Draper 01815 pneumatic ratcheting axle stands – pair, 10 tonne
If you want a pair of heavy-duty axle stands that speed up lifting and supporting a vehicle without the usual faff, the Draper 01815s are well worth a gander. They use an internal gas strut so the post rises pneumatically when you pull the lever — no awkward hand‑pumping or wrestling the saddle into place. That’s a proper bonus on cold, grim mornings or in a busy, cluttered garage.
features and benefits
Built for workshop use or keen DIYers, these stands make lining up the saddle quick and straightforward. The pneumatic auto‑rise gives a smooth, controlled lift and a positive locking pin keeps the saddle firmly in position once you’ve picked the height. The extra‑wide base improves stability on concrete or slightly uneven floors, so you can get on with wheel or axle work with more confidence. They’re dead simple to use — pull the lever, let the post rise and lower the vehicle onto the saddle. No batteries, no faff.
- 10 tonne capacity (pair) — plenty of lifting power for cars, larger family vans or light commercial jobs
- Internal gas strut delivers a smooth, controlled rise of the saddle when the lever is used
- Positive locking pin secures the chosen height for safe, steady working
- Wide base design reduces wobble and helps prevent tipping while you work
- Simple, robust construction that stands up to everyday garage use
typical uses and why they help
Ideal for mechanics, mobile technicians and hands‑on home mechanics. Use them for wheel removal, axle servicing, brake work or any job that needs stable support at a sensible working height. They cut out the faff of lengthy set‑ups and balancing acts, speeding the job up and making it safer. And when it’s nippy outside, the quick auto‑rise saves time and spares your fingers from freezing while you mess about under the car.
