Challenger 12K Wide Inground Lift #EW12-BMC-QC

Challenger EW12-BMC-QC

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-BMC-QC 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.

This configuration adds Bench-Mount Controls (BMC): the lift controls are mounted inside a workbench (by button or lever) instead of a stand-alone console.

This configuration includes the QuickCycle™ (QC) upgrade, which decreases rise and descent time; Challenger has not published an exact rated speed for this configuration.

Who the EW12-BMC-QC Is Built For

• Shops that need service-bay floor space back — the EW12-BMC-QC'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 that want a cleaner bay and easier technician operation — Bench-Mount Controls put the lift controls inside a workbench instead of a stand-alone console, for a cleaner aesthetic and more comfortable day-to-day use.
• High-volume bays where seconds per cycle add up — the QuickCycle upgrade meaningfully cuts rise and descent time versus the standard-speed unit, which pays back fastest in a high-throughput shop.

What the EW12-BMC-QC 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'd rather keep a simple stand-alone console -- BMC adds workbench-mount hardware you may not need.
