A COMPLETE GUIDE TO AXLE STANDS AND FORKLIFT SUPPORT STANDS
When working on vehicles or heavy machinery, stability and safety are essential. Axle stands and forklift support stands play a crucial role in ensuring that vehicles remain securely elevated during maintenance, repairs, or loading operations.
WHAT ARE AXLE STANDS?
Axle stands are sturdy, adjustable supports designed to hold up the axle of a vehicle that has been lifted off the ground. They provide a reliable and secure solution for keeping a vehicle elevated for an extended period, making them essential for mechanics, car enthusiasts, and repair professionals.
WHY ARE AXLE STANDS NECCESSARY?
Safety and Stability: Unlike hydraulic jacks, which can lose pressure over time, Axle Stands/Jack Stands provide a solid, immovable structure to support a vehicle.
Heavy-Duty Construction: Made from high-strength materials such as steel, Axle Stands are built to withstand significant weight loads.
Adjustable Heights: Most Jack Stands come with adjustable settings, allowing users to modify the height according to the specific requirements of the vehicle being worked on.
Essential for Long-Term Support: If a vehicle needs to be elevated for an extended duration, Axle Stands ensure that it remains stable without risk of sudden movement or collapse.
WHAT IS A FORKLIFT SUPPORT STAND?
Forklift Support Stands are a specialised type of Axle stand designed specifically to support forklifts while they are holding heavy loads. These stands provide additional safety by preventing forklifts from unexpectedly lowering their forks due to weight shifts or hydraulic failures.
WHY USE FORKLIFT SUPPORT STANDS?
Prevents Sudden Fork Drop: When a forklift is carrying a heavy load, there is always a risk of the forks lowering unexpectedly. A Forklift Support Stand mitigates this danger.
Enhances Workplace Safety: By stabilising the forklift, these stands reduce the chances of workplace accidents, protecting both workers and equipment.
Built for Heavy Loads: Forklift Support Stands are constructed from robust materials, ensuring they can handle the immense weight typically associated with industrial lifting operations.
