YELLOW JACKET 6 Ton Jack Stands — Heavy-Duty Double-Locking Steel, Wide Base Pair (15.5"–23.375")

YELLOW JACKET 6 Ton jack stands are heavy-duty, double-locking steel supports designed to hold SUVs and large vehicles safely while you work under them.

Built from stamped and welded steel, these jack stands combine a wide pyramid foot and a large saddle with a dual-safety locking system to provide stable, high-capacity support for heavy vehicles. With a lifting range from 15-1/2" to 23-3/8" and a rated capacity of 6 tons (13,000 lb) per pair, they are engineered for demanding garage and professional shop jobs where extra load-bearing and reliable locking are essential.

How do these jack stands secure a lifted SUV?

These stands use a two-stage safety approach: a sawtooth ratchet bar for quick height setting and a separate metal safety pin to prevent accidental descent. The ratchet bar is forged from ductile iron and the handle doubles as an engagement and release tool for the saddle column.

• Double-locking: ratchet bar plus metal safety pin for redundant protection.
• Sawtooth steps allow incremental height selection and secure engagement.
• Handle design that locks into place and releases the saddle when needed.

What load capacity and height range do these stands support?

Each stand is part of a pair rated to support up to 6 tons (13,000 lb) and adjusts between 15-1/2" and 23-3/8". That height range and capacity make them suitable for larger vehicles, SUVs, and many light trucks when used in pairs and according to safety guidelines.

• Rated capacity: 6 tons (13,000 lb) per pair when used correctly.
• Adjustable height: 15-1/2" minimum to 23-3/8" maximum for common lift requirements.
• Wide saddle and large base to distribute load across the floor surface.

How do these stands perform on different shop surfaces and conditions?

The upgraded wide pyramid base increases surface contact and stability on concrete and paved shop floors, reducing the chance of tipping or sinking. The stamped steel construction with a welded frame and thick forged ratchet bar gives the stands the structural integrity to resist deformation under heavy loads.

• Wide base design improves footing and resists lateral movement.
• Stamped steel and welded frame for long-term durability.
• Forged ratchet bar resists breaking or shearing under stress.

How easy is it to adjust and maintain these jack stands?

Height adjustments are fast thanks to the sawtooth ratchet system; lift the saddle, move the ratchet to the desired notch, and secure the metal pin for extra safety. Routine maintenance is simple—keep moving parts clean, check the pin and ratchet engagement before each use, and inspect for any deformation or corrosion on the welded frame.

• Quick sawtooth ratchet for fast, precise height selection.
• Handle serves as release tool for the saddle column, simplifying operation.
• Minimal upkeep: clean debris, inspect pins and welds regularly.

Who is this for: These YELLOW JACKET 6 Ton jack stands are intended for professional mechanics, serious DIY enthusiasts, and anyone who needs reliable, high-capacity supports for SUVs, full-size trucks, or heavy equipment maintenance. They are ideal when extra load-bearing, wide base stability, and redundant locking are required—use them in pairs, follow vehicle lifting guidelines, and always secure both stands before working beneath a vehicle.
