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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n  \u003csection id=\"specifications\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003ctable class=\"gsg-spec-table\"\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eCL12-2-WK12\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eChallenger Lifts\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eWidth Added\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003e12 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eCompatible Lifts\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eChallenger CL12, Challenger CL12-2\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eKit Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eStructural overhead beam widening kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/table\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n  \u003csection id=\"whats-included\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cul class=\"gsg-included-list\"\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eStructural widening components for overhead beam\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eAll necessary hardware for widening installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size: 0.9em; color: var(--text-light);\"\u003eCall to confirm complete accessory list before ordering: \u003cstrong\u003e(855) 498-2147\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n  \u003csection id=\"installation\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis kit modifies the structural overhead beam of the lift - it's not a plug-and-play accessory.
