Challenger Inground Lift Upper Components - EV1220-UC
When the above-ground assembly on your Challenger inground lift wears out or takes damage, you don't pull the whole unit. You source the Challenger inground lift upper components that match your carriage and get back to work. The EV1220-UC is that assembly - the complete above-ground structure for the EV1220, covering the arms, hardware, and everything your carriage needs to handle vehicles up to 12,000 lb at the same standard the original lift was built to.
Three-stage front and rear arms give you reach from 19.625" out to 42.125", covering a wide range of vehicle wheelbases without adapter hunting. The 87" drive-thru clearance keeps your workflow moving - vehicles come in and out without repositioning. Rise height is 74", and the screw pad adjusts between 3.875" and 6" to get the right contact point regardless of what's on your rack.
ALI/ETL certified and ready to restore your lift to full working spec. If you're sourcing challenger lift parts and need the upper assembly specifically, call us before you buy - we'd rather help you confirm fitment than process a return on the wrong part. Genuine Challenger Lifts parts, free shipping to the lower 48.

What's Included
This listing covers the upper component assembly for the Challenger inground lift system - the above-ground mechanical structure that mounts to the existing inground carriage. The assembly is designed to restore your lift to full working capacity and typically includes the arm assemblies, screw pads, and associated mounting hardware. Because exact included components can vary by configuration and order type, contact us before purchasing to confirm what ships with your specific order.

Challenger Lift Installation & Setup
This upper component assembly connects to an existing inground carriage and requires a dedicated 208-230V, 60Hz, single-phase electrical circuit rated for the 2 HP motor. This is not a plug-in unit - a licensed electrician should handle the electrical connection if your shop doesn't already have the correct circuit at the bay.
These components are a direct replacement or upgrade for an existing installation. If you're adding this to a new pit build, complete the pit work and inspection before installing the upper assembly. Challenger Lifts, Inc. installations should follow CLI's published procedures - deviating from those specifications can affect warranty coverage.
Challenger Auto Lift Applications
When your carriage is intact but the upper assembly has worn or failed, these challenger lift parts restore the system to full 12,000 lb capacity without pulling the entire inground unit. It's the targeted fix that keeps your pit bay productive.
A 38-second rise time and 87" drive-thru clearance keep throughput high in production shops. When a lift bay is down, every minute costs. Getting the right challenger auto lift parts on hand fast is how you minimize that loss.
12,000 lb capacity with 3-stage arms reaching out to 42.125" handles the wider wheelbases and heavier curb weights common in modern truck and SUV service work without needing additional adapters on most vehicles.
74" of rise height puts you in a comfortable working position for suspension, exhaust, and drivetrain service. No crouching, no awkward angles - just clean access to whatever's underneath.
