Synchronized Design
The kit includes a matched pair of extension sections—one for each lift column—engineered to identical specifications to maintain proper synchronization and alignment. Each extension bolts securely to the existing column using installation hardware, ensuring both sides rise and lower uniformly during operation. The paired design eliminates height differential risks that can occur with generic or mismatched extensions.
Synchronization is critical for 2-post lift safety and smooth operation. Asymmetrical column heights create binding risks, uneven load distribution, and potential arm misalignment during service. Matched extensions address this industry requirement by delivering engineered-pair configuration that preserves the lift's original dual-column synchronization mechanism.
This ensures safe, balanced lifting across the entire extended height range. Technicians experience smooth, predictable operation without the operational instability that can result from height mismatches between columns, maintaining full vehicle stability during service work.
New Length Lift Cables Included for Proper Operation
The extension kit includes new length lift cables matched to the extended column configuration, ensuring proper cable tension, smooth raising and lowering action, and consistent load distribution throughout the extended lift range. Attempting to reuse original-length cables on extended columns creates cable slack, synchronization failures, and unsafe operational characteristics.
Cable length directly impacts lift synchronization and safety. When columns extend 24 inches without cable adjustment, the mechanical advantage changes, resulting in uneven rise, potential column binding, and loss of synchronized operation. OEM-matched cables address this critical safety requirement by providing proper tension and engagement across the extended lift range.
This eliminates the need to source and purchase separate cable replacements, keeping installation straightforward and reducing total project cost. Proper cable length ensures the extended lift operates identically to the original, maintaining smooth single-arm control and eliminating the operational drift that occurs with inadequate cable length.
OEM-Engineered Fitment Preserves Warranty Coverage
The CL10-EH2 carries OEM status as part A2006-57-2, engineered specifically for the CL10 and CL10V3 series to integrate seamlessly with the lift's original structure. This certified component design ensures installations that follow manufacturer requirements maintain full warranty coverage, whereas generic or non-certified extensions may void coverage or create liability exposure.
Warranty claims on 2-post lifts often hinge on using manufacturer-approved components and installation methods. Professional repair shops and fleet facilities depend on warranty coverage for equipment reliability over multi-year service cycles. OEM-engineered extensions provide certainty that proper installation preserves existing lift warranties and protects against future coverage disputes.
This delivers peace of mind for shop owners and facility managers managing equipment investments. Using the OEM extension supports warranty registration and claim eligibility, whereas aftermarket alternatives may trigger coverage exclusions or require expensive warranty reinstatement, directly protecting your equipment investment.
