Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Omega 31500 and 31501 auxiliary stand models?

The 31500 uses a manual adjustment mechanism and does not include a foot pedal, making it a straightforward option for controlled, incremental positioning. The 31501 adds a foot pedal to help move and fine-tune loads more easily during service. Both models share a 1500-lb capacity and the same 53-3/4" to 78-7/8" height range.

Can this auxiliary stand support the full weight of a vehicle?

No. This stand is intended for partial support of components—such as exhaust sections, shocks, and suspension parts—while the vehicle is already safely lifted. It is not a primary lifting or stabilizing device. Always use certified lifts or jack stands for vehicle support and follow your shop's safety procedures.

How does this compare to jack stands for automotive work?

Jack stands are designed to support the vehicle's weight for stability during service. An auxiliary stand like the 31500 supports individual components, helping you align, hold, or position parts during removal and installation. Use it alongside your primary lifting equipment to gain precise control without transferring full vehicle load to the stand.

What types of automotive components can this auxiliary stand support?

It's ideal for exhaust assemblies, shock absorbers, struts, and various suspension or steering components up to 1500 lbs. The rubber-capped saddle helps protect surfaces, while the 12-inch base improves stability during delicate alignment and bolt-up tasks. Use it to hold parts steady as you torque fasteners or verify clearances.
