Rotary Lift has come out with a supplementary jack stand that it says will stabilize vehicles loaded on two-post surface and inground lifts. The new tripod jack stand has a 4,000 pound capacity and can be raised to a maximum height of seven feet.
“If you look at any new two-post or inground vehicle lift, you’ll see a decal that recommends the use of supplementary stands when removing heavy components,” says Ron Lainhart, parts & service manager for Rotary Lift, in a press release.
“That’s because the removal of heavy parts, like a transmission and differentials, can cause a shift in the vehicle’s centre of gravity,” he says, adding a supplementary stand can help prevent instability when removing heavy components.
The company says these stands are easy to set up.
Technicians can use the RS4 jack stand by pulling the locking pin from the top of the stand, raising the column to a desired height and then reinserting the pin. A screw up adapter at the top of the column can be fine adjusted with a range of 5.5. inches and is fitted with a rubber contact pad for a secure connection with the vehicle.
