Key Features & Benefits

10-Piece Screw-Type Extension System

The EV1220SS includes 10 screw-type extension pieces organized into three height categories: 4 adjustable standard extensions, 4 medium extensions, and 2 high extensions. This multi-height design provides technicians with granular control over lifting positions and clearance heights for different service operations.

Single-height or limited extension kits restrict flexibility when servicing diverse vehicle types and suspension configurations. Multi-height extension systems address this challenge by enabling precise positioning from conservative heights for compact vehicles to extended reach for taller SUVs and commercial vehicles. The three-tier structure supports 10-15 different lift position combinations.

This flexibility improves workshop efficiency by eliminating the need for multiple accessory kits. One EV1220SS superstructure kit accommodates low-profile cars, standard sedans, trucks, and SUVs without purchasing additional height adapters or extension kits.

4 Frame Engaging Adapters for Pickup Point Flexibility

The kit includes 4 frame engaging adapters designed to accommodate different vehicle frame geometries and pickup point locations. These adapters enable secure load transfer across diverse suspension designs, from unibody construction to boxed frame trucks and commercial vehicles.

Fixed or limited adapter designs struggle to accommodate the 20-30 different frame geometries encountered across typical shop vehicle populations. Frame engaging adapters address this challenge by providing multiple contact surfaces and engagement profiles to match specific vehicle pickup requirements without slippage or misalignment during lifting.

This ensures safe, precise lifting across a wide range of vehicle types on your EV1220 inground lift. The 4 adapters provide coverage for passenger vehicles, light trucks, SUVs, and commercial vehicles serviced in professional repair shops operating on EV1220 systems.

Designed for EV1220 12,000 lb Inground Lift Integration

The EV1220SS is engineered specifically for the Challenger EV1220 12,000 lb capacity inground lift, ensuring direct compatibility with runway geometry, hydraulic lift points, and mounting specifications unique to the EV series inground platform. The superstructure components are rated for 12,000 lb total lift capacity distributed across multiple extension configurations.

Non-OEM or generic extension kits introduce compatibility unknowns and create potential safety concerns during lifting operations on permanent inground lift installations. Purpose-engineered superstructure kits ensure precise fit with lift hydraulic columns, runway rails, and safety systems designed for integrated operation on certified EV1220 platforms.

This ensures predictable performance and maintains safety certification on your EV1220 inground lift system. The EV1220SS integrates seamlessly with your 12,000 lb lift infrastructure without modifications or adapters.

Adjustable Screw-Type Extension Design for Precise Height Control

The standard extensions in the kit feature adjustable screw-type design enabling fine-tuned height positioning across a wide range of lift configurations. Manual screw adjustment provides technicians with precise vertical control to match specific vehicle requirements, service procedures, and safety clearances during multi-step lifting operations.

Fixed-height adapters and non-adjustable extension kits limit positioning flexibility during service work requiring incremental height adjustments for access to different undercarriage components. Screw-type adjustability addresses this by enabling 5-10 inch height variations within each extension category without kit substitution or component changes during service operations.

This improves workflow efficiency by reducing equipment changes between service tasks. Technicians can adjust extension heights on-the-fly to accommodate brake service, suspension work, transmission fluid changes, and exhaust service without removing extensions or switching to different kits.

Applications & Use Cases

  • Wheel and Tire Service: Use standard and medium extensions to access tire removal, rotation, and wheel service on passenger vehicles and light trucks on your EV1220 inground lift system.
  • Brake Service: Extend lift height with medium and high extensions for brake pad replacement, rotor work, and brake system service on sedans, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles.
  • Suspension and Steering Work: Employ adjustable screw-type extensions for precise height control during suspension inspection, tie-rod replacement, and steering component service across diverse vehicle types.
  • Transmission and Fluid Service: Lift vehicle ends with medium extensions for transmission fluid drainage, pan removal, filter replacement, and undercarriage maintenance requiring temporary access.
  • Exhaust System Service: Position vehicles at optimal heights using frame engaging adapters and extension combinations for safe muffler, resonator, and exhaust pipe replacement and repair.
