Sealey AS12000 axle stands – 12 tonne each (24 tonne pair)
These Sealey AS12000 axle stands are proper workshop kit — ideal if you need a sturdy, no-nonsense way to support a vehicle while you’re working underneath. Rated at 12 tonnes per stand (24 tonnes per pair), they’ll take heavy loads without complaint. All-steel construction, a pin‑and‑chain positive lock and a full‑width crutch mean the load sits secure and even. Perfect for cars, vans and light commercials — no more faffing about with dodgy props or makeshift blocks.
Why they make sense
There’s nothing worse than worrying whether your supports will hold when you’re under a car. These stands take that worry away. The wide crutch spreads the load, the pin‑and‑chain gives a positive mechanical lock, and the tough steel body is built for everyday use. Handy if your garage sees heftier vehicles or you’re doing weekend jobs that involve swapping axles or major brake work.
- Stable and secure on flat, solid ground — always use on a level surface and check the vehicle’s manufacturer‑recommended jacking points first.
- Adjustable height for different lift requirements, so you don’t have to jack the vehicle higher than necessary.
- Designed for mechanics and serious DIYers who need rock‑solid support during longer jobs — no wobble, no drama.
Typical uses and tips
Use them for wheel, brake and suspension jobs, or anything that keeps the vehicle raised for a while. Best practice: raise the vehicle with a suitable jack, place the stands under the manufacturer‑recommended support points, secure with the pin and chain, then give the vehicle a gentle shake to confirm stability. When you’re done, store the stands clean and dry to prevent surface rust — a quick wipe and a drop of oil on moving parts keeps everything working sweet.
