Pre-kit is connected. The below-grade work is finished. All you need now is the above-ground hardware to bring the lift online. The Challenger EW12-UC is the base upper components package for the EW12 wide inground lift, delivering the standard hydraulic power unit, lift arms, screw pads, and column-mounted controls in a single order. No QuickCycle, no bench-mounted controls. Just the core above-ground hardware that turns your installed framework into a working 12,000 lb inground lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColumn-mounted controls integrate the operator panel directly into the lift structure. No separate workstation, no bench, no additional infrastructure to plan around. It's the most straightforward control configuration available. Standard hydraulic operation delivers a 63-second rise time with smooth, consistent performance across the full 12,000 lb capacity. The completed EW12 gives you 88 inches of drive-through clearance, true 3-stage front and rear arms, and double-telescoping screw pads ranging from 4 to 6.125 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the entry point in the EW12 upper components lineup. If you want faster cycle times, the UC-QC adds QuickCycle. If you want a remote control station, the UC-BMC swaps to bench-mounted controls. Want both? The UC-BMC-QC covers it. All four packages mount the same way onto your installed superstructure and pre-kit. Every component is factory-matched to the EW12 series. Not sure which configuration fits? Call (855) 498-2147 and we'll match the right package to your bay layout and workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection id=\"specifications\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChallenger EW12 Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"gsg-spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEW1220\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLifting Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12,000 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity per Arm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3,000 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-stage front \/ 3-stage rear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScrew Pad Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\" - 6.125\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArm Reach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20\" - 48.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStroke\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRise Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e78\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrive-Through Clearance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e121.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeed of Rise\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e63 seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAir Required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90 - 120 psi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuperstructure Colors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed, Blue, Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor \/ Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 HP, 208-230V, 60 Hz, 1 Ph\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eALI\/ETL Certified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection id=\"whats-included\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCall to confirm included accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the base upper components package for the EW12 inground lift with standard column-mounted controls and standard hydraulic operation.

This base UC uses column-mounted controls with standard 63-second rise hydraulics. The UC-QC adds QuickCycle for faster cycles. The UC-BMC swaps to bench-mounted controls with standard hydraulics. The UC-BMC-QC combines bench controls and QuickCycle. All four mount the same way onto an installed superstructure and pre-kit, and the completed system delivers the same 12,000 lb capacity and 88-inch drive-through clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow is an upper components package different from a completion kit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA completion kit pairs with a pre-kit to finish an installation where the superstructure is already in the ground. An upper components package assumes both the superstructure and pre-kit are already installed and connected. You're only adding what goes on top.
