Warranty

Warranty ▾
Warranty basics
Challenger Lifts, Inc. (CLI) warrants its lifts to the original owner only; the coverage is not transferable. CLI will, at its discretion, repair or replace any part that is found on inspection to be defective during the applicable warranty period. Coverage applies only when the lift is installed, operated, and maintained in line with CLI's installation, operation, and maintenance instructions. Using unapproved parts or accessories voids the warranty, as does any repair attempted by someone who is not a CLI authorized service representative. Normal maintenance, adjustments, wear and tear, and damage from improper handling, abuse, misuse, or negligence are not covered. The warranty is valid only if the lift is registered with Challenger Lifts; registration must be completed online (challengerlifts.com/register-your-lift), otherwise the warranty period begins from the invoice date of purchase.
Warranty length
5 years on structural parts, 2 years on functional parts, and 1 year on labor. Structural parts include the carriage, columns, column extensions, overhead beams, arms, cross beams, runways, wheel stops, ramps, bolsters, sync rails, and plungers. Functional parts include power units, cylinders, sheaves, sheave pins, hoses, hydraulic and pneumatic fittings, cables, adapters, latches, valves, and controls.
Remedies and costs
Repair or replacement of defective parts is the exclusive remedy under this warranty. For the covered period, CLI also pays reasonable transportation and/or labor costs to replace those parts. This warranty is exclusive and replaces all other warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, which is expressly excluded. No employee, agent, dealer, or other party may extend warranties on CLI's behalf. CLI is not liable for special, consequential, or incidental damages arising from any breach or delay in performance of the warranty. The warranty is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Jefferson County, Kentucky.

FAQs

What does "Less Superstructure" (LS) mean? ▾
Less Superstructure means this listing includes the complete inground lift tub and frame assemblies (cassette tub, pistons, power unit, controls, and safety locks) without the superstructure assembly. The EV1020SS superstructure kit, which includes 3-stage front and rear arms, double telescoping screw pads, extensions, and frame engaging adapters, must be purchased separately for each lift unit to achieve a fully operational lift system.
What does "Tub and Frame" refer to? ▾
Tub and Frame refers to the core inground lift components: the sealed polymer cassette tub that sits in the concrete pit and the structural frame assembly that houses the hydraulic cylinder, pistons, bearings, and safety locks. Together with the power unit and controls (included), these components form the complete lift mechanism. The superstructure (arms, pads, and extensions that contact the vehicle) is the only major component group not included.
How many lift units are included in this listing? ▾
This listing includes 2 complete EV1020 inground lift tub and frame assemblies. Each unit is a self-contained inground lift with its own 2HP power unit, 8.5" chrome pistons, sealed polymer cassette tub, mechanical safety locks, and wall-mounted controls. Both units ship together for coordinated multi-bay installation.
What is the difference between this standard model and the EV1020-QC? ▾
The standard EV1020 uses a 2HP motor with a standard pump delivering a 38-second rise time, while the EV1020-QC uses the same 2HP motor with an upgraded pump (4cc vs 2.5cc) that achieves a 27-second rise and 17-second lowering time. The standard model is well suited for facilities with moderate daily throughput, while the QC model targets high-volume environments where over 40% faster lift cycles directly impact revenue.
What is the lifting capacity of each unit? ▾
Each EV1020 lift unit has a total lifting capacity of 10,000 lb with 2,500 lb capacity per arm. This accommodates passenger cars, crossovers, SUVs, and light trucks. The 8.5" chrome pistons provide greater stability under load compared to smaller-bore competitive designs.
What is the difference between the EV1020 and EV1220? ▾
The EV1020 has a 10,000 lb capacity with 2,500 lb per arm and a 97" overall width, while the EV1220 has a 12,000 lb capacity with 3,000 lb per arm and a 115" overall width. Both share the same 87" drive-thru clearance and 8.5" chrome pistons. The EV1020 offers a more compact footprint ideal for standard passenger vehicle service, while the EV1220 handles heavier commercial vehicles.
What electrical power does each lift require? ▾
Each standard EV1020 lift unit requires 208-230V, 60Hz, single phase power with a dedicated 2HP motor circuit and 30A service. Since this is a set of 2 lifts, your facility will need 2 separate electrical circuits meeting these specifications. A licensed electrician must install and verify electrical supply for each unit.
What superstructure do I need to complete the lift? ▾
Each lift unit requires one EV1020SS superstructure kit. The superstructure includes 3-stage front and rear arms with reach from 19.625" to 42.125", double telescoping screw pads adjustable from 3.875" to 6", standard and medium extensions, high extensions, and frame engaging truck adapters. Frame engaging adapters are required when lifting vehicles with frame construction.
Is compressed air required? ▾
Yes, each lift unit requires compressed air at 90-120 PSI for the mechanical lock release mechanism. Ensure your shop air system can provide adequate pressure and volume for consistent operation across both lifts, especially during simultaneous use in adjacent bays.
Is this lift ALI/ETL certified? ▾
Yes, the Challenger EV1020 carries both ALI (Automotive Lift Institute) and ETL certification, validating that the lift meets recognized safety and performance standards. This third-party certification provides documented compliance appropriate for professional service facilities and insurance requirements.
What warranty coverage is included? ▾
Challenger provides a 5-year warranty on structural components, 2-year warranty on functional parts (power units, cylinders, hoses, controls), and 1-year warranty on electrical components. An optional extended warranty adding 3 years of functional parts coverage is available within 30 days of purchase. Warranty registration must be completed within 30 days of installation.
What maintenance does this lift require? ▾
Challenger EV Series inground lifts require quarterly greasing of bearings, which is less frequent than competitive models that require monthly maintenance. Regular inspection of safety locks, hydraulic fluid levels, wipers, and piston condition should follow the maintenance schedule in the installation manual. The optional StayDry kit (SD100) automates condensate removal from the cassette tub.

