The Challenger 55-0013 replacement hardware is the direct replacement for the Challenger lift it came off of. Cross-referenced as ALS-7231-31, it is the genuine Challenger part — same part number, same fit, and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the Challenger replacement hardware 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: ALS-7231-31 Brand: Challenger Type: Genuine OEM replacement hardware On lift hardware, fit is the whole job. A pin is not a rod of roughly the right diameter — it is a specific length, a specific fit in its bore, and a specific way of being retained, whether that is an e-clip groove, a cotter key hole, or a shoulder. A bushing is a precise interference in its housing and a precise clearance on its shaft. Manufacturer-spec hardware carries all of those dimensions; the hardware-aisle stand-in carries some of them, and the missing ones become play, wobble, and premature wear. This is a spec-correct replacement for the assembly it belongs to — it goes in the way the original came out, retained the way the original was retained. Related parts for this lift The parts below are commonly ordered alongside this one — cables, sheaves, seals, and hardware wear on similar schedules, and most repairs go faster when the whole set is done in one visit.

The serial matters more than most people expect — lift makers revise components between production runs without renaming the lift, and the run your serial falls in determines which revision of this part is correct. If you are working from a failed part rather than a plate, measure what you have and photograph how it mounts. Send that to us along with the lift brand, and we will check it against the same parts breakdowns our own techs use in the field before you commit to the order. Lay the new piece against the old before installing: length, diameter, groove and hole positions, thread pitch. If the old part is too worn to compare against, check the new part in its bore or against its mate by hand — it should fit the way a machined part fits, snug and smooth, not loose and not forced. Replace the retaining clips and keys while you are there; they are one-use money. Retention is not optional. A pin without its e-clip, cotter key, or bolt is a pin working its way out under vibration, and what it drops depends on where it lives. If the retainer came off damaged, replace it — never spring a used clip back on and call it held.
