The DAYTONA 6 Ton Heavy Duty Ratcheting Jack Stands provide rugged stability for routine automotive lifting jobs. With a 6 ton per pair weight rating and durable steel construction, these jack stands deliver strength for DIY maintenance and repairs. An enclosed ratchet bar system, integrated safety pin, and reinforced base frame combine to make these Daytona stands a shop garage essential.
Overview of Key Features
These Daytona jack stands feature a 6 ton (12,000 lb) capacity rating per pair. They have an all-steel frame and thick ratchet bar designed for durability.
The enclosed ratchet system allows quick height adjustments from 15-1/4 inches up to 23-3/4 inches. A side-mounted safety pin locks in the ratchet height position.
Reinforced steel bases spread heavy point loads over an increased surface area protecting garage flooring. With sturdy build quality and safety locks, these jack stands provide stable support for common repair jobs.
6 Ton per Pair Capacity Rating
These Daytona ratcheting jack stands have an impressive 6 ton (12,000 lb) weight rating per matched pair. The sizable rating gives a generous overhead margin when supporting typical passenger vehicles under 6000 pounds gross vehicle weight.
The enhanced capacity also allows use with moderately sized vehicles:
- Full-size pickup trucks
- Full-size vans and SUVs
- Heavy-duty auto service
- Agricultural equipment
The rated capacity easily handles 3000+ pound axle weights on each stand when supporting heavier trucks and machines. For DIY users, the Daytona pair provides strength for routine repair jobs.
Durable Steel Construction
These Daytona jack stands feature an all-steel structural frame to provide maximum durability. The stands utilize thick 11 gauge sheet steel that resists bending and impact damage during years of use.
Structural rib reinforcements are integrated into the frame surrounding the ratchet bar and base legs. This adds critical rigidity managing substantial loads. Thick steel ratchet bars support vehicles without distortion.
A flat upper contact pad and wide base feet spread concentrated loads over larger surface areas. This prevents the jack stands from sinking into soft garage floors when holding heavy axle weights. Durable finish resists scuffs, rust, and moisture.
Enclosed Ratchet Bars
Thick steel ratchet bars supply primary vertical support when loaded under a lifted vehicle. The ratchet teeth engage a spring-loaded pawl that maintains a constant locked position under any applied load. This forms a secure self-locking system that won’t release accidentally.
For height adjustments, a quick-release lever conveniently disengages the pawl allowing the bar to smoothly raise or lower as needed. The ratchet system provides positive engagement every few inches throughout the bar’s range.
Shallow angled ratchet teeth allow fine-tune height adjustments and improved stand stability. Deep notches often let supported vehicles settle creating instability issues. The Daytona ratchet bars deliver excellent height variability with consistent solid engagement.
Side-Mounted Safety Pin
In addition to the self-locking ratchet mechanism, these Daytona jack stands incorporate a side-mounted locking pin that prevents unintended dislodgment of the ratchet bar.
Once the ratchet bar is set to the desired support height, simply insert the attached pin through the aligned ratchet holes using its ring. This locks the ratchet system providing added safety redundancy.
The locking pin is conveniently mounted to the jack stand frame allowing quick no-hassle insertion whenever utilizing the stands. For daily home use, the pin provides inexpensive added peace of mind.
Reinforced Welded Base
The Daytona jack stands sit upon reinforced welded base plates that maintain a flat profile critical for stability. The beefy steel lower plates resist bending under point loads from supported vehicles.
Compared to basic stands using thin sheet bases, these reinforced stands remain steady under loaded vehicles with minimal settling. Full-penetration welds fuse each base plate to its vertical frame creating rock-solid unibody integrity.
The stands also employ wide footprint feet providing increased surface contact area. Expanded base surface coupled with sturdy welded construction prevent sinking into soft asphalt or dirt floors when using the full rated capacity.
Standard Lift Range
These Daytona jack stands provide approximately 8 inches of lift range between minimum and maximum height settings. Lowering a stand simply involves releasing the quick lever allowing the ratchet bar to gently descend down.
The minimum lift height of 15-1/4 inches fits underneath compact cars and some trucks for access when changing brakes or tires. Maximum extension height of 23-3/4 inches reaches the jacking points on larger SUVs and vans for maintenance.
The enclosed ratchet system allows quick tool-free adjustments through the entire range to suit different sized vehicles. Shallow angled teeth provide precise half-inch height adjustments and solid engagement at any point.
Reliable Construction
These Daytona ratcheting jack stands incorporate quality materials and manufacturing:
- Thick 11 gauge steel frame resists bending
