Jack stands
Jack stands are essential safety devices used to support a lifted vehicle. Always use jack stands after raising a vehicle with a jack — never rely on the jack alone.
What are lifts?
are adjustable metal supports designed to hold vehicles at a fixed height. They provide a stable and secure base when performing maintenance, tire changes, or underbody work.
Common types
- Ratchet-type jack stands — fast height adjustment using a ratchet bar.
- Pin-type jack stands — use a steel pin through holes for secure locking.
- Folding/carriage jack stands — compact, portable stands for limited space.
- Heavy-duty jack stands — higher load ratings for trucks and SUVs.
How to choose the right
- Check the load capacity — choose stands rated above your vehicle's axle load (common ratings: 2 ton, 3 ton, 6 ton).
- Prefer stands with a wide base and good build quality (welded steel).
- Use matching pairs and place stands on solid, level ground.
Basic usage steps
- Park on level ground, apply parking brake, block wheels.
- Raise the vehicle with an appropriate jack to the required height.
- Place jack stands under manufacturer-recommended jacking points.
- Lower the vehicle slowly onto the stands and ensure stability before working.
Safety tips
- Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
- Always use stands in matched pairs and on firm surfaces.
- Inspect stands for cracks, bent parts, or damaged welds before use.
- Use wheel chocks and consider secondary supports for extra safety.
