BIG RED T43202 Torin Heavy Duty Steel Jack Stands: 3 Ton (6,000 lb) Capacity Car Lifting Stand,1 Pair (Not Suitable for SUV,Truck)

What It Is

The BIG RED T43202 Torin Heavy Duty Steel Jack Stands are a pair of 3-ton (6,000 lb) capacity lifting stands designed for safely supporting cars, lawn tractors, ATVs, and other light-duty equipment during maintenance or storage. They are not suitable for SUVs, trucks, or heavy commercial vehicles.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Capacity: Each stand supports 3 tons (6,000 lbs) with a pair rated for 6 tons (12,000 lbs) total. Ensure your mower or vehicle’s weight does not exceed 3,000 lbs per stand.
• Lift Range: Adjustable from 11-1/4 inches to 16-3/4 inches high. Measure the clearance under your mower’s frame or axle to ensure the stands can reach and support it.
• Base Size: 9.5 x 8.5 inches. Verify your mower’s frame or jack points are wide enough to sit securely on the saddle (curved top) without tipping.
• Mower Fit: Works with most residential riding mowers, zero-turn mowers, and garden tractors (e.g., John Deere, Cub Cadet, Husqvarna, Troy-Bilt) if the frame is accessible. Not for push mowers or small walk-behinds.
• Jack Point: Use only on reinforced frame rails, axle housings, or designated jack points—never on plastic decks, fuel tanks, or unibody panels.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Heavy-duty steel construction with a wide base for stability. The locking pin and ratchet bar mechanism is reliable but requires both hands to adjust.
• Installation: No assembly needed. Place on solid, level ground; never use on dirt, gravel, or asphalt that may sink. Always pair with a hydraulic jack for lifting.
• Common Gotchas: The saddle (curved top) may not grip round axles or tubular frames securely—add rubber pads or wood blocks for better contact. Not intended for long-term storage; use as a safety stand only during work. The 3-ton rating is per stand, but the pair’s combined capacity is 6 tons—do not exceed per-stand limits.
• Safety: Always lower the mower onto the stands gently, never drop it. Chock wheels and engage parking brake before lifting.

Should You Buy It

Buy these if you need a budget-friendly, reliable pair of stands for light-duty lifting of riding mowers, ATVs, or cars up to 3,000 lbs per side, and you work on level concrete or pavement. Skip them if you need stands for heavy trucks, SUVs, or uneven terrain, or if you require a flat-top saddle for tube frames.
