Full details

These Streetwize 2 Tonne Axle Stands are designed for home mechanics and professionals performing maintenance and repairs on vehicles. Their key benefit is providing a safe and stable support system for vehicles once the jack has lifted them, allowing for hands-free work underneath. A caveat to consider is that they are sold as a pair, and ensuring the correct load rating for your vehicle is crucial for safety. The stands feature a USA-style ratchet mechanism for easy height adjustment and are GS/TUV/CE approved, ensuring a level of safety and quality assurance.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight capacity per axle stand?

Each Streetwize Axle Stand has a maximum load capacity of 2 Tonne (2000 kg).

Are these stands suitable for all vehicles?

They are suitable for vehicles with a combined weight on the supported end not exceeding the total capacity of the stands used (e.g., up to 4 tonnes for a pair if balanced). Always check your vehicle's weight and consult compatibility guides.

Do I need a jack to use these axle stands?

Yes, you will need a separate jack to lift the vehicle before positioning the axle stands for support.

What does GS/TUV/CE approval mean?

These certifications indicate that the product has undergone rigorous testing and meets established safety and quality standards set by European regulatory bodies.

Can I use just one axle stand?

For safety, it is generally recommended to use axle stands in pairs (or fours) to support the vehicle evenly and stably. Never rely on a single stand unless specifically instructed by a manufacturer for a very particular task, which is rare.

How should I clean and store the axle stands?

Clean off any dirt or grease with a cloth. Store them in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Inspect them for damage before each use.

What is the 'USA Style' feature?

The 'USA Style' refers to the ratchet mechanism design, which typically offers a robust and easy-to-use system for adjusting the height of the stand.

Troubleshooting

Axle stand is unstable

Ensure the vehicle is on a perfectly flat, level, and solid surface. Check that the base of the stand is fully in contact with the ground and not obstructed. Verify the vehicle's weight is within the stand's capacity and evenly distributed.

Ratchet mechanism is stiff or difficult to adjust

Clean any dirt or debris from the ratchet mechanism. Apply a small amount of lubricating oil. Ensure the stand is not under load when adjusting.

Stand does not seem to hold the vehicle securely

Re-check the vehicle's weight against the stand's capacity. Ensure the stand is positioned correctly on a designated strong point of the vehicle's chassis and not on a weaker component. Verify the ratchet lock is fully engaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the vehicle is on a flat, level, and solid surface.
  2. Use a suitable jack to lift the vehicle to the desired height.
  3. Place the Streetwize Axle Stands under the vehicle's designated strong points (refer to your vehicle's manual).
  4. Adjust the height of each stand using the ratchet mechanism until it securely contacts the chassis.
  5. Slowly lower the vehicle onto the axle stands, ensuring they are stable and correctly positioned.
  6. *Never* work under a vehicle supported only by a jack.

Compatibility:

  • Each stand has a maximum load capacity of 2 Tonne (2000 kg). Ensure the total weight of the end of the vehicle being supported does not exceed the combined capacity of the stands used.
  • Always verify that the stand's jacking points align with your vehicle's designated support locations.
  • Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific jacking and support point locations.
  • Important: Double-check all product information and compatibility guides before purchase, as variants are common.

Care:

  • Inspect the axle stands for any signs of damage, wear, or deformation before each use.
  • Clean any dirt, grease, or debris from the stands after use.
  • Store the axle stands in a dry environment to prevent rust.
  • Do not exceed the maximum load capacity.
