Overview
Truck shops and outdoor jobs on asphalt or sand are where this heavy stand belongs. A round tube center post rises through a formed and welded steel frame, set with a chained locking pin, while the wide spun steel foot resists sinking into soft ground.
Stability on soft ground is the reason to own it: the spun steel foot spreads the load so it does not dig into asphalt or sand. The chained pin cannot go missing between jobs. Expect a heavy, tall stand built for trucks rather than sedans.
Who it's for
Fleet shops, farm work and roadside truck service on soft surfaces suit it well. Owners of cars and lowered vehicles will find the starting height too tall.
Pros and cons
- Wide spun steel foot resists sinking
- Locking pin chained to the stand
- Welded steel construction for heavy loads
- Limited lifetime warranty
- Sold individually, pairs recommended
- Too tall for low cars
- Heavy to carry around the shop
- Large footprint needs floor space
Performance notes
Load travels through the round center post into the welded frame and is spread by the spun steel foot, which is why soft surfaces do not swallow it. The pin through the post sets the height, so seat it fully at the chosen setting before lowering the jack. Using two at matching settings shares the load evenly.
