Challenger EW12LS-2 Wide Inground Lift 12000 lb Capacity

It means this package includes everything you need to build a complete EW12 wide inground lift except the superstructure. You get the tub and frame (pre-kit components that install into the superstructure) plus the standard completion kit (power unit, arms, column-mounted controls). Your superstructure must already be installed in the ground with concrete work finished before these components can be connected.

Both packages include the same pre-kit (tub and frame) and are both less-superstructure configurations. The difference is the completion kit. This EW12LS-2 uses standard hydraulic operation with a 63-second rise time. The LS-2-QC version includes QuickCycle hydraulics for faster lift and lower cycles. Both use column-mounted controls unless you opt for a BMC configuration.

Then you need the full EW12 system package that includes the superstructure, not this less-superstructure configuration. The superstructure is the first component that goes into the ground during new construction. If your bay is still in the planning or concrete phase, call (855) 498-2147 and we'll get you set up with the complete system.

The tub and frame are the pre-kit components that install into your existing superstructure below ground level. They house the hydraulic cylinders and provide the structural foundation for the lift arms and above-ground hardware. Once the tub and frame are in place, the completion kit components (power unit, arms, controls) connect on top to finish the system.

The system runs on 208-230V, 60 Hz, single-phase power with a dedicated circuit for the 2 HP motor. A licensed electrician needs to handle the wiring and verify the supply meets code before the lift goes into service. You'll also need 90 to 120 psi compressed air for the automatic safety locks.

Yes. The completed EW12 holds both ALI and ETL certification, confirming third-party verification of the lift's 12,000 lb capacity, structural integrity, and mechanical safety features. These certifications are recognized by insurance carriers, facility managers, and franchise dealership compliance programs.

That's one of its primary design strengths. The 88-inch drive-through clearance and 3-stage arm geometry allow battery pack access and lowering without obstruction. Double-telescoping screw pads with a 4" to 6.125" height range provide precise lift point positioning on EV platforms for high-voltage battery and drivetrain service.

It ships via flatbed freight truck. You'll need a forklift or similar equipment for unloading since lift gate service isn't available. Deliveries arrive on a 48-foot semi, so confirm your site has adequate truck access. Since this combines the tub, frame, and completion kit, expect a substantial shipment that covers both below-ground and above-ground components.

Challenger's limited warranty covers repair or replacement of defective parts for the original owner, including reasonable labor and transportation costs. The lift must be installed, used, and maintained per Challenger's specifications. Coverage excludes consumable items, normal wear, and damage from misuse or unauthorized repairs. Registration may be required after purchase.

It depends on what's already in the ground. If your superstructure is installed and you need everything else, this less-superstructure package is the right call. If nothing's installed yet, you need the full system. If the superstructure and pre-kit are both done, a standalone completion kit is the match. Want faster cycle times? Step up to the LS-2-QC. Call (855) 498-2147 and we'll sort out exactly where your build stands.
