Flip up adapters on a Challenger lift

[tstaude]

I am picking up a really nice challenger SA10 this coming weekend. A few of my friends have them and I really like these lifts.

However a big one-up that Rotary has is the flip up adapters, my Snap On lift has flip up adapters and I really like them.

Has anyone added flip up adapters to a Challenger lift? I know the Rotary ones are available, just not sure if they would fit, don't know if the arm thickness is different. A lot of the kits have two different pins for different thicknesses.

Sorry i can't answer your flip up adapter question. We use the screw in or slip on height adapters. I do want to add a comment about your friends liking them. When i was 22 i bought 2 challenger 2 plus 9000 lb 2 post lifts. One regular arm, one asymmetric. These things have been used 5 to 6 days a week sometimes 10 to 15 vehicles a day lifted. I leased the bays out for 5 years the lifts were in, and were not well taken care of then. I almost gave them away when i moved my garage business to my airport. We took them with us and in use daily. Had them inspected and both passed with flying colors. Only parts change were the little cables that pull safety locks out. The guys inspecting them do not sell that brand but raved about them. To me rotary and others look way ruggeder, these old challengers look like stamped steel. They have passed the test of time. I am 60 now, 38 years of heavy abuse and still lifting.
