Challenger Lift CL12-2-WK12 - 12-Inch Widening Kit for CL12 and CL12-2 2-Post Lifts
You bought your Challenger lift to handle the work that comes through your doors. Now a dually rolls in, or a work truck with tow mirrors that stick out past the columns, and suddenly you've got a clearance problem. The CL12-2-WK12 widening kit solves that. It adds 12 inches to the column-to-column spacing on your CL12 or CL12-2, giving you the clear span you need to keep those vehicles moving through your bay.
This is a structural modification to the lift's overhead beam - not an adapter, not a workaround. You're actually widening the lift itself. That matters because you keep the same load ratings and the same safety engineering that made challenger lifts worth buying in the first place. You're not compromising the machine to fit a bigger vehicle. You're properly configuring it.
If you're running a shop that services fleet trucks, dual-wheel pickups, commercial vehicles with aftermarket accessories, or anything else that's just too broad for the stock column gap, this kit is the right fix. It ships free to the lower 48, and challenger lift parts like this are the kind of investment that pays back every time a vehicle you couldn't lift before rolls right up between the columns without a second thought.

Installation & Setup
This kit modifies the structural overhead beam of the lift - it's not a plug-and-play accessory. Proper installation is critical. Incorrect assembly affects the load rating and safety of the entire lift, so this work needs to be done by a qualified installer who understands 2-post lift geometry and Challenger's installation specifications.
Before you start, pull the installation and maintenance documentation that came with your CL12 or CL12-2. The widening process follows those structural guidelines. If your lift was installed by a dealer or service tech, it's worth having that same resource handle the modification - you want someone who knows the machine.
Questions about whether your specific CL12 configuration is compatible, or what the installation involves for your bay setup? Call us before ordering - we'd rather answer those questions upfront than have you sort it out mid-install.
Applications
Dually pickups and cab-chassis trucks with rear dual wheels often exceed standard column spacing. The extra 12 inches gets them in cleanly without mirror contact or column clearance issues.
Work trucks and SUVs running extended towing mirrors can clip standard column gaps. Widening the lift removes that interference entirely so you're not folding mirrors just to get the vehicle positioned.
Fleet maintenance shops servicing vans, service trucks, and commercial vehicles with utility bodies or aftermarket accessories benefit from the additional column clearance on every lift cycle.
Vehicles with aftermarket body kits, fender flares, running boards, or other accessories that extend past the factory body line fit more easily when the lift has the additional column-to-column span.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which lifts is the CL12-2-WK12 compatible with?
This widening kit is designed specifically for the Challenger CL12 and CL12-2 two-post lifts. It is not a universal kit and is not confirmed compatible with other Challenger models or lifts from other manufacturers. If you're unsure whether your lift qualifies, call us at (855) 498-2147 before ordering.
How much wider does this kit make my lift?
The CL12-2-WK12 adds 12 inches to the column-to-column spacing on your CL12 or CL12-2. That additional clearance is built into the structural overhead beam of the lift via the components included in this kit.
Does widening the lift affect its load capacity?
This kit is a structural modification that follows Challenger's engineering specifications for the CL12 and CL12-2. As long as it's installed correctly per Challenger's installation and maintenance guidelines, the lift's rated capacity is maintained. Improper installation can affect load ratings and safety, which is why professional installation by a qualified technician is critical.
Can I install this kit myself?
This is a structural modification to the lift's overhead beam - it's not a simple accessory swap. Challenger's warranty and safety guidelines require that the lift be installed, used, and maintained according to their specifications. We strongly recommend having a qualified lift installer or Challenger authorized service rep handle this modification. Improper installation also voids the warranty.
Will this kit void my lift warranty?
Using this kit as intended - installed correctly per Challenger's specifications - should not void your warranty. However, use of unapproved parts or accessories will void the Challenger warranty. Repairs made by anyone other than a Challenger authorized service representative are also not covered. If you have questions about your specific situation, call us at (855) 498-2147 and we can help clarify before you proceed.
Does this ship free?
Yes - the CL12-2-WK12 ships free to addresses in the lower 48 states. If you need specific delivery options like a scheduled window, liftgate service, or residential delivery, contact us before ordering at (855) 498-2147 so we can confirm setup and any applicable accessorial charges.
What types of vehicles need the extra 12 inches of column spacing?
The most common candidates are dual-wheel pickup trucks and cab-chassis vehicles, work trucks or SUVs with extended towing mirrors, commercial vehicles with utility bodies or aftermarket accessories, and wide-body vehicles with fender flares or running boards that push past the factory body line. If your vehicle sits at or beyond the standard column gap of the CL12, this kit provides the clearance needed to lift it safely.
What's included with the widening kit?
The kit includes the structural components needed to modify the overhead beam plus all necessary hardware for the widening installation. For a complete confirmed accessory list specific to your order, call us at (855) 498-2147 before purchasing.
