Frequently Asked Questions
How do these compare to flat-top jack stands?
The axle post design provides superior grip on curved surfaces like axle tubes and round frame rails where flat tops can slip. While flat stands work well on level surfaces, these axle post stands excel with trucks, SUVs, and vehicles with tubular construction where positive contact is essential for safety.
What's the difference between pin-lock and ratchet mechanisms?
Pin-lock systems use a solid steel pin through aligned holes, creating a mechanical lock that can't slip under load. Ratchet mechanisms rely on teeth and pawls that can potentially fail or slip if debris interferes with engagement. Pin-lock provides more positive, reliable holding power.
Are these jack stands suitable for professional shop use?
Yes, these ESCO stands are built to professional standards and tested to ASME specifications by an A2LA certified facility. The heavy-duty construction, 6,000 lb capacity per stand, and reliable pin-lock system make them ideal for commercial automotive service environments.
Will these work with my lifted truck or SUV?
The 13.2" to 21.5" height range and axle post design make these excellent for lifted vehicles. The conventional axle saddle grips securely on round axle housings and frame rails common in truck applications, providing stable support even at extended heights.
