Challenger EV1220-CK-BMC-QC Completion Kit for EV1220 Inground Lift with Bench Mount Controls and Quick Cycle
The Challenger EV1220-CK-BMC-QC is a completion kit that delivers the hydraulic, power, and control components needed to finish an EV1220 inground lift installation. This kit includes 8.5" chrome pistons, a 3HP Quick Cycle power unit, and Bench Mount Controls (BMC) with raise, lower, and lock release functions. Designed for 208-230V, 60Hz, single-phase power, the Quick Cycle motor delivers faster rise and lower times than the standard 2HP configuration, while the bench-mounted control station provides ergonomic operation from a fixed workbench location. This kit is compatible exclusively with the Challenger EV1220 12,000 lb inground lift platform and requires a separately purchased pre-kit and superstructure to complete a fully operational lift system.
Challenger EV1220-CK-BMC-QC Completion Kit Features
Quick Cycle 3HP Power Unit
The completion kit includes a 3HP Quick Cycle power unit that delivers faster rise and lower times compared to the standard 2HP EV1220 configuration. The Quick Cycle system is engineered for high-volume service environments where minimizing vehicle transition time directly impacts daily throughput and revenue potential.
Bench Mount Controls with Full Function
The included Bench Mount Controls (BMC) provide a permanent control station with raise, lower, and lock release functions accessible from a fixed workbench or designated location. This upgraded control configuration eliminates the need to walk to the lift column for each operation, improving technician efficiency compared to the standard wall-mounted controls included with non-BMC kits.
8.5" Chrome Pistons for 12,000 lb Capacity
The kit includes 8.5" diameter chrome pistons that deliver the hydraulic force for the EV1220's full 12,000 lb lifting capacity. The chrome non-breathing ram-style cylinder construction resists corrosion from salt and moisture exposure, extending service life in demanding shop environments. The larger bore diameter provides greater stability under load compared to smaller piston designs.
Enhanced Bearing and Wiper System
The completion kit components integrate with the EV1220's bearing system, which features over 50% more bearing contact surface than competitive inground lifts. Enhanced raised wipers at top and bottom of each bearing improve grease retention and minimize contaminant intrusion, supporting quarterly greasing intervals compared to the monthly maintenance required by competing designs.
Complete Hardware Package
A comprehensive hardware box is included with all nuts, bolts, fittings, and fasteners required for installation. This factory-matched hardware package ensures proper fit and torque specifications for all connections between the completion kit components and the existing pre-kit foundation, eliminating aftermarket hardware sourcing.

Challenger EV1220-CK-BMC-QC Completion Kit FAQ
What is a completion kit and why would I need one?
A completion kit provides the hydraulic, power, and control components that bridge the gap between your installed pre-kit foundation and the superstructure. If you are building a new EV1220 installation in phases, replacing worn hydraulic components in an existing lift, or upgrading from standard controls to bench mount controls with Quick Cycle, the completion kit delivers the specific components needed without purchasing a complete lift assembly.
What lift system is this completion kit compatible with?
The EV1220-CK-BMC-QC is engineered exclusively for the Challenger EV1220 12,000 lb inground cassette-style lift system. It is not compatible with other Challenger lift models such as the EV1020, EV1520, or EW Series, and it will not fit competing manufacturers' inground lift platforms. Confirm your existing pre-kit model before ordering.
What components are included in this completion kit?
The kit includes 8.5" diameter chrome-plated pistons, chrome non-breathing ram-style cylinders, a 3HP Quick Cycle power unit assembly, Bench Mount Controls (BMC) with raise, lower, and lock release functions, enhanced raised wipers, and a complete hardware box with all nuts, bolts, fittings, and fasteners required for installation. Pre-kit foundation and superstructure are not included.
What other components do I need to complete a full EV1220 lift?
A complete EV1220 inground lift requires three component groups: the pre-kit foundation (CSPK-series cassette pit assembly providing the below-grade sealed polymer tub and frame), this completion kit (pistons, power unit, controls, and hardware), and the EV1220SS superstructure (3-stage front and rear arms, screw-type extensions, and frame engaging adapters). All three are required for a fully operational 12,000 lb lift system.
What is the difference between BMC and standard wall-mounted controls?
Bench Mount Controls (BMC) provide a permanent control station that mounts at a workbench or designated location, offering raise, lower, and lock release functions from a fixed ergonomic position. Standard wall-mounted controls mount near the lift column and feature a single push-button lift function with a down release valve handle. BMC improves operator efficiency in high-volume environments by centralizing lift control at the work area.
What does Quick Cycle mean?
Quick Cycle refers to the upgraded 3HP motor that delivers faster rise and lower times compared to the standard 2HP EV1220 motor. The standard model has a 60-second rise time while the Quick Cycle configuration reduces this substantially. Quick Cycle is recommended for high-volume service environments where faster lift transitions directly impact daily throughput and technician productivity.
What electrical power does this kit require?
The Quick Cycle power unit requires 208-230V, 60Hz, single-phase electrical service with a dedicated 3HP motor circuit. A licensed electrician must install and verify the electrical supply meets all local codes and Challenger specifications before the power unit is connected and energized.
Is compressed air required?
Yes, the EV1220 system requires compressed air at 90-120 PSI for the mechanical lock release mechanism. Ensure your shop air system can provide adequate pressure and volume for consistent lock release operation during normal service use.
Is professional installation required?
Yes, professional installation by qualified lift technicians familiar with inground lift systems is required. The completion kit involves hydraulic connections, electrical wiring, and control system integration that must follow Challenger's specified torque values and procedures for safe operation. Improper installation can void warranty coverage and create safety hazards.
What warranty coverage does this kit include?
Challenger provides a 5-year warranty on structural components, 2-year warranty on functional parts (power units, cylinders, hoses, controls), and 1-year warranty on electrical components. An optional extended warranty adding 3 years of functional parts coverage is available within 30 days of purchase. Warranty registration must be completed within 30 days of installation.
How does this kit differ from the EV12CK (standard) and EV12CK-BMC?
The standard EV12CK includes 8.5" chrome pistons, a 2HP power unit, standard wall-mounted controls, and hardware. The EV12CK-BMC adds Bench Mount Controls while retaining the 2HP motor. This EV1220-CK-BMC-QC combines both upgrades: the 3HP Quick Cycle motor for faster lift cycles and Bench Mount Controls for ergonomic operation, representing the highest-performance completion kit configuration available for the EV1220 platform.
