KATSU under hoist stand 0.5 ton – 1000 lb adjustable support
This under-hoist stand is a proper handy bit of kit for anyone who spends time working under cars and wants something reliable without faffing about. It’s made to support under-car bits like exhausts, sub-frames, axles, diffs and prop-shafts — not to hold the whole vehicle up. The concave, rubber-coated top plate helps prevent slipping and cushions contact points, so parts are held securely without getting scratched.
key features and benefits
- Adjustable height from 1320 millimetres to 1900 millimetres, so it’ll suit a wide range of jobs and vehicle heights.
- Rated capacity 0.5 tonne (1000 lb) — more than enough for heavy exhaust sections and drivetrain components.
- Bearing-mounted spin handle gives smooth, controlled lifting and lowering, reducing the chance of sudden drops or fiddly adjustments.
- Removable base for easier storage when the garage is busy or space is tight.
- Compact base (300 mm) and cradle (150 mm x 60 mm) let the stand fit into tighter spots under the car.

Who is this for? If you regularly drop an exhaust, swap a diff or support a sub-frame while undoing bolts, this stand will save time and muck about. Being able to tweak the height means you can hold parts exactly where needed for welding, bolting or aligning — handy when you don’t have an extra pair of hands.
Practical notes: this stand is not designed to support an entire vehicle, so always use it as an auxiliary support while the car is on a proper lift or axle stands. For very awkwardly shaped parts the rubber-coated concave plate helps, but consider extra padding or shims to spread the load safely if it’s uneven. And do check the component weight is within the 0.5 tonne limit before relying on the stand.
In short, it’s a compact, sturdy and straightforward under-hoist support that cuts down on faff and keeps jobs moving. Simple to set up, easy to store, and built to give steady support for a range of under-vehicle tasks.
