Internal Air Line Kit for Dual Rolling Jack Operation - Challenger 44AK18

Running air hoses across your shop floor creates tripping hazards and clutters your service bay. The Challenger 44AK18 Internal Air Line Kit solves this by routing compressed air directly through your lift's runway structure to power two rolling jacks simultaneously. Designed specifically for Challenger's 18,000 lb capacity four-post lifts, this kit enables efficient brake, tire, and alignment work on medium-duty vehicles.

Manufactured by Challenger Lifts in Louisville, Kentucky, the 44AK18 fits the 44018, 44018AR, and 44018E lift models. The complete kit includes all necessary hardware and fittings for installation, ensuring compatibility with your existing equipment.

Key Features and Benefits

Internal Air Routing Design - Air lines run through the lift runway structure rather than across your shop floor. This eliminates loose hoses, reduces tripping hazards, and creates a cleaner, more organized service environment.

Dual Rolling Jack Capacity - Supplies compressed air to two rolling jacks at once, enabling simultaneous front and rear wheel service. This supports faster brake, tire, and alignment operations without repositioning equipment or running separate air connections.

OEM Fit for 44018 Series Lifts - Factory-designed specifically for the 44018, 44018AR, and 44018E four-post lifts. Model-specific engineering ensures proper fit with runway geometry and maintains lift warranty compliance.

  • Brake service and inspection on medium-duty vehicles.
  • Tire and wheel service operations requiring front and rear access.
