Challenger is at the cutting edge of vehicle lifting technology, and our EV series inground lifts are no exception. Challenger designed these new models to accommodate electric and wide vehicles. Challenger's electric hydraulic cassette-style inground EW & EV series lifts meet the rigorous demands of professional service facilities. Available in 8,000, 10,000, 12,000 and exclusive 15,000 lbs. lifting capacity. Whether you're constructing a new facility or outfitting an existing building, we have an installation application to fit your needs.
The Challenger Lifts EV1220 Inground Lift is the 12,000 lbs. hydraulic inground lift revolutionizing the automotive service industry. The lift's 3-stage arms and double-telescoping screw pads ensure precise positioning while spotting vehicles.
The EV1220 offers Bench-Mount Controls (BMC) by button or lever as an optional feature. BMC mounts the controls inside a workbench for a cleaner aesthetic look and facilitates more effortless lift operation and control, enhancing technician comfort and productivity.
The QuickCycle upgrade, which decreases the rise and descent time of the lift, is also available for the EV1220. This gets vehicles in the air and on the ground quicker, maximizing the earning potential of your service bay.
Upgrade your service center with the EV1220 and take your capabilities to the next level.

WHY CHOOSE AN INGROUND LIFT?
Challenger inground lifts make a strong first impression. The sleek, robust design inspires confidence and invokes the feeling of a showroom. Enjoy unobstructed access all around a lifted vehicle to increase productivity and minimize technician fatigue. The clear workspace is ideal for accurate diagnostic work, and a lack of overhead obstruction eliminates vehicle height restrictions. Open and close vehicle doors freely, without difficult maneuvering or worry of door damage.
With fewer obstructions to maneuver around, inground lifts offer higher service efficiency and reduced stress on technicians. They also eliminate concern over door damage and service restrictions based on a vehicle's height. While lifted, inground lifts provide clear access to vehicle's mechanical components. While lowered, they offer a clear presentation of your facility.
INGROUND VS. ABOVE-GROUND
Secure a higher return on investment. Inground lifts take up less valuable shop space than their above-ground counterparts. If your facility will.
OPTIONAL QUICKCYCLE TECHNOLOGY
The QuickCycle hydraulic enhancement for Challenger inground lifts saves both rise and descent time, allowing you to service more vehicles in the same amount of time. Increase your return on investment by upgrading your 10,000 lbs. or 12,000 lbs. inground lifts.
OPTIONAL BENCH-MOUNTED CONTROLS
Optional bench mounted power controls include raise, lower and lock release functions. They mount to many major workbench brands, providing convenient access to inground lift controls. Controls are also available in a lever option for no additional charge.
New Power Unit Service Bulletin
As of 04/21/25, Challenger Lifts will be switching to the Bucher AB-9367-DLH and AB-9858-DLH power units from the current SPX AB-9367 and AB-9858 models. These new Bucher power units will only require a 20 amp breaker. Electrical consumption is becoming more important as customers look to save on electrical installation costs (less breakers) and conserve energy.
Benefits Of The Change:
• Minimum Breaker Required Reduced from 30 to 20 Amp
• Optimize Power Consumption
• By consolidating our 10K and 12K power units, we simplify maintenance procedures and reduce inventory complexity
