CHALLENGER LIFTS 10314 Frame Adapters - discontinued - Challenger B2270 is replacement
Frame Engaging Truck Adapters - Challenger 10314 (Set of 2)
Stop Truck Slippage on Your 2-Post Lift
Sprayed undercoatings, bed liner overspray, and oily frames cause traditional rubber pads to slip during lifts. The Challenger 10314 frame adapters solve this problem with a cradle design that makes direct metal-to-frame contact on pickup trucks and SUVs. This set of 2 drop-in adapters fits all Challenger 2-post lifts from 10K to 18K capacity.
Manufactured by Challenger Lifts in Louisville, Kentucky, these frame engaging truck adapters are designed specifically for body-on-frame vehicles where standard round pads fail to grip securely. The U-channel captures rectangular truck frames and eliminates lateral movement risk during service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Challenger lifts are compatible with the 10314 frame adapters?
The 10314 adapters fit all Challenger above-ground 2-post lifts with 10K, 12K, 15K, and 18K capacity ratings. For 15K and 18K capacity lifts, you must also purchase and install the reducer bushing kit part number 10317 for proper fit. These adapters work with Challenger's E10, E12, CL10, and CL12 series lifts among other compatible models.
What is the difference between the 10314 and 10318?
The 10314 is sold as a set of 2 frame adapters, while the 10318 is a complete set of 4 adapters. Most technicians use 2 adapters at the front frame points where rails converge and standard screw pads at the rear lifting positions. The 10314 pair is the right choice for typical truck and SUV service applications.
How do you install the 10314 frame adapters?
Installation is completely tool-free and takes just seconds. Remove your standard double telescoping screw pad from the lift arm, insert the frame adapter into the arm hole, then replace the screw pad to adjust height and reach your vehicle lifting points. The drop-in design allows quick swaps between different service jobs throughout the day.
Why use frame adapters instead of standard rubber pads?
Standard rubber pads can slip dangerously on vehicles with sprayed undercoatings, painted frames, or bed liner overspray. The 10314 cradle design makes direct metal-to-frame contact with its U-channel shape, completely eliminating lateral movement and providing secure, stable contact on body-on-frame trucks and full-size SUVs.
What is the warranty on Challenger 10314 adapters?
Challenger provides a 90-day limited warranty against defective materials and workmanship for the original purchaser only. Warranty coverage requires product registration at challengerlifts.com. Coverage specifically excludes normal wear and tear, product modification, misuse, improper maintenance, or use beyond rated capacity.
