Sealey AS6Y axle stands (pair) – 6 tonne per stand, yellow
If you want sturdy, no-nonsense axle stands that won’t faff about under load, the Sealey AS6Y pair are well worth a look. They’re designed to sit under the axle and hold a vehicle rock-solid while you get on with the job. The bright yellow finish makes them easy to spot in a busy garage or on the drive — a small touch that’s surprisingly handy.
Robust construction and safety
Built from heavy-gauge welded steel, these stands have big crutches that spread the load rather than concentrating it on a tiny point. That reduces the chance of sinking or crushing on softer surfaces. Each stand is rated at 6 tonne, so the pair gives a combined capacity of 12 tonne — ample for most cars, light vans and a fair few commercial jobs where you need extra strength.
Practical height range and secure support
The working height runs from 369 mm up to 571 mm, so they’re handy for wheel work, exhaust jobs or general access beneath the chassis. The captive multi-position pin is simple to set and stays attached to the stand, so you’re not fishing around in the muck for a dropped pin halfway through a job.
Where these stands help you
- Routine maintenance like brake or suspension work where stable support is essential.
- Longer projects that need the vehicle supported for hours or days without worrying about slippage.
- Workshops that like colour-coded kit to keep tools and safety gear organised.
Technical details and what to expect
The stands are compact for storage (36.5 x 43 x 29 cm) and the pair weigh around 12.6 kg, so they’re straightforward to move about. The heavy welded construction gives genuine confidence when you’re under the car. As always, lift the vehicle with a suitable jack first and place the stands on a flat, solid surface — these won’t make up for an unstable jack.
Final thoughts
Sealey AS6Y axle stands are practical, tough and unpretentious — exactly the sort of kit you want when you’re working under a vehicle. No frills, just dependable support. If you’re unsure whether they’ll suit a particular vehicle, check the axle load and the working height required, but for most workshop and DIY jobs they’re a sound choice. A bit of peace of mind under the car is worth its weight in gold.
