NORCO 81012 12 TON JACK STAND (PAIR)

Q: How does the spring-loaded pawl system work compared to standard jack stands? A: The spring-loaded pawl maintains constant pressure against the lifting column, unlike standard ratchet systems that can settle or loosen under load. This provides continuous safety engagement throughout the entire support period, eliminating the risk of gradual settling that occurs with conventional pawl mechanisms during extended maintenance operations.

Q: What vehicles can these 12 ton jack stands safely support? A: These stands support heavy trucks, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and commercial vehicles up to 24,000 lbs total capacity when used as a pair. They're specifically designed for fleet garages and industrial applications requiring maximum capacity, including Class 7-8 commercial trucks, farm tractors, excavators, and other heavy equipment commonly found in professional maintenance facilities.

Q: What design differences distinguish these from 6 ton jack stands? A: The 12 ton capacity requires reinforced steel construction, larger 13"x15" base plates, and heavy-duty pawl mechanisms compared to lighter-duty models. The substantial 86 lb weight reflects the enhanced engineering needed for commercial vehicle support, including thicker steel components, wider foot pads for better load distribution, and stronger welded joints throughout the frame structure.

Q: Can I use just one stand instead of buying a pair? A: No, these jack stands must always be used in pairs for proper load distribution and vehicle stability. Single-stand use creates dangerous instability and violates all safety protocols for heavy vehicle maintenance. The pair configuration ensures balanced support across the vehicle's frame, preventing dangerous tipping or shifting that could cause serious injury or equipment damage during repair operations.

Q: What's the height range and how does the adjustment work? A: Height adjusts from 19.625" to 29.375" in precise 1.25" increments, providing nearly 10 inches of adjustment range. The positive lock handle mechanism allows fine-tuning while ensuring the pawl cannot disengage until weight is completely removed from the saddle, preventing accidental lowering during maintenance work on heavy vehicles and equipment.
