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 units (cassette tub, pistons, power unit, controls, and safety locks) without the superstructure assembly. The EV1220SS superstructure kit, which includes 3-stage front and rear arms, screw-type extensions, and frame engaging adapters, must be purchased separately for each lift unit to achieve a fully operational lift system.
Why would I order the LS model instead of the complete lift? ▾
The LS configuration is designed for facilities that are replacing lift mechanisms in existing pits where superstructure components are being retained, ordering superstructures separately to match specific service requirements, or phasing installation across multiple purchase orders. It allows flexible component sourcing while ensuring the core lift hardware is factory-matched.
How many lift units are included in this listing? ▾
This listing includes 2 complete EV1220-QC inground lift units. Each unit is a self-contained inground lift with its own Quick Cycle 3HP 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 the Quick Cycle and standard EV1220? ▾
The Quick Cycle (QC) model features a 3HP motor compared to the standard 2HP motor, delivering significantly faster rise and lower times. The standard EV1220 has a 60-second rise time while the QC model reduces this substantially. The QC model is recommended for high-volume service environments where faster lift cycles directly impact daily throughput.
What is the lifting capacity of each unit? ▾
Each EV1220 lift unit has a total lifting capacity of 12,000 lb with 3,000 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 electrical power does each lift require? ▾
Each Quick Cycle lift unit requires 208-230V, 60Hz, single phase power with a dedicated 3HP motor circuit. 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 EV1220SS superstructure kit. The superstructure includes 4 standard adjustable screw-type extensions, 4 medium extensions, 2 high extensions, and 4 frame engaging truck adapters for a total of 14 components per lift. 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.
What is the drive-thru clearance? ▾
The EV1220 provides 87" of drive-thru clearance, which is among the widest in the inground lift category. This accommodates full-size trucks, wide-bodied SUVs, and vehicles with extended mirrors or fender flares, minimizing tire pinching risk during drive-on positioning.
Is this lift ALI/ETL certified? ▾
Yes, the Challenger EV1220 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.
