Hi,

I am currently out of stock until mid-February. The price for a pair (2 stands) is $265.00, shipping is not included. My zip code is 60487 to check the shipping cost go UPS.com. The stands are shipped individually 35lbs each. If you're interested in placing an order, send me your billing/shipping information. I will then email a paypal invoice that is payable with most any major credit card, or you may send a check by mail. The order will be shipped after payment is received.

Lift Stands are made of 12ga. steel and have a black durable powder coat finish. A lift stand dimensions are 12"wd. x 18"lg. x 8"high. The extended height is 14 inches. The inside section of the top tire pan is 11"x11"x 1.5" deep. The locking pins are spring loaded, and made with .375 inch stainless steel. One stand weighs 35 lbs. with a maximum load rating of 2000 lbs. Four stands will support an 8,000 lbs. vehicle. Any floor jack that is less than 12 inches wide can be used. Warranty is 1 year on product to be free from physical defects in material and workmanship.

They look pretty good mate, I currently have my car up on 4 chassis stands and I hate it and it isn't high enough.

 

The only thing is that its not often I get under the car without taking off at least one wheel to get to something, other than to do oil changes, so I don't know that they would get used that often.

 

At the moment I need to have all 4 wheels off so those stands would be useless

Handy if you don't want to buy a full sized jack I suppose (mine would lift straight to full height in one go, instead of three separate actions per end, can lift it straight onto a decent height set of ramps).

I really like the wooden stackable wheel stands, going to make me a set one day:

Buy the 6 tonne stands, they don't cost too much more than the 2-3 tonne ones and are quite a bit taller

Eww sorry, not for me, if I'm going under a car I'd like to think there's more than a couple of sticks of pine and a handful of wood screws holding it up!

Those bits of wood are far stronger than the stands shown in the original post... (which are adequate anyway)
