Draper Expert 20117 high-level 10 tonne axle stand
This high-level axle stand is made for the proper heavy-duty jobs where you need rock-solid support. If you’re working on large goods vehicles, HGVs, trucks or buses, it’s a far safer, more reliable option than the dainty stands you see sometimes. It’s not a gimmick — it’s proper kit: an extra-large U-shaped saddle to spread the load, a hardened locking pin for a secure hold and two wheels so you can shift it without too much faffing about.
Key features
- Extra-large U-shaped saddle spreads the load evenly across the axle, lowering pressure points and reducing the chance of slips.
- Nine height positions from 805–1,200 mm, so it suits a broad range of axle heights and set-ups.
- Rated to 10 tonne capacity — built for heavy commercial vehicles and buses.
- Hardened steel locking pin holds the chosen height firmly in place, so the stand won’t creep while you’re working.
- Two fitted wheels make positioning on hard surfaces much easier — one less thing to strain your back over.
- Constructed from heavy‑duty carbon steel for long-term strength and durability.
Great for
- Workshop and roadside work on large goods vehicles and HGVs where a high support point is required.
- Servicing, brake jobs, axle inspections and general maintenance when used alongside the correct lifting equipment.
- Fleet maintenance yards that need dependable, repeatable kit that won’t let them down mid-job.
Technical details and safety
Quick specs: 10 tonne rated capacity, adjustable between 805 mm and 1,200 mm across nine settings, and an overall weight of around 24.6 kg for a stable base. The body is heavy‑duty carbon steel and the locking pin is hardened steel to resist wear. Two wheels are fitted to help manoeuvre the stand on level, hard surfaces.
Safety first: axle stands support a vehicle — they do not lift it. Always raise the vehicle with suitable lifting equipment (hydraulic jack, vehicle lift, etc.), then place the stands on a level, solid surface and make sure the load is properly seated in the saddle. Check the vehicle manufacturer’s guidance for approved support points and never work beneath a vehicle supported only by a single stand without following best practice. If you’re unsure about compatibility with a particular axle or vehicle, double‑check before you start.
The stand comes with a Draper 12 months parts and labour warranty for added peace of mind. All told, this is a rugged, no‑nonsense axle stand for heavier commercial use — reliable, straightforward to set up and made to last.
