Sealey AS6R axle stands (pair) — 6 tonne per stand, red
These axle stands are made to get the job done without any faff. If you need to leave a vehicle supported for a spell while you do maintenance, welding or exhaust work, a dependable stand makes all the difference. The Sealey AS6R are heavy‑duty, welded‑steel stands that give solid support and a bit of peace of mind whenever you’re working under a car or light van.
Robust build and safety
The sturdy welded steel frame and heavy‑gauge construction means these stands will shrug off the knocks of a busy workshop. Each stand is rated to 6 tonne, so the pair offers a 12 tonne capacity — plenty for most garage tasks. The wide crutch heads spread the load to reduce pressure points, which helps avoid damage to pinch‑welds and chassis rails.
Adjustable and secure
Height adjusts from 369 to 571 millimetres, so getting the right working height is quick and easy. The captive multi‑position pin gives positive, secure support and won’t fall out if you move the stand about — no more scrabbling for loose pins under the car.
When and why you’ll use these
- Routine maintenance such as brakes, suspension or wheel work — stands keep the vehicle safe while the wheels are off.
- Longer jobs where a jack alone isn’t enough — these are for extended support, not just temporary lifting.
- DIY restorations or welding where a stable, repeatable support point is needed.
Practical details
The AS6R stands come as a pair and are finished in bright red for easy spotting in a busy workshop. They’re compact enough to stash on a shelf when not in use (product dimensions approximately 36.5 x 36.5 x 29 cm; item weight around 12.6 kg for the pair). Simple to use, low maintenance and built for everyday shop life.
Few tips and common questions
- Always use the stands on level, solid ground and position them under manufacturer‑approved lift points.
- Use a hydraulic jack to raise the vehicle to the required height, then place the stands and lower the vehicle onto them — never rely on the jack alone for support.
- Check pins and welded joints for corrosion or damage before each use; it’s sensible workshop practice and keeps everyone safe.
Some ask if these are suitable for larger vans — the capacity is good, but always check the vehicle’s weight distribution and the combined rating you need. Overall, the Sealey AS6R axle stands are a dependable, no‑nonsense choice when you want safe, adjustable support — solid, visible and made to last.
