Challenger 12K Heavy-Duty Inground Lift #EV1220

Challenger EV1220

Floor-mounted lift posts eat into a service bay every single day you own them, and a heavier fleet lift's footprint costs even more of that floor space. The Challenger EV1220 is an electric-hydraulic, cassette-style heavy-duty inground lift built to solve exactly that. True 3-stage front and rear arms reach a wider range of lift points on larger, heavier vehicles.

The fully-contained, sealed cassette tub eliminates the risk of hydraulic fluid seeping into the ground, and heavy-duty polyurethane screw pads accommodate a wide range of recommended lifting points.

Who the EV1220 Is Built For

• Shops that need service-bay floor space back — the EV1220's cassette sits below grade, so the bay floor is clear whenever the lift is down -- no post footprint eating into walkway or parking space.
• Shops that need to reach a wide range of lift points — 3-stage front and rear arms sweep a broad spotting range so one lift configuration covers more of your vehicle mix.
• Buyers who value a sealed, contained lift mechanism — the fully-contained cassette tub eliminates the risk of hydraulic fluid seeping into the ground -- a real environmental and inspection concern with older inground designs.
• Shops fine with a stand-alone control console — if you don't need the bench-mounted option, the standard console keeps the purchase simpler -- BMC is available on this same family if you change your mind later.
• Shops that don't need the fastest possible cycle time — standard-speed rise/descent keeps the purchase price down -- QuickCycle is available on this same family if cycle time becomes the bottleneck later.

What the EV1220 Is NOT Built For

• You want a surface-mounted lift with no excavation or concrete work -- an inground lift is a bigger construction project than a 2-post or 4-post, not a drop-in replacement.
• Your heaviest vehicle exceeds this model's rated capacity -- capacity is not a number to round up.
• You regularly need to pull EV battery packs or service extra-wide vehicles -- look at the wide-clearance EW version in the same capacity class instead.
• You don't have shop air available -- this lift's lock release requires 90-120 psi air supply.
• You specifically want Bench-Mount Controls out of the box -- order the -BMC configuration of this same model instead.
