Product Overview
Challenger EW1020 Wide Inground ALI Car Lift 10,000 lb. Capacity
The Challenger EW1020 is a professional-grade 10,000 lb. capacity ALI-certified inground hydraulic car lift engineered specifically for modern wide-bodied and electric vehicles. With an impressive 88" drive-through clearance, this lift handles vehicles that simply won't fit on standard lifts — including popular models like the RAM TRX, Hummer EV, Tesla Model X, and Ford Mach-E. Its innovative design features true 3-stage front and rear arms, double-telescoping screw pads, and no bolster to drive over, making it easier to position and service even the most challenging vehicles. The EW1020 is ideal for shops servicing electric vehicles, as its wide clearance allows full access for battery-lowering and undercarriage service work.
Important Power Unit & Control Configuration Update
Integrating the Powerunit & Controls Under the Bench Changes
Due to the recent move to the DLH power units on the EW and EV Series inground lifts, the configuration for the cabinet door for bench mount levered controls will change. Please make sure that when using BML controls with ingrounds configuration change.
NOTE: The BMC configuration will not change.

Engineered for Today's Widest Vehicles
The Challenger EW1020 delivers 10,000 lbs. of lifting capacity with an industry-leading 118" overall width and 88" drive-through clearance. This extra-wide design is purpose-built for modern wide-bodied trucks, SUVs, and electric vehicles that exceed the dimensions of traditional lifts. The hydraulic inground design features a 78" rise height with a 72" stroke, providing ample working space underneath while keeping the lift profile low and unobtrusive.
With true 3-stage front and rear arms, the EW1020 offers exceptional versatility and reach. Each arm extends from 20" to 42", and each of the four arms can safely support 2,500 lbs. The double-telescoping screw pads adjust from 4" to 6.125" in height, allowing precise positioning on a wide variety of vehicle frame and lift point configurations. This is especially critical when servicing electric vehicles with battery packs or wide-bodied trucks with reinforced frames.
Simplified Installation & Operation
One of the standout advantages of the EW1020 is its simplified installation process. Unlike traditional inground lifts that require three separate concrete pours, the EW1020 only requires one concrete pour, significantly reducing installation time, labor, and costs. There is no bolster to drive over, making vehicle positioning easier and reducing the risk of undercarriage contact during drive-on.
The lift operates on a powerful 2HP motor (208v-230v, 60Hz, 1Ph) and requires 90-120 psi air supply. The EW1020 achieves full rise in just 41 seconds, maximizing shop efficiency and minimizing vehicle turnaround time. Bench-mounted controls are available as an optional upgrade, giving you flexibility in how you configure your workspace.
