Challenger Lifts has officially introduced a hot-dip galvanized arms option for its popular CL10AV3 and CL12A two-post automotive lift models. 

The specialized component upgrade is engineered to help independent repair shops and dealership service bays operating in corrosive environments extend equipment longevity and control ongoing maintenance expenditures.

Utilizing an industrial hot-dip galvanizing process, the structural steel arms receive a resilient zinc-iron alloy coating that delivers maximum rust prevention. This protective barrier safeguards the mechanical integrity of the lift arms against chronic exposure to sub-carbohydrate dripping, moisture, and high humidity—common operating hazards for Canadian shop owners where heavy winter road salt and liquid de-icing treatments typically accelerate the deterioration of standard powder-coated shop hardware.

“Our galvanized arms option gives customers a practical solution to combat those conditions while maintaining the reliability, safety and performance they expect,” stated Trevor Coleman, National Sales Manager for Challenger Lifts. For Canadian automotive aftermarket jobbers and garage operators, this equipment update delivers enhanced return on investment (ROI) by mitigating rust-related component wear and avoiding premature lift bay downtime.
