Inground muscle without inground worries

Everything that used to make shops nervous about inground lifts — contamination, corrosion, wear — is engineered out of the EV series.

Sealed cassette containment

The fully-contained, sealed recycled-polymer cassette tub eliminates the risk of hydraulic fluid seeping into the ground — inground convenience without the environmental exposure.

8½" chrome pistons

Big chrome guide plungers and a non-breathing ram-style cylinder deliver stability under load and longer lift life, with raised wipers that keep grease in and contaminants out of the bearings.

A lock every 3 inches

The mechanical lock engages every 3", so technicians work at an ergonomic height instead of the nearest one — released by a corrosion-resistant stainless steel air cylinder.

The data plate

The numbers that matter — straight from Challenger's spec sheet.

Will it fit your shop?

Three numbers decide it. Send us these and we'll confirm the fit — inground installs also need a slab plan, which we handle.

70"
Rise height

Full working clearance under the pads — plan ceiling height as rise plus your tallest vehicle.

79¾"
Overall width

The above-floor footprint of the pad superstructure — the power source lives in the sealed cassette below the slab, so the bay floor stays clear.

90–120 psi
Air supply

Shop air required for the stainless steel lock release cylinder — standard compressor range.
