FAQs

Common questions answered.

Five of the questions we hear most often on carpark and street linemarking gear. Full knowledge base on our FAQ page.

  • How do I rate jack stands?

    Tonnage rating is per pair - 2t pair = 1t per stand. Match the pair rating to vehicle weight + safety margin. Light car 2-3t pair. SUV + light truck 3-6t pair. Medium truck 6-12t pair. Heavy truck 12-20t pair. Use stands in pairs; never single-stand a vehicle.

  • Pin or ratchet style?

    Pin-style sets height with a steel locking pin - simple, proven, less mechanism to fail. Ratchet sets height with a ratcheting mechanism - faster adjustment but ratchet pawl can wear or fail under impact. Trade preference is pin-style for primary support stands.

  • Where do I place jack stands?

    Under the manufacturer-specified lift point - unit rail or factory jack point. Hard, level surface only. Soft surface (gravel, dirt, soft asphalt) lets the stand sink. Never place on body panel, suspension component or trim - those can punch through under load.

  • Can I work under a vehicle on jack stands?

    Yes - that is the entire purpose. Stands are the safety redundancy that lets the worker get under. Use stands rated for the vehicle + 1.5x safety margin, place on hard level surface, use in pairs at factory lift points, leave the jack in place as secondary backup. Don't shortcut: jack-stand-failure under load is a workshop fatality cause.

  • What warranty and after-sales service is available for jack stands?

    All jack stands sold through GO Industrial are supplied with the manufacturer's standard warranty, which typically ranges from 12 months to 3 years depending on the product and brand. GO Industrial provides national service support through our Queensland-based technical team and authorised service partners in all Australian states. Warranty claims are managed directly — contact our team with the purchase order number and fault description for assessment. Extended warranty and preventive maintenance programs are available on selected equipment categories.

Jack Stands

Workshop jack stands rated 2t to 12t per pair from TradeQuip and Borum. The safety redundancy when a vehicle is jacked - takes the static load while the jack remains backup. Jack-stand-failure under load is a known workshop fatality cause; never shortcut this purchase.

Sizing. Tonnage rating is per pair - 2t pair = 1t per stand. Match the pair rating to the vehicle weight + safety margin. Light car 2-3t pair. SUV + light truck 3-6t pair. Medium truck 6-12t pair. Heavy truck 12-20t pair. Use stands in pairs (one per side of axle); never single-stand a vehicle.

Pin vs ratchet. Pin-style jack stands set height with a steel locking pin - simple, proven, less mechanism to fail. Ratchet stands set height with a ratcheting mechanism - faster height adjustment but ratchet pawl can wear or fail under impact. Trade preference is pin-style for primary support.

Surface + placement. Hard, level surface only. Soft surface (gravel, dirt, soft asphalt) lets the stand sink under load. Place under the manufacturer-specified lift point - unit rail or factory jack point, not body panel or suspension component. Stands on body panel can punch through under load.
