Overview
Sunex built the 6809A to hold vehicle components from below while the car or truck is raised on a hoist. A spin handle on a bearing turns a self-locking ACME screw to set the saddle height, and a round base spreads the load on the shop floor.
Shops with a vehicle lift get a stand that reaches up to the underside and can be fine tuned under load, which helps when lowering a drivetrain part or exhaust. The rating covers components only, and the tall column needs a hoist to be useful.
Who it's for
Mechanics working under a raised vehicle on exhaust, drivetrain or suspension jobs get a support that meets the part at height. Home garages without a lift will find no use for its tall range.
Pros and cons
- Screw adjustment works under load
- Self-locking screw holds set height
- Bearing mounted spin handle
- Contoured saddle cradles components
- Needs a vehicle hoist to be useful
- Rated for components, not whole vehicles
- Saddle size not listed
Performance notes
Height is set by the threaded screw, so the saddle can be raised or lowered in fine steps while a part rests on it, and the self-locking thread resists turning back down. The base width governs how steady the column stays at full height, and a load placed off center on the saddle reduces that margin.
