You need the above-ground hardware to bring the bay online. The Challenger EW10-UC upper components package is the most straightforward option in the lineup: superstructure, 3-stage arms, screw pads, and standard pedestal controls for the EW10 wide inground lift. No motor, no power unit, no bench-mount upgrade, no QuickCycle. Just the upper hardware for standard EW1020 installations where the below-ground infrastructure and 2HP motor are already in place. This is the base configuration for shops that want the EW10's extra-wide 88-inch drive-through clearance without any added complexity on the control or motor side. Standard pedestal controls mount adjacent to the lift as a standalone unit. No workbench integration to plan, no special conduit routing for BMC. The 2HP motor delivers a 41-second rise time, and you're running. If speed or control layout become priorities later, BMC and QuickCycle upgrade paths exist through the other UC packages, but this gets you lifting vehicles today with the simplest possible above-ground setup. The arm assemblies are identical across all EW10 configurations: 3-stage front and rear with double-telescoping screw pads, 20" to 42" reach, and precise pick-point positioning for everything from compact EVs to wide-body luxury vehicles. No bolster to drive over, 10,000 lb system capacity, and ALI/ETL certification on the complete assembled system. Specifications Model Number EW10-UC Configuration Upper Components with Standard Controls (for standard installations) System Lifting Capacity 10,000 lbs (complete assembled system) Capacity per Arm 2,500 lbs Arms 3-stage front / 3-stage rear Screw Pad Height 4" - 6.125" Arm Reach 20" - 42" Rise Height 78" Drive-Through Clearance 88" Overall Width 118" Speed of Rise (with standard power unit) 41 seconds Controls Standard (pedestal-mounted) Superstructure Colors Black, Red, or Blue Certifications (complete system) ALI/ETL Certified Motor and voltage specs are determined by the separately purchased power unit. The EW10-UC is intended for pairing with the standard EW1020 power configuration (2HP, 208V-230V, 60Hz, 1Ph). What's Included The Challenger EW10-UC includes the above-ground upper components for the EW10 wide inground lift. The following items are included in this package: Superstructure (covers and bay-level hardware) 3-Stage Front Arm Assembly 3-Stage Rear Arm Assembly Double-Telescoping Screw Pads Standard Pedestal Control Hardware The following components are NOT included and must already be installed or purchased separately: Tub, frame, and cylinder assembly Power unit / motor (2HP standard) EV Kit (Part #10900, sold separately) Call to confirm included accessories and verify the exact scope of the upper components package for your order. Installation and Setup The upper components install onto an existing EW10 cassette, frame, and standard power unit that's already set in cured concrete. Your below-ground infrastructure needs to be complete before the superstructure goes on. Standard pedestal controls are the simplest above-ground installation in the EW10 family. The control station mounts adjacent to the lift as an independent unit with no workbench integration required. Plan the pedestal placement for easy technician access without obstructing vehicle entry or exit. The existing standard power unit requires 208V-230V single-phase power at 60Hz and shop air between 90 and 120 psi. Professional installation by a qualified lift technician is strongly recommended to maintain warranty coverage and ensure ALI/ETL compliance on the assembled system. Applications Paired with EW10LS-2 If you purchased the tub and frame as the EW10LS-2 with a separate standard 2HP power unit, this upper components package completes the bay with standard pedestal controls and the full 3-stage arm assembly. Superstructure Replacement Replacing worn or damaged above-ground components on an existing standard EW10 installation. You keep your 2HP motor and get fresh arms, pads, covers, and controls without paying for a power unit you already own. General Service Shops The base EW10-UC configuration gives you 10,000 lb capacity with standard controls and no added complexity. Reliable daily-use lifting for shops that don't need faster cycle times or bench-mount integration. EV-Ready Service Bays The 88-inch drive-through clearance supports EV battery pack removal while maintaining full conventional lift functionality for standard vehicle service. Model Comparison Challenger offers upper components packages in multiple control and motor configurations. Here's how all four UC options compare: Upper Components Package Controls Intended Power Unit EW10-UC Standard Pedestal 2HP Standard EW10-UC-QC Standard Pedestal 3HP QuickCycle EW10-UC-BMC Bench-Mount (BMC) 2HP Standard EW10-UC-BMC-QC Bench-Mount (BMC) 3HP QuickCycle All four share the same superstructure, 3-stage arms with 20" to 42" reach, double-telescoping screw pads, and 10,000 lb system capacity. The EW10-UC is the base option: standard pedestal controls paired with the standard 2HP motor for the simplest possible above-ground setup. If you want faster cycle times, the EW10-UC-QC pairs with the 3HP QuickCycle motor. If you want bench-mount controls, the EW10-UC-BMC and EW10-UC-BMC-QC cover both motor options.

