Challenger 12K Wide Inground Lift #EW12

Challenger EW12

A standard inground cassette's bolster blocks exactly the space a technician needs to lower an EV battery pack or clear some of the widest vehicles on the road today. The Challenger EW12 is an electric-hydraulic, extra-wide inground lift built to solve exactly that.

True 3-stage front and rear arms and double-telescoping screw pads come standard, and the design supports battery-lowering out of electric vehicles without losing the function of a conventional inground cassette.

Who the EW12 Is Built For

• Shops that need service-bay floor space back — the EW12'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 servicing wide-bodied trucks, EVs, or exotics — 88" of drive-thru clearance is built for pulling EV battery packs and clearing wide-track vehicles that a standard-width inground cassette can't.
• 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 EW12 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 don't need the extra drive-thru clearance -- the standard-width EV version in the same capacity class is a simpler, less expensive choice.
• 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.
