The Challenger 31057 replacement part is the direct replacement for the Challenger lift it came off of. This is the genuine Challenger part — same fit and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the Challenger replacement part from us gets you the OEM piece that matches the lift, not an aftermarket knock-off that is close but not the same. Specifications Part number: 31057 Brand: Challenger Type: Genuine OEM replacement part Automotive lifts are supposed to be inspected annually, and inspectors work from a list: locks, cables, sheaves, hydraulics, arm restraints, decals, and the general condition of every load-bearing part. A part in the condition that put this page in front of you is exactly the kind of line item that turns an inspection into a to-do list. The shops that pass clean are not the ones with new lifts — they are the ones that replace worn parts when they find them instead of when the inspection report forces the issue. Fixing it now costs the part; fixing it after a failed inspection costs the part plus the downtime while the bay sits red-tagged. Check your lift's serial before ordering The most common reason a lift part comes back is not a defect — it is a revision mismatch. Manufacturers change sub-parts between production runs while keeping the same lift model name, so "it fits my lift model" is not always enough. The model plate carries the serial number that pins your lift to a specific run, and that is the number that settles which version of this part belongs on your lift. Can't find the plate? Measure the old part — overall length, bolt-hole spacing, thread size on anything threaded — and photograph it from a couple of angles. Send that with your lift's brand and rough age and we will match it against the parts breakdowns we service from every week. Think like the inspector while you are in there: do the locks engage on every column, do the cables show fraying or cording, do the sheaves spin without wobble, does anything weep hydraulic fluid, and are the capacity and safety decals still legible? Each one is a five-second check, and together they are most of the annual inspection done early, on your schedule instead of the inspector’s. If a lift is in bad enough shape that using it could hurt someone, the right move is taking it out of service at the breaker until it is repaired — not finishing the week on it. No job in the schedule is worth running a lift you already know is unsafe. Why buy your Challenger replacement part from Auto Lift Services We install, inspect, and repair Challenger lifts every week — the 31057 is a part we handle in the shop, not a random SKU we drop-ship. The phone answers if you have a question mid-install — call 800-674-9302. We confirm the right part for your lift's serial and production year before you order. Every part ships as genuine Challenger — no aftermarket substitution unless you specifically ask for an aftermarket equivalent. If you also need companion wear items — cables, sheaves, seals, hardware — for the same repair, use our parts lookup and we will build the whole kit for your lift so you order once and finish the job.
