Challenger EW10-UC-BMC Upper Components Overview
Your EW10 cassette, frame, and standard power unit are already in the ground. Now you need the above-ground hardware to finish the bay, and you want bench-mount controls instead of a pedestal. The Challenger EW10-UC-BMC upper components package delivers the superstructure, 3-stage arms, screw pads, and BMC control hardware for the EW10 wide inground lift. No motor, no power unit. Strictly the upper hardware for installations where the below-ground infrastructure and standard 2HP motor are already in place.
Bench-mount controls are the defining feature of this package. Instead of a standalone pedestal taking up floor space next to the lift, BMC integrates your controls directly into a workbench, operated by button or lever. Cleaner bay, easier reach, one less thing to work around when positioning vehicles or moving toolboxes. The superstructure and arm assemblies are identical to every other EW10 configuration: 3-stage front and rear arms with double-telescoping screw pads, 88 inches of extra-wide drive-through clearance, and 10,000 lb system capacity across four arms.
Once installed on a standard EW1020 power unit, you're looking at a 41-second rise time with the 2HP motor, full EV-width clearance for battery pack service, and ALI/ETL certification on the assembled system. If you need faster cycle times, the EW10-UC-BMC-QC upper components are the QuickCycle equivalent. But for shops that value the clean BMC layout without the QC speed premium, this package gets you there.

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 standard power unit that's already set in cured concrete. Your below-ground infrastructure needs to be complete 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 prevents rework after the superstructure is mounted. The existing standard 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 and frame as the EW10LS-2 with a separate standard power unit, 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 standard installation without purchasing a motor you already have. Adds BMC if you're upgrading from pedestal controls at the same time.
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 | Bench-Mount (BMC) | 2HP Standard |
| EW10-UC-BMC-QC | Bench-Mount (BMC) | 3HP QuickCycle |
| EW10-UC | Standard Pedestal | 2HP Standard |
| EW10-UC-QC | Standard Pedestal | 3HP QuickCycle |
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 gives you the clean bench-mount layout with the standard 2HP motor. If you want the same BMC controls with faster 24-second rise times, the EW10-UC-BMC-QC pairs with the QuickCycle motor instead.

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 standard 2HP motor installed with your EW10 tub and frame, the EW10-UC-BMC upper components package is what you need. If you need the motor too, look at the EW10CK-BMC completion kit instead.
What do I need to have installed before adding upper components?
Your EW10 cassette, frame, dual-cylinder assembly, and standard 2HP 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 tub and frame with a separate standard power unit, your foundation is 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's the difference between the EW10-UC-BMC and the EW10-UC-BMC-QC?
Both packages include the same superstructure, 3-stage arms, screw pads, and bench-mount controls. The difference is which power unit they're paired with. The EW10-UC-BMC is for standard 2HP motor installations with a 41-second rise time. The EW10-UC-BMC-QC is for 3HP QuickCycle installations with a 24-second rise time. Match the upper components to the motor you already have installed.
Can I use these upper components with a QuickCycle motor?
The EW10-UC-BMC is configured for standard 2HP power unit installations. If your below-ground setup uses a 3HP QuickCycle motor, the EW10-UC-BMC-QC upper components package is the correct match, providing the same bench-mount controls paired with the QuickCycle power configuration. Contact us to confirm compatibility with your existing installation.
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 across multiple platforms.
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.
