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" mean on the EW12LS-2? ▾
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.
What's the difference between the EW12LS-2 and the EW12LS-2-QC? ▾
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.
What if my superstructure isn't installed yet? ▾
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 800-736-6265 and we'll get you set up with the complete system.
What does "tub and frame" refer to? ▾
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.
What electrical service does the completed EW12 require? ▾
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.
Is the EW12 ALI/ETL certified? ▾
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.
Can the EW12 service electric vehicles? ▾
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.
How is this package shipped? ▾
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.
What warranty covers this package? ▾
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.
How do I know which EW12 package I need? ▾
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 800-736-6265 and we'll sort out exactly where your build stands.

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.

The KT-X90E does exactly what a busy bay needs. Low-profile design slides under low cars easily. Ideal for a one-bay shop that needs flexibility.

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.

Katool KT-T800 Tire Changer & KT-B760 Wheel Balancer Combo

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.

Travis A.

Best mid-rise we could have bought. Low-profile design slides under low cars easily. The frame is heavy and stable with no wobble at full lift. Feels much sturdier than its weight class suggests.
