ESCO 12501 55 Ton Steel Jack Stand - 3" Height

ESCO 55 ton interlock steel jack stand with 3-inch height for heavy equipment cribbing and support

The 55 ton interlock steel jack stand from ESCO is built for serious support in heavy-duty applications where safety, stability, and compact height matter. At just 3 inches tall, this unit is ideal for low-clearance jobs, rigging prep, or supplementing hydraulic lifting systems - especially in tight or confined spaces where traditional jack stands won’t fit. It's a go-to solution when bottle jacks alone don’t cut it and you need solid cribbing that won’t shift or crumble.

This isn’t your average shop stand. The interlocking design prevents lateral movement under load, which is critical when you’re working on uneven ground or stacking for height. Unlike wood cribbing that splinters or wobbles, this steel construction delivers rock-solid confidence and repeatable performance in field service, construction, or mining sites where the load can’t fail.

What Makes This 55 Ton Jack Stand Different?

While many stands rely on size or shape alone, ESCO’s interlocking feature gives a distinct advantage: safer stacking. The ability to nest securely with other units allows you to build stable platforms for tall lifts without compromising safety. It’s made from high-strength steel and designed for extreme loads, which makes it perfect as part of a hydraulic lifting setup or jack pad solution.

  • Stacks securely to increase height when paired with bottle jacks
  • Steel build resists deformation, splintering, and wear

How It Performs on the Job

Expect reliable support and zero wiggle once it’s in place. It’s especially useful in industrial tire service, heavy equipment repair, or as a stable base during transport trailer lifts. The 3-inch height is purpose-built for clearance-challenged lifts - think low frame points, tank treads, or equipment stored on-grade.

Ideal For:

  • Heavy machinery maintenance in mining, oil, or construction
  • Stacking under bottle jacks for added height
  • Mobile service trucks needing compact yet capable cribbing

Why It's Worth Buying

This stand delivers a combination of ultra-low profile and ultra-high capacity - something most alternatives can’t. It’s also modular, so you can keep a few on hand and stack as needed, unlike one-size jacks that either don’t fit or sit too tall. Backed by ESCO's industry reputation, it's a tool that shows up every time the load is heavy and the margin for error is zero.

  • Low 3" profile fits under tight-clearance loads
  • Outperforms traditional wood or plastic cribbing in strength and durability