Could not ask for more from a two-post lift at this price. The 11,000 lb rating gives plenty of headroom for trucks and SUVs. Install was a weekend job and it has run trouble-free since.

The KT-T830 makes low-profile tires effortless. It handles large-diameter wheels that our old machine could not. Money well spent for a busy bay.

Outstanding tire changer, especially with the assist arm. The turntable clamps low-profile alloys without scuffing. The bead breaker blade has serious power for stubborn beads. Build quality feels heavy-duty throughout.

This combo set up our whole tire bay in one purchase. The changer's jaws and the balancer's cone set both feel well made. Footprint of both machines fits a single bay comfortably. Both arrived well packed and went together without drama.

Buying the changer and balancer together was the right call. Footprint of both machines fits a single bay comfortably. Both arrived well packed and went together without drama.

Drive-on, lift, done. Exactly what we needed. The 11,000 lb capacity handles everything from sedans to our 3/4-ton truck with margin to spare. It doubles as storage parking, which freed up a whole bay. Assembly took an afternoon with two people and went smoothly.

Hands down one of the better purchases we have made for the bay. The four-jaw turntable centers wheels quickly and clamps securely. The carburized steel jaws hold the rim firmly without marring the finish. After hundreds of tires the only upkeep has been routine lubrication.

Love how portable yet sturdy this lift is. The frame is heavy and stable with no wobble at full lift. Feels much sturdier than its weight class suggests.

Could not ask for more from a two-post lift at this price. Padded arm rests protect rockers and the telescoping arms reach awkward pickup points. A year in and it raises every vehicle dead level with no drift.

Best upgrade our two-bay shop has made. Padded arm rests protect rockers and the telescoping arms reach awkward pickup points. Install was a weekend job and it has run trouble-free since.

This machine handles run-flats like nothing. The press arm holds the bead down so mounting goes quickly. The mount head leaves a clean rim every time. Cut our tire service time noticeably once the crew learned it.
