Challenger EW12SS Superstructure for EW12 3-Stage Arms
When your EW12 inground lift needs a replacement superstructure, the Challenger EW12SS is the direct-fit answer. Built to match the EW12's 12,000 lb. hydraulic inground platform, this superstructure delivers the same extra-wide drive-through clearance and True 3-Stage arm geometry that makes the EW12 one of the few lifts capable of handling today's widest vehicles. You're not retrofitting a generic part - you're restoring the lift to full factory spec.
The 88" drive-through clearance is the number that matters most here. Wide-body trucks, full-size SUVs, and electric vehicles with wide footprints all fit cleanly. That same clearance also enables battery-lowering procedures on EVs, which is increasingly a shop requirement, not a nice-to-have. The 3-stage front and rear arms with double-telescoping screw pads give you the reach and adaptability to hit the pinch welds on everything from a compact crossover to a RAM TRX.
Available in red, blue, or black to match your existing lift or shop aesthetic. If you have questions about fitment or want to confirm this is the right superstructure for your EW12 configuration, call us before ordering.

Installation & Setup
This superstructure is designed for the EW12 inground lift platform. Installation requires a compatible EW12 inground base already set in concrete. The motor runs on 208v-230v, 60Hz, single-phase power - confirm your electrical supply matches before installation begins. Shop air at 90-120 psi is required for operation.
Bench-mounted controls are available as an optional add-on. If you're unsure about your shop's electrical configuration or need guidance on confirming compatibility with your existing EW12 installation, call us at (855) 498-2147 before ordering.
Applications
The 88" drive-through clearance and 20"-48.5" arm reach handle wide-track vehicles like the RAM TRX and Hummer EV without modified entry or awkward positioning.
The EW12SS superstructure supports battery-lowering procedures on EVs, a capability that's becoming a shop requirement as EV volume increases.
With 3-stage arms front and rear and double-telescoping screw pads, this setup adapts cleanly across passenger cars, crossovers, and light trucks for routine service work.
A 63-second rise time keeps bays moving. QuickCycle is also available if throughput is a priority in your operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the EW12SS superstructure compatible with all EW12 inground lifts?
The EW12SS is built for the EW12 inground lift platform (model EW1220). If you're unsure about your specific configuration or have an older EW12 base, call us at (855) 498-2147 before ordering to confirm fitment.
What's the drive-through clearance on the EW12SS?
The EW12SS provides 88" of drive-through clearance. That's wide enough for today's broadest vehicles, including the RAM TRX, Hummer EV, Tesla Model X, and Ford Mach-E.
What arm reach does this superstructure provide?
The 3-stage front and rear arms extend from 20" to 48.5". The double-telescoping screw pads adjust from 4" to 6.125" in height, giving you solid pad contact across a wide range of vehicle types.
What electrical and air requirements does the EW12SS need?
The motor requires 208v-230v, 60Hz, single-phase power at 2HP. Shop air supply must be 90-120 psi. Confirm both before installation - an undersupplied electrical circuit is the most common setup issue.
Can this lift handle electric vehicle service, including battery lowering?
Yes. The EW12SS supports battery-lowering procedures out of electric vehicles. The wide 88" drive-through clearance and the inground design are specifically suited to EV service requirements.
