Axle Stands
JCB axle stands provide the stable, rated support that makes working under a vehicle safe. The range covers ratchet stands in 2-tonne and 3-tonne for passenger car work, 6-tonne for light commercial vehicles and larger cars, and heavy-duty vehicle support stands in 10-tonne, 15-tonne, 20-tonne and 25-tonne capacities for commercial, agricultural and plant work. All feature welded steel construction, ratchet-locking adjustment and rated load certification. The 2-tonne and 3-tonne ratchet stands are sold in pairs; larger capacity stands are sold individually or in pairs depending on the model. Always use axle stands in conjunction with a hydraulic jack — never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
Frequently Asked Questions
What capacity axle stands do I need?
Choose stands rated above the corner weight of the vehicle. For passenger cars: 2-tonne. For vans and 4x4s: 3-tonne minimum. For light commercial vehicles: 6-tonne. For agricultural and heavy commercial: 10–25 tonne. The JCB range covers 2T through to 25T.
Are JCB axle stands sold in pairs?
The 2-tonne and 3-tonne ratchet stands are sold in pairs. The larger capacity heavy-duty stands (10T, 15T, 20T, 25T) are available individually or in pairs depending on the model. Check individual product listings for pack quantity.
Do I need axle stands if I have a trolley jack?
Yes, always. A hydraulic jack lifts the vehicle; axle stands hold it safely at working height. Hydraulic jacks can slowly lose pressure and should never be the sole support when working beneath a vehicle. Always lower onto rated axle stands after raising with the jack.
