Challenger EV1020CK Completion Kit for 10,000 lb Inground Cassette Lift Systems
The Challenger EV1020CK Completion Kit delivers the essential hydraulic and mechanical components needed to activate your EV1020 inground lift system. This kit includes 8.5" chrome pistons, a complete power unit with 2HP, 208-230V single-phase motor, and all necessary hardware for professional-grade installation. Designed as part of Challenger's modular EV series architecture, the EV1020CK works in conjunction with the CSPK Pre-Kit and EV1020SS Superstructure to create an ALI/ETL certified cassette-style inground lift rated for 10,000 lb capacity.
Challenger EV1020CK Features
OEM-Engineered Component Compatibility
The EV1020CK is factory-engineered specifically for the Challenger EV1020 lift system, ensuring precise hydraulic integration and mechanical alignment. Every component is manufactured to Challenger's exact specifications, delivering the tolerances required for reliable 10,000 lb capacity operation. This eliminates compatibility issues that often occur with generic or aftermarket hydraulic kits, providing seamless integration with the Pre-Kit tub structure and Superstructure arm assembly.
8.5" Chrome Piston Assembly
The kit includes 8.5" chrome pistons that form the core lifting mechanism for the EV1020 system. Chrome plating provides superior corrosion resistance and reduces friction during the lift cycle, extending service life in high-use commercial environments. This enables extended maintenance intervals and consistent lift performance across thousands of cycles, reducing total cost of ownership for busy service facilities.
Integrated Power Unit
The EV1020CK includes a complete power unit featuring a 2HP motor rated for 208-230V single-phase electrical service. This self-contained hydraulic power system provides the pressure and flow characteristics engineered specifically for EV1020 lift operation, eliminating specification mismatches that can affect lift speed, holding capacity, and long-term reliability.
Modular System Architecture
The EV1020CK is one of three required modules in Challenger's EV series inground lift system. Combined with the CSPK Pre-Kit (tub and frame) and EV1020SS Superstructure (arms and pads), this modular approach enables flexible installation scheduling and targeted component replacement. Facilities can stage concrete work with the Pre-Kit, then add operational components later when the bay is ready for service.
Quick Cycle (QC) Variant Compatibility
The standard EV1020CK is compatible with Challenger's Quick Cycle configurations, supporting faster operational speeds without requiring separate piston assemblies or modified hydraulic components. This enables facilities to transition to faster lift cycles as throughput demands increase, without needing to source and install entirely new hydraulic components.
ALI/ETL Certified System
When combined with the CSPK Pre-Kit and EV1020SS Superstructure, the complete EV1020 system meets ALI/ETL certification standards. This certification ensures the lift system has been tested and validated to meet industry safety and performance requirements, providing confidence for professional service environments where equipment safety is paramount.

Challenger EV1020CK FAQ
What is the lifting capacity of the EV1020 system?
The complete Challenger EV1020 inground lift system has a rated capacity of 10,000 lb when the EV1020CK Completion Kit is combined with the CSPK Pre-Kit and EV1020SS Superstructure. The system is ALI/ETL certified at this capacity rating.
What other components do I need to complete the EV1020 lift system?
The EV1020CK Completion Kit requires two additional components to create a complete, operational lift: the CSPK Pre-Kit (which includes the tub and frame for concrete installation) and the EV1020SS Superstructure (which includes the arms and lifting pads). All three components are sold separately to allow for flexible installation scheduling.
What are the electrical requirements for the EV1020CK?
The EV1020CK power unit requires 208-230V single-phase electrical service for the 2HP motor. A licensed electrician should install and verify the electrical supply meets manufacturer specifications and local codes. Additionally, 90-120 psi compressed air is required for the mechanical lock release function.
Can I install the EV1020CK myself?
While the EV1020CK can technically be installed by qualified individuals, professional installation by a certified lift technician is strongly recommended. Professional installation ensures proper system operation, validates warranty coverage, and maintains ALI/ETL certification compliance. Contact Garage Supply Guys for installer recommendations in your area.
What warranty coverage comes with the EV1020CK?
Challenger Lifts provides comprehensive warranty coverage: 5 years on structural components, 2 years on hydraulic cylinders and mechanical components, and 1 year on the power unit and electrical components. Warranty coverage requires installation per manufacturer specifications and routine maintenance per the operation manual.
What is included in the EV1020CK Completion Kit?
The EV1020CK includes 8.5" chrome piston assemblies, a complete power unit with 2HP 208-230V single-phase motor, hydraulic components and fittings, installation hardware, and the installation/operation manual. The Pre-Kit, Superstructure, electrical wiring, and installation labor are not included.
How is the EV1020CK shipped and delivered?
The EV1020CK ships via freight carrier with free shipping to commercial addresses in the 48 contiguous United States. Lead time is typically 5-10 business days. A forklift or loading dock is required for unloading. Curbside delivery is standard, with liftgate service available for an additional fee.
What is the Quick Cycle (QC) variant compatibility?
The EV1020CK is compatible with Challenger's Quick Cycle configurations, which provide faster lift speeds for increased shop throughput. The same Completion Kit works with both standard and QC variants, so you can upgrade to faster operation without purchasing separate hydraulic components.
Why are the pistons chrome plated?
The 8.5" chrome pistons provide superior corrosion resistance and reduced friction during the lift cycle compared to standard pistons. This extends service life in high-use commercial environments, enables extended maintenance intervals, and delivers consistent lift performance across thousands of cycles.
Can the EV1020CK be used to replace components on an existing EV1020 lift?
Yes, the EV1020CK is designed for both new installations and component replacement on existing EV1020 lift systems. If your current EV1020 has aging or damaged hydraulic assemblies, the Completion Kit provides OEM replacement components to restore original performance and extend system life.
What is the advantage of the modular system design?
The modular EV series architecture allows facilities to stage installations around their schedule. You can install the Pre-Kit during concrete work, then add the Completion Kit and Superstructure when the bay is ready for service. This also enables targeted component replacement without disturbing the entire lift system, extending the serviceable life of the overall installation.
Is the EV1020 system ALI/ETL certified?
Yes, the complete EV1020 system is ALI/ETL certified when the EV1020CK Completion Kit is properly installed with the CSPK Pre-Kit and EV1020SS Superstructure. This certification indicates the lift has been tested and validated to meet industry safety and performance requirements established by the Automotive Lift Institute.
