Güde 2T Car Jack Stands – Set of 2, Height 278–366 mm, Weight 3.2 kg
The car jack stand is an essential safety tool. Unlike a jack, which lifts the vehicle, the jack stand supports and secures the load while work is being carried out. Together, they form the essential pair: the jack lifts + the stand supports.
Fundamental safety rule in the workshop:
Never leave a vehicle supported only by a jack.
The Güde set of 2 jack stands offers:
- 2-ton capacity per stand – Suitable for light cars and motorcycles, up to 1500 kg per axle. The set of 2 provides a total capacity of 4 tons
- 3 height positions – 278 mm minimum, 322 mm medium, 366 mm maximum. Simple adjustment without screws
- Solid 240 × 240 mm base – Excellent stability on flat surfaces. The wide surface reduces sinking
- Foldable and compact – Weight only 3.2 kg for the set, folds away for storage in the workshop or van
- GS TÜV certification – Compliant with European safety standards, tested by TÜV Süd for reliable performance
Who chooses it:
- Auto workshops and tyre service centres – Together with a jack, jack stands are the minimum safety standard. Every workshop keeps 2–4 sets for working on multiple vehicles
- Motorcycle workshops – For lifting motorcycles, 150–300 kg, and stabilising them during maintenance without risk of tipping over
- Construction sites and maintenance work – For temporarily blocking and stabilising loads, structural elements and machinery during work
- Hobby users and garages – For anyone working on their own car in a garage, the Güde set of 2 jack stands is an essential purchase for personal safety

Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum capacity per jack stand?
2 tons (2000 kg) per single jack stand. The set includes 2 pieces for a total capacity of 4 tons. For heavy vehicles, such as vans or trucks over 2000 kg per axle, consider a set with higher capacity, such as 3T or 5T per piece.
Can I use only one jack stand instead of two?
No. Jack stands must always be used in pairs for stability and safety. A single stand does not provide sufficient balance and may cause the load to tip over. The safety rule is: always use 2 jack stands, one for the front axle and one for the rear axle.
Are the 3 height positions sufficient?
Yes, for most jobs. The 3 positions, 278 mm, 322 mm and 366 mm, cover typical working heights in an auto workshop. If an intermediate height is required, use hardwood blocks under the jack stand, never on top of the stand itself.
Is the jack stand easy to fold and transport?
Yes. It weighs only 1.6 kg per piece, with a total set weight of 3.2 kg. Folding is quick and simple. It is easy to transport in a workshop van or private garage. It is standard equipment that every workshop or hobby user keeps available.
How long does a Güde jack stand last under regular use?
The declared service life is over 15 years under normal use. The steel construction and GS certification ensure reliability. With minimal maintenance, such as an annual inspection for corrosion, the jack stand does not deteriorate significantly.
Can the jack stand remain under a lifted vehicle all day?
Yes. Unlike a jack, which must not remain under load for days, the jack stand is designed to keep the load stabilised for hours. However, during long jobs, it is recommended to check the system every 2–3 hours.
What is the difference between a jack stand and a jack?
Jack: lifts the vehicle from the ground, dynamic action. Jack stand: supports the already lifted vehicle, static safety action. Together they are an essential pair: the jack lifts + the stand supports. Never use one without the other.
Is the jack stand certified for professional workshop use?
Yes. GS TÜV Süd certification and INAIL compliance ensure that the jack stand is suitable for continuous professional use in certified workshops. It is standard equipment required by Italian safety regulations.
