Challenger EW10CK-QC Completion Kit Overview
Your cassette is already set in concrete and you need the above-ground hardware to bring the bay online. The Challenger EW10CK-QC completion kit delivers the superstructure, 3-stage arms, standard controls, and QuickCycle power unit for the EW10 series inground lift, giving you a 10,000 lb capacity bay with 88 inches of extra-wide drive-through clearance. That clearance matters because it's wide enough to lower EV battery packs while still functioning as a conventional inground cassette for standard service work.
QuickCycle is what separates this kit from the base EW1020 configuration. A 3HP motor cuts rise time to 24 seconds, nearly half the 41-second cycle on the standard 2HP unit. Across a full day of bumper-to-bumper appointments, that speed difference translates directly into more vehicles through your bay. The 3-stage front and rear arms with double-telescoping screw pads give you precise pick-point positioning on everything from compact EVs to wide-body luxury sedans, and the bolster-free design means nothing to drive over when pulling vehicles in and out.
ALI/ETL certification comes standard, so you're covered for insurance compliance and shop inspections. If you need bench-mount controls down the road, that's a separate BMC upgrade. This kit gives you the QuickCycle speed advantage with standard pedestal controls right out of the crate.

Installation and Setup
The EW10 platform simplifies the install compared to older inground designs. Instead of three separate concrete pours, you need only one. That means less coordination with your concrete contractor and a faster path from construction to a working service bay.
You'll need 208V-230V single-phase power at 60Hz for the 3HP QuickCycle motor, plus shop air between 90 and 120 psi. Standard pedestal controls mount adjacent to the lift, so plan your control placement during the bay layout phase. 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 struggle to accommodate.
QuickCycle's 24-second rise time keeps vehicles moving through your bay faster, making this kit a strong fit for shops running back-to-back appointments throughout the day.
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 stack up:
| 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-QC completion kit is based on the EW1020-QC configuration with the faster 3HP motor and 24-second rise time using standard pedestal controls. Bench-mount controls (BMC) are available as a separate upgrade if you want to integrate controls into a workbench later. The base EW1020 configuration uses a 2HP motor with a 41-second rise time for shops where cycle speed is less critical.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the EW10CK-QC 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, standard pedestal controls, and the 3HP QuickCycle power unit. The underground cassette and cylinder assembly are separate components. Call to confirm exact included accessories for your specific order.
What's the difference between the EW10CK-QC and the EW10CK-BMC-QC?
Both kits include the QuickCycle 3HP motor with a 24-second rise time. The difference is the control type: the EW10CK-QC uses standard pedestal-mounted controls, while the BMC version integrates controls into a workbench. All other specs, including the 10,000 lb capacity, 88-inch drive-through clearance, and 3-stage arms, are identical between the two configurations.
What concrete and electrical requirements does this kit need?
The EW10 platform requires a single concrete pour for the cassette, which is simpler than older three-pour inground designs. Electrical requirements are 208V-230V single-phase power at 60Hz for the 3HP QuickCycle motor. You'll also need shop air between 90 and 120 psi for operation.
How fast does the QuickCycle version raise a vehicle?
The QuickCycle upgrade brings rise time down to 24 seconds, compared to 41 seconds on the standard EW1020 without QuickCycle. This is achieved through a larger 3HP motor versus the standard 2HP unit, making a noticeable difference in high-volume bays running back-to-back services all day.
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.
Can I upgrade to bench-mount controls later?
The EW10 platform supports bench-mount controls (BMC) as an upgrade option. BMC integrates the lift controls into a workbench by button or lever, eliminating the standalone pedestal. If you think you may want BMC eventually, consider whether starting with the EW10CK-BMC-QC kit makes more sense for your bay layout.
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.
