The DAYTONA 3 Ton Heavy Duty Ratcheting Jack Stands provide safe stable support for routine vehicle lifting. With a 3 ton per pair capacity rating and durable steel build, these jack stands are ideal for basic home repairs and maintenance. A self-locking ratchet bar system and reinforced base frame make this Daytona model a garage necessity.
Overview of Key Features
These Daytona jack stands have a 3 ton (6000 lb) capacity rating per matched pair. They feature an all-steel construction designed for longevity.
The ratchet bar system allows height adjustment from 11-3/8 inches up to 16-7/8 inches. Wide footprint bases spread the load protecting flooring.
A ratchet bar lock pin prevents inadvertent failure. With simple operation and sturdy build, these jack stands provide safe DIY support during automotive projects.
3 Ton per Pair Capacity Rating
These Daytona ratcheting jack stands have an impressive 3 ton (6000 lb) weight rating per pair. The substantial rating gives peace of mind when supporting typical passenger vehicles under 6000 pounds gross vehicle weight.
The ample capacity also enables use with light-duty trucks and SUVs:
- Compact sedans and coupes
- Mid-size passenger vehicles
- Light-duty pickup trucks
- SUVs and crossovers
The rated capacity easily handles 1500+ pound axle weights on each stand when supporting routine vehicle makes and models. For DIY users, this Daytona pair provides reliable strength for common repair jobs.
Durable Steel Construction
These Daytona jack stands employ a sturdy all-steel frame to deliver durability. The stands utilize thick 12 gauge sheet steel that resists bending and damage from years of weekend use.
Structural rib reinforcements are incorporated into the frame surrounding the ratchet bar and base feet. This adds important rigidity managing household loads. High-strength ratchet bars maintain vehicles without bending.
A flat upper contact pad and wide base spread concentrated point loads over larger areas. This prevents the jack stand from sinking into soft garage floors when holding routine axle weights. Durable finish resists rust for longevity.
Enclosed Ratchet Bars
Thick steel ratchet bars supply primary vertical support when holding a lifted vehicle. The ratchet teeth engage a spring-loaded pawl that maintains a fixed engaged position under any applied load. This forms a self-locking system that won’t release unintentionally.
To adjust height, a quick-release lever conveniently disengages the pawl allowing the bar to raise or lower smoothly. The ratchet system provides positive engagement every few inches throughout its range.
Shallow angled ratchet teeth enable precise height adjustments and improved stand stability. Deep notches often let supported vehicles settle creating instability problems. The Daytona bars deliver great height variability with solid engagement.
Ratchet Bar Lock Pin
In addition to the self-locking ratchet mechanism, these Daytona jack stands include a ratchet bar lock pin that prevents accidental dislodgment.
Once the ratchet bar is set to the desired support height, insert the attached locking pin through the aligned ratchet holes using its ring. This locks the ratchet system as a redundant safety measure.
The lock pin is integrated into the jack stand base for quick no-hassle insertion whenever utilizing the stands. For safe DIY use, the pin offers inexpensive added peace of mind.
Reinforced Welded Base
The Daytona jack stands sit upon stamped and welded steel base plates maintaining a flat profile important for stability. The reinforced bases resist bending under point loads from supported vehicles.
Compared to basic stands using thin sheet bases, these reinforced stands remain steady supporting routine passenger vehicles and light trucks. Strong welds fuse each base plate to its vertical frame for unified integrity.
The stands also employ large footprint feet for expanded ground contact area. The enlarged base coupled with sturdy construction prevents sinking into soft asphalt or dirt floors when utilizing full rated capacity.
Standard Lift Range
These Daytona jack stands provide approximately 5 inches of lift range between minimum and maximum height settings. Lowering a stand simply involves the quick lever allowing the ratchet bar to gently descend.
The minimum lift height of 11-3/8 inches fits underneath sedans and compact vehicles for access when changing brakes or doing tire service. Maximum extension of 16-7/8 inches reaches the jacking points on small pickups and SUVs for maintenance needs.
The convenient ratchet system allows quick tool-free adjustments through the entire range to suit different sized vehicles. Angled teeth provide precise half-inch height settings and solid engagement at any point.
Durable Construction
These Daytona ratcheting jack stands incorporate quality materials and assembly:
- The 12 gauge steel frame resists bending
- Laser cut components ensure consistency
- Robust welded reinforcements provide strength
- The ratchet pawl creates solid engagement
- A ratchet bar lock pin prevents collapse
