BIG RED 3-Ton Jack Stands 1 Pair — 11-1/4" to 16-3/4" Adjustable Steel with Ratchet Lock

BIG RED T43202 Torin 3-ton steel jack stands are a welded, forged-steel pair of supports that hold vehicles securely from 11-1/4" to 16-3/4" after lifting.

These Torin BIG RED T43202 jack stands are built to keep a lifted car steady while you work beneath it. Made from high-grade forged steel with a welded-frame design, the pair combines a wide pyramid base and a broad saddle to increase stability and contact area. The ratchet-style, multi-position support bar with a sawtooth profile lets you set height quickly and locks into place for safe support; the stands meet ASME safety standards and include a one-year limited warranty.

How do these jack stands secure my vehicle during maintenance?

The stands lock at chosen heights using a ratchet bar and a double-pawl tooth system that resists downward movement. The large saddle helps spread load pressure, while the broad base reduces tipping risk on flat surfaces.

• 3-ton (6,000 lb) rated capacity per stand pair suitable for many cars and light trucks
• Sawtooth ratchet bar locks into position for positive engagement
• Wide pyramid foot base improves footprint and resistance to shifting

What height range and adjustability do these stands offer?

Each stand adjusts from a low 11-1/4" to a taller 16-3/4", covering common lift heights for routine repairs and inspections. Adjustment is fast: lift the ratchet bar into the desired notch and it locks automatically, so you can set both stands to equal heights without tools.

• Minimum height: 11-1/4" for low-clearance vehicles
• Maximum height: 16-3/4" for higher lift needs
• Multi-position notches for incremental, repeatable changes

What construction and safety features improve durability and reliability?

The T43202 uses forged steel components and welded supports to resist deformation under load. It incorporates a double locking pawl and tooth system plus ASME-tested strength for workplace or home-garage use, giving confidence during use when paired with a proper lifting jack and flat support surface.

• High-grade forged steel frame with welded joints for long-term strength
• Double locking pawl and sawtooth ratchet for extra protection against slippage
• Tested to ASME standards and backed by a limited one-year manufacturer warranty

How should I use and store these stands to stay safe and prolong their life?

Always place stands on solid level ground and use a compatible jack to lift the vehicle to the chosen points before lowering onto the stands. After use, clean off dirt and store them where moisture is limited to reduce corrosion; inspect teeth and pawl engagement before each use.

• Use matching pair for balanced support; do not exceed weight rating
• Check saddle seating and pawl engagement before entering the work area
• Keep stands dry and store indoors to avoid rust and wear

Who is this for? The BIG RED T43202 Torin 3-ton jack stands suit home mechanics, hobbyists, and light-shop technicians who service small cars, crossovers, and light-duty trucks. They’re designed for those who need rugged, easy-to-adjust supports that meet standard safety testing and provide a stable platform for under-vehicle work—provided the vehicle weight and clearance fall within the stands’ limits.
