Description
Challenger Air Lock Release Cylinder Actuator – Part Number 37026
The air lock release cylinder actuator is a small pneumatic cylinder that pulls the safety lock pawls open in each column of Challenger 2-post lifts equipped with an air-operated lock system. Replace this actuator when the cylinder is leaking, fails to extend, or the safety locks will not release. Before ordering, inspect the existing air fitting and end yoke – these components can often be reused, reducing overall repair cost. This listing is for the air actuator only. For the control valve that supplies pressure to the cylinder, see related products.
