A height-adjustable under-vehicle support with a rubber-coated top-plate for grip. Designed to steady specific components while work is carried out beneath a vehicle.
Secure component support – thanks to round rubber coated top-plate
A round top-plate finished in rubber increases friction where the stand meets metal parts, helping to reduce slipping during positioning. The cradle measures 150 mm by 60 mm to locate narrower components reliably.
Improved grip keeps exhausts and suspension parts steady while repairs proceed, reducing the need for re-positioning. Safer contact points lower the chance of accidental movement during work.
Quick, accurate height setting – with bearing-mounted spin handle
Raising and lowering is controlled via a bearing-mounted spin handle that turns smoothly under load. The mechanism adjusts the support between 1320 mm and 1900 mm.
Fast, precise height changes speed up set-up and help align components without repeated manual lifting. Smooth control reduces operator fatigue during multi-step repairs.
Space-saving storage – thanks to removable base
A detachable base allows the stand to be broken down for storage when not in use. The base footprint measures 300 mm, making it compact for workshop racks or vehicle toolboxes.
Workshop space is conserved by stowing the stand away between jobs, keeping floors clear and making transport easier. Compact storage helps smaller garages remain organised.