Call our team at (855) 498-2147 to confirm compatibility with your existing EW10 installation or to discuss configuration options for the Challenger EW10-UC upper components. Frequently Asked Questions What's the difference between upper components and a completion kit? Upper components include the superstructure, arms, screw pads, and controls, but do not include the power unit or motor. A completion kit bundles the power unit with the upper components. If you already have a standard 2HP motor installed with your EW10 tub and frame, the EW10-UC is what you need. If you need the motor too, look at the EW10CK completion kit instead. What do I need to have installed before adding upper components? Your EW10 cassette, frame, dual-cylinder assembly, and standard 2HP power unit must already be set in cured concrete and ready for connection. The upper components mount onto this existing below-ground infrastructure. If you purchased the EW10LS-2 tub and frame with a separate standard power unit, your foundation is configured for this package. How does the EW10-UC compare to the other upper components packages? The EW10-UC is the base configuration with standard pedestal controls paired with a 2HP motor for a 41-second rise time. The EW10-UC-QC pairs pedestal controls with the 3HP QuickCycle motor for a 24-second rise. The EW10-UC-BMC adds bench-mount controls for the standard motor. The EW10-UC-BMC-QC combines BMC with QuickCycle. All four share the same superstructure, arms, and 10,000 lb capacity. Can I upgrade to QuickCycle or bench-mount controls later? QuickCycle requires a different motor (3HP versus 2HP) and associated hydraulic components installed below ground. Bench-mount controls require workbench integration and different control hardware. If either upgrade is likely, it's more cost-effective to start with the appropriate UC variant. Contact us to discuss upgrade paths for existing installations. Can I use these upper components with a QuickCycle motor? The EW10-UC is configured for standard 2HP power unit installations. If your below-ground setup uses a 3HP QuickCycle motor, the EW10-UC-QC upper components package is the correct match, providing the same standard pedestal controls paired with the QuickCycle power configuration. Contact us to confirm compatibility. Can this lift handle electric vehicles and EV battery service? Yes. The EW10's 88-inch drive-through clearance is wide enough to lower EV battery packs while maintaining conventional lift functionality. The optional EV Kit (Part #10900) adds low-profile EV-ready foot pads, universal foot pads, 3-inch and 6-inch adapters, and storage racks for safe EV lifting across multiple platforms. What arm reach and screw pad range does this package provide? The 3-stage arms provide a reach of 20 to 42 inches, and the double-telescoping screw pads adjust from 4 inches to 6.125 inches in height. This range covers pick-up points on everything from compact EVs to wide-body luxury vehicles and full-size trucks with a 10,000 lb total system capacity at 2,500 lbs per arm. What colors are available for the superstructure? The EW10 superstructure is available in Black, Red, or Blue. Confirm your preferred color when placing your order so the correct panels ship with your upper components package. Color selection does not affect specifications or performance. How are the upper components shipped and what do I need for unloading? The package ships via flatbed freight truck. You'll receive a tracking number and schedule a delivery appointment with the carrier. A forklift or equivalent equipment is required for unloading, as standard delivery does not include unloading service. Contact us before ordering if you need liftgate or residential delivery options. What warranty coverage comes with the EW10 upper components? Challenger provides a limited warranty to the original purchaser. For inground lifts in the 10K-15K range, typical coverage is 1-year labor, 2-year parts, and 5-year structural. The warranty is non-transferable and requires registration. Claims need the lift's serial number and must go through an authorized service representative. Q: What is the difference between upper components and a completion kit? A: Upper components include superstructure, arms, pads, and controls but no motor. Completion kits bundle the power unit. Use EW10-UC if 2HP motor is already installed; use EW10CK if you need the motor too. Q: What must be installed before adding upper components? A: EW10 cassette, frame, dual-cylinder assembly, and standard 2HP power unit in cured concrete. EW10LS-2 with separate power unit provides this foundation. Q: How does the EW10-UC compare to other UC packages? A: Base config with pedestal controls and 2HP/41-second rise. UC-QC adds QC pairing. UC-BMC adds bench-mount controls. UC-BMC-QC combines both. All share same superstructure, arms, and 10,000 lb capacity. Q: Can I upgrade to QuickCycle or BMC later? A: QC requires 3HP motor swap below ground. BMC requires workbench integration and different control hardware. More cost-effective to start with correct UC variant. Q: Can I use these with a QuickCycle motor? A: No. EW10-UC is for standard 2HP installations. For QuickCycle, use EW10-UC-QC instead. Q: Can this lift handle EV battery service? A: Yes. 88-inch drive-through clearance allows EV battery removal. Optional EV Kit Part #10900 adds EV-specific pads and adapters. Q: What is the arm reach and screw pad range? A: Arm reach 20-42 inches. Screw pad height 4-6.125 inches. 10,000 lb system capacity at 2,500 lbs per arm. Q: What superstructure colors are available? A: Black, Red, or Blue. Confirm color at time of order. Q: How are upper components shipped? A: Flatbed freight truck. Forklift required for unloading. Tracking number and delivery appointment scheduling provided. Q: What warranty coverage is included? A: Limited warranty: 1-year labor, 2-year parts, 5-year structural for 10K-15K inground lifts. Non-transferable. Registration required. Show more
