Challenger EW10CK-BMC Completion Kit Overview
Your cassette is set and you're ready to build up. The Challenger EW10CK-BMC completion kit delivers the superstructure, 3-stage arms, bench-mount controls, and standard power unit for the EW10 series inground lift, putting a 10,000 lb capacity bay with 88 inches of extra-wide drive-through clearance into service. That clearance is the headline feature: wide enough to lower EV battery packs without sacrificing conventional inground cassette functionality for standard vehicles.
Bench-mount controls are what set this kit apart from the base EW10 configuration. Instead of a standalone pedestal next to the lift, BMC integrates your controls directly into a workbench, operated by button or lever. Cleaner bay layout, easier reach for your techs, and one less obstacle on the shop floor. The 2HP motor delivers a 41-second rise time on the standard power unit, which is plenty for shops that prioritize a clean workspace over maximum cycle speed.
Challenger's 3-stage front and rear arms with double-telescoping screw pads give you precise pick-point positioning across a wide vehicle mix, from compact EVs with specific lift points to full-size trucks. No bolster to drive over when pulling vehicles in and out, and the entire platform carries ALI/ETL certification for insurance compliance and inspector confidence.

Call to confirm included accessories and verify whether the EV Kit is bundled or sold separately for your configuration.
Installation and Setup
The EW10 platform cuts installation complexity compared to older inground designs. One concrete pour instead of three. That's less downtime, fewer scheduling headaches with your contractor, and a faster timeline from groundwork to a working bay.
You'll need 208V-230V single-phase power at 60Hz for the 2HP motor, plus shop air between 90 and 120 psi. Because this kit includes bench-mount controls, plan your workbench placement and conduit routing before the superstructure goes in. The BMC hardware integrates into the bench surface, so getting the layout right during the rough-in phase saves rework later. Professional installation by a qualified lift technician is strongly recommended to maintain warranty coverage and ensure ALI/ETL compliance.
Applications
The 88-inch drive-through clearance lets you lower battery packs out of electric vehicles while still functioning as a standard inground lift for conventional service work.
3-stage arms with double-telescoping screw pads reach specific pick-up points on wide-chassis luxury sedans and performance vehicles that narrower lifts can't accommodate.
Bench-mount controls eliminate the standalone pedestal from your floor plan, giving techs a cleaner workspace and more room to maneuver around the vehicle.
From compact EVs to full-size trucks, the 10,000 lb capacity and 20" to 42" arm reach cover a wide mix of makes and models without swapping adapters between every job.
Model Comparison
The EW10 platform comes in two base configurations. Here's how they compare:
| Feature | EW1020 (Standard) | EW1020-QC (QuickCycle) |
|---|---|---|
| Speed of Rise | 41 seconds | 24 seconds |
| Motor | 2HP, 208V-230V, 60Hz, 1Ph | 3HP, 208V-230V, 60Hz, 1Ph |
| Lifting Capacity | 10,000 lbs | 10,000 lbs |
| Drive-Through Clearance | 88" | 88" |
| Arms | 3-stage front / 3-stage rear | 3-stage front / 3-stage rear |
| Certifications | ALI/ETL | ALI/ETL |
The EW10CK-BMC completion kit is based on the standard EW1020 configuration with the 2HP motor and 41-second rise time, paired with bench-mount controls. If you need faster cycle times, the QuickCycle upgrade is available in the EW10CK-BMC-QC kit, which bumps the motor to 3HP and cuts rise time to 24 seconds while keeping the same BMC integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the EW10CK-BMC completion kit include?
The completion kit provides the above-ground components needed to finish an EW10 inground lift installation, including the superstructure, 3-stage arm assemblies, bench-mount control package, and the standard 2HP power unit. The underground cassette and cylinder assembly are separate components. Call to confirm exact included accessories for your specific order.
How do bench-mount controls work compared to standard pedestal controls?
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 operation. Standard pedestal controls mount as a separate unit adjacent to the lift.
What's the difference between the EW10CK-BMC and the EW10CK-BMC-QC?
Both kits include bench-mount controls and identical 10,000 lb capacity, 88-inch drive-through clearance, and 3-stage arms. The difference is the motor: the EW10CK-BMC uses a standard 2HP unit with a 41-second rise time, while the BMC-QC version upgrades to a 3HP QuickCycle motor that cuts rise time to 24 seconds.
What concrete and electrical requirements does this kit need?
The EW10 platform requires a single concrete pour for the cassette, simpler than older three-pour inground designs. Electrical requirements are 208V-230V single-phase power at 60Hz for the 2HP motor. You'll also need shop air between 90 and 120 psi for operation. Plan workbench placement and conduit routing for BMC before installation begins.
Can I upgrade to QuickCycle later?
The QuickCycle upgrade involves a different motor (3HP versus the standard 2HP) and associated hydraulic components. If faster cycle times are a priority for your bay, the EW10CK-BMC-QC kit bundles both BMC and QuickCycle from the start. Contact us to discuss upgrade paths for existing installations.
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. 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 vehicle platforms.
Is the Challenger EW10 ALI/ETL certified?
Yes. Both the standard EW1020 and the EW1020-QC carry full ALI/ETL certification. This means the lift meets Automotive Lift Institute safety standards, which is typically required for insurance compliance and shop inspections.
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 completion kit. Color selection does not affect specifications or performance.
How is this completion kit shipped and what do I need for unloading?
The kit 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 completion kit?
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.
