  • Jack Stand

The JSA Type Jack Stand offers a quick and secure solution for vehicle support. Featuring a ductile iron ratchet bar with multi-position teeth, it allows for fast height adjustment and positive locking. Available in capacities from 2 to 12 tonnes, it's suitable for everything from passenger cars to heavy industrial trucks.

⚠️ SAFETY WARNING: USE IN PAIRS.
Jack stands are designed to support loads ONLY. Never use a hydraulic jack alone to hold a vehicle. Always use stands in pairs on a single axle on level ground.
⚙️ Ratchet Locking

Features a ductile iron ratchet bar for quick height adjustment. The self-locking mechanism engages automatically as the handle is released, preventing accidental lowering.

⚖️ 2T - 12T Capacity

Available in a wide range of capacities (per pair) to suit any vehicle, from lightweight cars (2 Ton) to heavy commercial trucks (12 Ton).

🔧 Dual Purpose Handle

The steel handle acts as both a lock release mechanism and a convenient carry handle, making it easy to position and transport around the workshop.

🏗️ Stable Support

Designed with a sturdy welded steel frame and anti-sink feet to provide maximum stability on various surfaces. Large saddles ensure positive contact with the chassis.

ℹ️ Pin Type Option: Prefer a pin lock? Check out our Jack Stand JSC Type.
ℹ️ Sold in Pairs: Capacity ratings are "per pair". Ensure your vehicle weight does not exceed the limit.

Q: How do I adjust the height of the JSA jack stand? A: Simply pull the handle up to release the lock, lift the ratchet bar to the desired height, and let the handle drop back down to engage the teeth. Always ensure the teeth are fully engaged before lowering the load.
Q: What is the difference between JSA and JSB/JSC types? A: The JSA Type uses a ratchet mechanism for fast adjustment. The JSB and JSC types typically use a pin locking mechanism, which is slower to adjust but preferred by some for heavy-duty static loads.

Selecting the Correct Jack

Jacks may be hydraulic or mechanical in operation and are available in a wide range of capacities and designs. Proper selection is critical for safety.

Key Considerations:

  • Type: Hydraulic, ratchet, screw, or journal jack.
  • Dimensions: Capacity, closed height, lifting height, and overall dimensions.
  • Accessories: Toe/claw attachments, screwed ram with locking collar, calibrated gauges for load measurement.
  • Support: Packing materials needed during jacking and to support the load once raised.

Safety Guidelines

Always

  • Store and handle jacks correctly.
  • Inspect jacks before use and before placing into storage.
  • Ensure the surface is level, even, and capable of taking the imposed load.
  • Ensure the jack is positioned so the load is applied in the correct plane.
  • Use packing capable of withstanding loads without crushing.
  • Lift and lower in small stages using support packing to minimize load falls.

Never

  • Never obliquely load (side load) jacks.
  • Never raise the load higher than necessary.
  • Never over-extend the jack beyond its rated stroke.
  • Never leave a load supported solely on jacks (use stands/packing).
  • Never reach under a load supported by jacks.
  • Never work or climb on a load supported by jacks.

Operation & Maintenance

Using Jacks Safely

Multiple Jacks: Most operations require multiple jacks. It is impossible to raise/lower them in perfect unison, causing uneven loading. Ensure jack capacity is adequate to handle load transfer. Keep the load level.

Floor Stability: Ensure the floor can withstand the point load. Use floor plates to spread the load if necessary. Avoid buried cables or pipes.

Contact: The jack head must be in full, firm contact with the jacking point. Use packers to prevent slipping.

Storage & Handling

Store jacks upright with the ram/rack/screw fully lowered to protect them from damage. Remove handles/levers and store separately. Never store damaged jacks.

In-service Inspection

Clean jacks regularly to remove dirt from racks, screws, and seals. Check hydraulic oil levels. Lubricate moving mechanical parts.

Defects to Watch For:

  • Failure to lift or lower; load slipping/creeping.
  • Cracked or distorted body/base.
  • Bent operating levers.
  • Hydraulic: Oil leaks, scored/distorted rams, inoperative release valves.
  • Mechanical: Chipped/worn rack teeth or screws, seized swivel heads.
⚠️ WARNING: Excessive grease on ratchet jacks can cause the holding pawl to stick, potentially dropping the load.

Jack Stands (Vehicle Support)

Essential Safety Support for Maintenance & Repairs
Heavy Duty Steel Safety Locking Mechanism Adjustable Height Stable Base

Product Overview

Jack stands are critical safety tools designed to support vehicles or heavy loads after they have been lifted by a hydraulic jack. Unlike jacks, which are for lifting, stands provide a rigid, static support platform to ensure the load remains secure during maintenance.

Common Applications:

  • Automotive maintenance (oil changes, tire rotation).
  • Undercarriage repairs on trucks and heavy machinery.
  • Stabilizing trailers or equipment during storage.

Key Features & Design

Locking Mechanism

Essential for preventing accidental lowering. Common types include Ratchet (Pawl) Locks for quick adjustment or Pin Locks for heavy-duty, double-shear security.

Adjustable Height

Features a central ductile iron column with teeth or pin holes, allowing users to extend the stand to the precise height required to reach vehicle lifting points.

Stable Base Design

Typically features a wide tripod or quadripod base with welded foot pads to resist sinking into asphalt and provide maximum stability on various surfaces.

Heavy Duty Materials

Constructed from high-grade steel with a stamped or welded frame to ensure structural integrity and high load-bearing capacity.

⚠️ Critical Safety Precautions

To ensure a secure working environment:

  • Always Use in Pairs: Support the front or rear of the vehicle evenly.
  • Hard, Level Surface: Never use on grass, gravel, or slopes. Use on concrete.
  • Lifting Points: Position stands only under manufacturer-recommended chassis points.
  • Weight Capacity: Ensure the rated capacity exceeds the weight of the load.

Usage & Maintenance

Proper Operation: Lift the vehicle with a jack, place stands, and slowly lower the vehicle onto the stands before beginning work.

Maintenance:

  • Inspect regularly for cracks, bent metal, or rust.
  • Lubricate the locking pawl/pin mechanism.
  • Replace immediately if any damage is found.
