Challenger EW10-UC-BMC-QC Upper Components Overview
You already have the EW10 cassette, frame, and QuickCycle power unit in the ground. What you need now are the above-ground pieces that turn that foundation into a working lift. The Challenger EW10-UC-BMC-QC upper components package delivers the superstructure, 3-stage arms, screw pads, and bench-mount control hardware for the EW10 wide inground lift platform. This is not a completion kit with a bundled power unit. This is strictly the upper hardware, designed for installations where the below-ground infrastructure and QC motor are already in place.
The distinction matters for shops that purchased the EW10LS-2-QC (tub, frame, and QuickCycle power unit) separately, or for facilities replacing worn above-ground components on an existing EW10 bay. You're not paying for a motor you already own. You're getting the superstructure, the 3-stage front and rear arms with double-telescoping screw pads, and the BMC control package that integrates directly into your workbench for a cleaner bay layout and more ergonomic operation.
Once installed, you're looking at the full EW10 spec sheet: 10,000 lb capacity, 88 inches of extra-wide drive-through clearance for EV battery service, 24-second rise time from the existing QuickCycle motor, and ALI/ETL certification on the assembled system. The bench-mount controls operate by button or lever, eliminating the standalone pedestal and giving your techs one less obstacle on the shop floor.

What's Included
The Challenger EW10-UC-BMC-QC includes the above-ground upper components for the EW10 wide inground lift. The following items are included in this package:
- Superstructure (covers and bay-level hardware)
- 3-Stage Front Arm Assembly
- 3-Stage Rear Arm Assembly
- Double-Telescoping Screw Pads
- Bench-Mount Control (BMC) Hardware
The following components are NOT included and must already be installed or purchased separately:
- Tub, frame, and cylinder assembly
- Power unit / motor (3HP QuickCycle)

Call to confirm included accessories and verify the exact scope of the upper components package for your order.
Installation and Setup
The upper components install onto an existing EW10 cassette, frame, and QuickCycle power unit that's already set and operational (or ready for final connection). Your below-ground infrastructure needs to be complete and the concrete fully cured before the superstructure goes on.
Because this package includes bench-mount controls, plan your workbench placement and conduit routing before installation begins. The BMC hardware integrates into the bench surface, so getting the layout right in advance saves rework. The existing QuickCycle power unit requires 208V-230V single-phase power at 60Hz and shop air between 90 and 120 psi. Professional installation by a qualified lift technician is strongly recommended to maintain warranty coverage and ensure ALI/ETL compliance on the assembled system.
Applications
If you purchased the tub, frame, and QuickCycle power unit as the EW10LS-2-QC, this upper components package completes the bay with bench-mount controls and the full 3-stage arm assembly.
Replacing worn or damaged above-ground components on an existing EW10 QuickCycle installation without purchasing a motor you already have.
Bench-mount controls eliminate the standalone pedestal from your floor plan, integrating lift operation into the workbench for a cleaner workspace and easier technician access.
The 88-inch drive-through clearance supports EV battery pack removal while maintaining full conventional lift functionality for standard vehicle service.
Model Comparison
Challenger offers upper components packages in multiple control and motor configurations. Here's how the UC options compare:
| Upper Components Package | Controls | Intended Power Unit |
|---|---|---|
| EW10-UC-BMC-QC | Bench-Mount (BMC) | 3HP QuickCycle |
| EW10-UC-QC | Standard Pedestal | 3HP QuickCycle |
| EW10-UC-BMC | Bench-Mount (BMC) | 2HP Standard |
| EW10-UC | Standard Pedestal | 2HP Standard |
All four share the same superstructure, 3-stage arms with 20" to 42" reach, double-telescoping screw pads, and 10,000 lb system capacity. The differences are control type and which power unit they're paired with. The EW10-UC-BMC-QC gives you the bench-mount controls with the faster QuickCycle motor for maximum throughput and the cleanest bay layout.

For inground lifts in the 10K-15K range (such as the EW1020 platform), typical coverage includes 1-year labor, 2-year parts, and 5-year structural. Exclusions apply for damage caused by improper installation, lack of maintenance, or unauthorized repairs.
Warranty registration may be required after purchase. Refer to included documentation for details. Claims require the lift's serial number and must be processed through an authorized service representative.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between upper components and a completion kit?
Upper components include the superstructure, arms, screw pads, and controls, but do not include the power unit or motor. A completion kit bundles the power unit with the upper components. If you already have a QuickCycle 3HP motor installed with your EW10 tub and frame, the upper components package is what you need. If you need the motor too, look at the EW10CK-BMC-QC completion kit instead.
What do I need to have installed before adding upper components?
Your EW10 cassette, frame, dual-cylinder assembly, and 3HP QuickCycle power unit must already be set in cured concrete and ready for connection. The upper components mount onto this existing below-ground infrastructure. If you purchased the EW10LS-2-QC, your foundation is already configured for this package.
How do the bench-mount controls work?
Bench-mount controls (BMC) integrate directly into your workbench surface, operated by button or lever. This eliminates the standalone control pedestal from the bay floor, giving you a cleaner workspace layout and more ergonomic access during lift operation. Plan your workbench placement and conduit routing before installation begins.
What speed of rise will I get with this package?
The upper components pair with the existing QuickCycle 3HP motor to deliver a 24-second rise time. That's the same speed as any EW10 QuickCycle configuration, nearly half the 41-second cycle time on the standard 2HP motor. The speed is determined by the power unit, not the upper components themselves.
Can I use these upper components with a standard 2HP motor instead of QuickCycle?
The EW10-UC-BMC-QC is configured for QuickCycle installations. If your below-ground setup uses a standard 2HP motor, the EW10-UC-BMC upper components package is the correct match, providing the same bench-mount controls and arm assemblies paired with the standard power configuration. Contact us to confirm compatibility.
Can this lift handle electric vehicles and EV battery service?
Yes. The EW10's 88-inch drive-through clearance is wide enough to lower EV battery packs while maintaining conventional lift functionality. The optional EV Kit (Part #10900) adds low-profile EV-ready foot pads, universal foot pads, 3-inch and 6-inch adapters, and storage racks for safe EV lifting.
What arm reach and screw pad range does this package provide?
The 3-stage arms provide a reach of 20 to 42 inches, and the double-telescoping screw pads adjust from 4 inches to 6.125 inches in height. This range covers pick-up points on everything from compact EVs to wide-body luxury vehicles and full-size trucks with a 10,000 lb total system capacity at 2,500 lbs per arm.
What colors are available for the superstructure?
The EW10 superstructure is available in Black, Red, or Blue. Confirm your preferred color when placing your order so the correct panels ship with your upper components package. Color selection does not affect specifications or performance.
How are the upper components shipped and what do I need for unloading?
The package ships via flatbed freight truck. You'll receive a tracking number and schedule a delivery appointment with the carrier. A forklift or equivalent equipment is required for unloading, as standard delivery does not include unloading service. Contact us before ordering if you need liftgate or residential delivery options.
What warranty coverage comes with the EW10 upper components?
Challenger provides a limited warranty to the original purchaser. For inground lifts in the 10K-15K range, typical coverage is 1-year labor, 2-year parts, and 5-year structural. The warranty is non-transferable and requires registration. Claims need the lift's serial number and must go through an authorized service representative.
