Key features
- Rated load: each stand supports up to 3,000 kg (3 tonnes) — a pair gives ample capacity for most cars when used correctly.
- Adjustable height: quick ratchet adjustment from 280–410 mm lets you set a comfortable working height for different vehicles and tasks.
- Rugged construction: steel and cast‑iron components for durability and a reassuringly stable platform.
- Stable base: wide feet help spread the load and cut the risk of sinking on concrete or compacted surfaces.
- Practical ratchet mechanism: straightforward to operate and locks securely, so you’re not constantly faffing about while you work.
Specifications
Model: RWAS3. Brand: RocwooD. Height adjustment range: 280–410 mm. Load capacity: 3 tonnes per stand (3,000 kg). Materials: steel and cast iron. Domestic 12‑month warranty; warranty does not cover commercial or continuous heavy use.
Typical use and safety
- Ideal for tyre changes, brake-pad swaps, suspension jobs, exhaust fitting and other underbody work — particularly handy in winter when quick wheel changes are needed.
- Always use these stands on a level, solid surface and support the vehicle with a proper jack before placing it on the stands. Never exceed the marked capacity and never work beneath a vehicle supported only by stands.
- Suitable for most cars and many small vans, but if in doubt check the vehicle’s weight at the lift points and spread the load accordingly.
Some buyers ask if these are suitable for heavier vehicles — the spec is straightforward: 3,000 kg per stand. That’s plenty for most cars, but you’ll want to consider how the vehicle’s weight is distributed before deciding. Also bear in mind the warranty is for domestic use only; heavy daily commercial use isn’t covered.
In short, the RocwooD RWAS3 axle stands are no‑nonsense, solid and practical. No fancy extras, just reliable performance when you need it. If you want a sturdy pair of stands that won’t let you down for everyday garage work, these are a sensible, safe choice.
