Amazon Basics Steel Jack Stands 3-Ton Pair, Adjustable Height, Self-Locking Ratchet (Black/Red)

Amazon Basics steel jack stands are a pair of adjustable, 3-ton (6,000 lb) capacity vehicle supports designed to safely hold sedans and urban SUVs while you work beneath the vehicle.

These Amazon Basics jack stands combine a sturdy steel frame with a self-locking ratchet mechanism for fast height adjustment and stable support. Coated to resist corrosion and sized for common passenger cars and light SUVs, the pair provides an affordable option for routine maintenance, tire changes, and garage projects. They meet ASME PASE-2014 guidelines for portable automotive service equipment and include a one-year limited warranty.

How do these jack stands secure a raised vehicle?

The stands use a self-locking ratchet bar that snaps into place as you lift to the desired height, eliminating the need for a separate locking pin. The wide base and steel construction give a stable footprint while weight capacity is clearly labeled on each stand for quick reference.

• Self-locking ratchet bar for quick, tool-free height setting
• Wide triangular base for improved ground contact and stability
• Stamped weight capacity on each stand for easy identification

What heights and load limits are available for routine maintenance?

Each stand adjusts across multiple ratchet positions to accommodate typical service heights for sedans and smaller SUVs. The rated capacity is 3 tons (2.7 metric tons) per stand — 6,000 lb — which is appropriate when used as a matched pair under manufacturer-recommended lift points.

• Adjustable ratchet positions for common maintenance heights
• 3-ton (2.7 metric ton) capacity per stand, 6,000 lb rating
• Designed for sedans, crossovers, and urban SUVs when used properly

Are these stands durable and suitable for a garage environment?

The frames are constructed from heavy-gauge steel with a protective rust-resistant finish to withstand shop conditions and seasonal storage. The simple, mechanical design minimizes maintenance while providing long service life when used on firm, level surfaces.

• Durable steel construction with corrosion-resistant coating
• Low-maintenance ratchet system with no separate pins to misplace
• Backed by an Amazon Basics limited one-year warranty

How should I use these stands safely with my vehicle?

Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s lift points and use a properly rated jack to raise the vehicle before positioning the stands. Ensure the car is on a level, solid surface, set the parking brake, and place wheel chocks on the remaining wheels before lowering the vehicle onto the stands.

• Use a compatible jack to raise vehicle to recommended support points
• Place stands under manufacturer-specified contact locations only
• Confirm stability before working under the vehicle and use wheel chocks
