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 lift system is the EV12CK-BMC completion kit compatible with? ▾
The EV12CK-BMC is engineered specifically for the Challenger EV1220 12,000 lb capacity inground cassette-style lift system and is not compatible with other lift models or brands. This completion kit includes the hydraulic components featuring 8.5-inch chrome pistons, a dedicated power unit assembly, and bench mounted controls required to finish your EV1220 installation. The kit is designed exclusively for the EV1220 platform to ensure proper dimensional fit, hydraulic compatibility, and control system integration with the pre-kit foundation and superstructure components that are sold separately.
What components are included in the EV12CK-BMC completion kit? ▾
The EV12CK-BMC includes 4 major component groups: 8.5-inch diameter chrome-plated pistons engineered for smooth hydraulic operation and extended service life, a complete power unit assembly that provides the hydraulic pressure for the 12,000 lb capacity system, bench mounted controls for ergonomic centralized lift operation, and a comprehensive hardware box containing all nuts, bolts, fittings, and fasteners required for installation. Note that the pre-kit foundation components and superstructure including lifting arms and contact pads are sold separately and required for a complete operational lift system.
What is the difference between BMC and standard pendant controls? ▾
Bench Mounted Controls included with the EV12CK-BMC provide a fixed control station that mounts at a workbench or designated shop location, allowing operators to control the 12,000 lb capacity EV1220 lift from a permanent position within the service bay. Standard pendant controls typically hang from the lift structure on a cable and move with the operator during vehicle positioning. The BMC configuration improves workflow efficiency by centralizing lift operation at a dedicated workstation, reduces cable wear from repeated movement, and simplifies control system maintenance compared to portable pendant setups.
Do I need additional components to complete my EV1220 lift installation? ▾
Yes, the EV12CK-BMC completion kit must be paired with 2 additional component groups that are sold separately. You will need the EV1220 pre-kit which includes foundation components for the inground cassette installation, plus the EV1220 superstructure which includes lifting arms and vehicle contact pads. All 3 component groups together - pre-kit foundation, EV12CK-BMC completion kit with 8.5-inch chrome pistons, and superstructure - are required to achieve a fully operational 12,000 lb capacity inground lift system. Contact our team at 855-498-2147 to confirm component availability.
What are the installation requirements for the EV12CK-BMC? ▾
Professional installation by qualified lift technicians familiar with inground lift systems is recommended for this 12,000 lb capacity equipment. The EV1220 pre-kit foundation must be installed first according to Challenger specifications before the completion kit components including the 8.5-inch chrome pistons, power unit, and bench mounted controls can be integrated. All hydraulic connections, electrical wiring, and control system installation should follow the official Challenger EV1220 installation manual with specified torque values. Verify local building codes and permit requirements before beginning installation as inground lift work may require inspections.
What warranty coverage applies to this completion kit? ▾
The standard Challenger Lifts warranty applies to the EV12CK-BMC completion kit when installed and used according to manufacturer specifications for the 12,000 lb capacity EV1220 system. Warranty registration is required within the specified timeframe for coverage eligibility and validation of any future claims. The completion kit with its 8.5-inch chrome pistons and power unit operates within the ALI/ETL certification parameters established for the EV1220 lift platform. Installation must be performed by qualified technicians following Challenger procedures, and the lift must be operated within its rated capacity to maintain full warranty coverage.
How is the EV12CK-BMC shipped? ▾
The EV12CK-BMC completion kit ships via freight carrier due to the size and weight of the 8.5-inch chrome pistons, power unit assembly, bench mounted controls, and other hydraulic components for this 12,000 lb capacity lift system. Liftgate service is typically not available for this shipment, so you should have a forklift or similar material handling equipment available at your location for unloading. Inspect all packages carefully before signing the bill of lading and document any visible damage on the BOL before the freight driver departs to ensure proper damage claim processing if needed.
Why are chrome pistons included in this kit? ▾
The 8.5-inch diameter chrome-plated pistons included in the EV12CK-BMC provide a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface that reduces friction between the piston and hydraulic seals during each lift cycle on the 12,000 lb capacity EV1220 system. Chrome plating protects against surface corrosion and scoring that commonly occurs in automotive shop environments with moisture, oil, and chemical exposure. This durable chrome surface extends hydraulic seal life, maintains consistent lifting performance across thousands of operational cycles, and reduces long-term maintenance requirements compared to standard non-chrome piston surfaces found in economy lift systems.

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.

This mid-rise scissor lift is perfect for our space. The frame is heavy and stable with no wobble at full lift. Ideal for a one-bay shop that needs flexibility.

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.

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.
