This performance upgrade represents a significant improvement over standard completion kit cycle times of 38 seconds, enabling technicians to move vehicles in and out of service position faster throughout the workday. In high-volume service environments, cumulative time savings from faster lift cycles directly impact daily vehicle throughput.
8.5-Inch Chrome Pistons for Long-Term Durability
The completion kit features 8.5-inch chrome pistons engineered for durability and stability under continuous commercial use. Chrome plating provides corrosion resistance and reduces friction during operation, extending service life and maintaining consistent lifting performance. The hardened, wear-resistant surface maintains seal integrity and hydraulic efficiency even in demanding environments with temperature variations, moisture, and contaminants.
Bench Mounted Controls for Technician Efficiency
The EV1020CK-QC includes Bench Mounted Controls (BMC) that position lift operation controls at an ergonomic workstation height. This placement allows technicians to operate the lift without bending or reaching to floor-level controls, reducing physical strain during repetitive lift cycles. Technicians can raise, lower, and lock the lift while staying positioned near their work, maintaining focus on the service task and improving overall bay efficiency.
3HP Single-Phase Power Unit
The kit ships with a complete 3HP, 208-230V, single-phase, 60Hz power unit designed for reliable commercial operation. The power unit delivers consistent hydraulic pressure up to 2,550 PSI at full capacity, ensuring smooth lifting performance across the entire 10,000 lb capacity range. Single-phase electrical requirements simplify installation in most commercial service facilities without requiring three-phase power infrastructure.
Fully Contained Environmental Design
All Challenger inground lifts feature fully contained cassette construction that eliminates any risk of environmental impact from hydraulic fluid. The containment tub captures any potential leaks, protecting your facility's foundation and eliminating groundwater contamination concerns. This design meets environmental compliance requirements and simplifies facility permitting for new installations.
