6 tonne jack stand rubber pads – slotted lift adaptors for frame rails and pinch welds
Overview
These rubber jack pads are a straightforward, no-nonsense way to make lifting a car safer and less fraught. They’re designed for use with most 6 tonne jack stands: the slotted rubber top protects painted or coated suspension and frame areas while giving a better bite between the stand and the vehicle. That extra grip and stability is a proper bonus, especially on damp or greasy surfaces.
What they do and why they matter
Metal-on-metal contact from a stand can mark or bend pinch welds and frame rails. A rubber pad spreads the load a touch, cushions the contact and cuts the chance of deformation. They also help prevent slippage, so you get fewer last-minute adjustments and less faffing about under the car.
- Protects painted and coated suspension parts and pinch welds from damage.
- Slotted shape fits around frame rails and common pinch-weld points for secure contact.
- Rubber material increases grip to stabilise the vehicle during maintenance.
- Helps prevent bending of the frame rails and pinch welds when lifting.
Practical details and compatibility
Each pad is made from durable black rubber to match most workshop kit. They’re built for 6 tonne (6T) jack stands — the standard spec for heavier cars, light vans and most routine garage tasks. The pack contains two pads, so you can fit a pair of stands straight away.
Product dimensions are compact: 7.37 × 4.83 × 2.54 cm and each pad weighs about 90 g, so they’re easy to stash in a toolbox or glovebox. Manufacturer reference / part number: 12G061187 for any compatibility checks.
Typical use cases
- Routine servicing and wheel changes where pinch welds or frame rails are the lifting points.
- Weekend DIY jobs in the driveway or garage — worth having to avoid nasty paint damage.
- Professional workshops that need quick-fitting, non-marring contact between stand and vehicle.
Some useful tips
These pads are handy, but they’re not magic. They fit most 6T jack stands, but it’s sensible to check the stand top and pin size before relying on them for critical lifts. If the vehicle’s pinch welds are badly corroded or damaged, pick an alternative support point. Also, as with any lift: use stands on level ground, chock the wheels and follow safe lifting practice — safety first.
